Sales Executive - Media + Events

Financial Promoter is the wholly owned media brand of Rhotic Media and serves marketing professionals working at financial services companies across the UK.

Several products operate under the FP brand, including a conference, an awards scheme, a magazine, a website and a weekly newsletter. There is also a engaged community on LinkedIn.

Our annual conference - FP Live! -attracts delegates and sponsors from across the capital markets and financial services spectrum. In 2024, we built the brand further with the addition of an awards scheme and ceremony, and a host of thematic micro-events.

We are immensely proud of the brand that has already won an award for "best trade magazine" and made the finals of both the International Content Marketing Awards 2023 and the European Content Marketing Awards.

FP works in tandem with its parent company Rhotic Media, a marketing agency that serves companies in the fintech, capital markets, personal finance and insurance industries.

WHO WE WANT

We are looking for a driven and proactive salesperson with outstanding commercial acumen and a relentless approach to chasing down deals.

As Financial Promoter moves into its second year of operation, we need a salesperson who can book in sponsors for our awards scheme, exhibitors to our conference, and advertisers for print and digital.

To be successful in the role, that individual will need great communication skills on the telephone, in person, on email, and using business platforms such as LinkedIn.

To achieve the best results (and highest commissions) the individual will need to relentlessly pursue new business opportunities. You’ll understand that high volumes of cold outreach is necessary to build an impressive client book, so you’ll likely be able to brush-off those who decline your approaches with ease.

WHAT WE OFFER

This role is an important job function in our business and responsibility for the development of new client accounts will rest with you. Given the importance of this role, we are offering an enticing commission structure on top of a basic salary of £30,000.

The commission structure allows you to earn commission from every deal, but it become progressively more generous as you exceed targets each month.

Rhotic Media also offers a bonus scheme for all employees, which is assessed and paid twice a year in accordance with the company’s overall performance and each individuals contribution to that performance. In December 2023, this saw every staff member receive an additional sum in their pay cheque.

We ask that you are based at one of our offices at least two days of the week, with flexible working possible for the remainder of the week. We provide laptops and mobile phones to assist with remote working. Our head office is in London, near Fenchurch Street station and our regional office is in Chelmsford City.

We are building a company that cares about its employees, its clients and broader society. Salaries are grouped into bands, based on experience. We believe that salaries should be standardised across the board, with no discrimination based on your gender, race, sexuality, or social background.

Our pension scheme is with the National Employment Savings Trust and staff are eligible for the pension scheme from their first day.

As a signatory to the Social Mobility Pledge, we are not prescriptive about educational background, but we would anticipate that the right candidate would have some media sales experience.

We will consider candidates that do not fit this brief entirely, but we ask that those applying from different backgrounds offer convincing reasons why they should be considered. We would also consider a job share for this role.

How to apply

Please include a covering letter when you apply, explaining why you feel the role, and the company, would be a good fit for your skills.
