About us.
PA Media Group is the UK’s leading provider of trusted news, information and data services. For more than 150 years, we’ve played
a central role in the UK media ecosystem.
Today, we’re evolving.
As the communications landscape shifts, we are building a more integrated, commercially focused marketing communications division,
bringing together specialist brands including Mediapoint, Hydrogen, Sticky and PA Media Assignments into one powerful, joined-up
proposition.
About the opportunity.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the growth of Mediapoint, our market-leading media intelligence platform.
As a Sales Executive, you’ll focus on driving new business - engaging prospects across corporate, public and not-for-profit
sectors, and helping them better understand the news agenda, connect with media and shape their voice.
This role is ideal for a proactive, “hunter” mindset salesperson; someone who enjoys building pipelines, opening doors and
converting opportunities while developing their consultative sales approach.
You’ll work closely with the Sales Team Lead and be part of a wider commercial function, giving you exposure to broader sales
opportunities across the PR & Marketing Services division.
What you’ll be doing
* Prospect within your assigned territory to identify and generate new business leads
* Initiate conversations with prospective clients to understand their PR and communications challenges
* Develop a strong understanding of Mediapoint and position it effectively against client needs
* Manage the full sales cycle - from initial outreach through to negotiation and contract close
* Build and maintain a healthy pipeline, with a focus on conversion and forecasting accuracy
* Work closely with marketing on sales campaigns, inbound leads and outreach activity
* Approach your territory with structure and consistency to maximise coverage and opportunity generation
* Collaborate with colleagues across the wider division to support cross-sell opportunities where relevant
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone with the drive to win new business, combined with the curiosity to understand client challenges and sell
solutions - not just products.
You’ll likely bring:
* Experience in a sales role, with exposure to the full sales cycle (prospecting to close)
* A track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets
* A proactive, resilient mindset with a focus on generating opportunities
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* The ability to manage a territory in a structured, consistent way
It would be a bonus if you have:
* Experience or interest in media, marketing, PR, technology or data-led environments
* Exposure to consultative sales approaches (e.g. SPIN, Challenger)
* An understanding of cross-selling or working across multiple products/services
This role is particularly suited to someone who is early in their sales career but ready to step up, or someone looking to build
their expertise in a more consultative, insight-led environment.
Why join us
* Be part of a growing, evolving division with a clear ambition to build a more integrated and commercially focused marketing
communications offering
* Sell a market-leading product – Mediapoint sits at the intersection of data, insight and communications strategy
* High-impact role with clear ownership of your pipeline and contribution to revenue growth
* Opportunity to grow and develop your skills in consultative sales within a supportive, ambitious team
* Exposure to a wider portfolio – collaborate across the division and contribute to broader commercial opportunities
* Competitive salary with performance-based bonus (uncapped earning potential)
* Hybrid, flexible working typically 3 days in the Paddington office
* 25 days’ holiday plus options to buy more, alongside enhanced family leave
* Life assurance 4x salary
* Wellbeing and volunteering days to support you inside and outside of work
