- Cultivate strong connections with both media agencies and direct brand clients by navigating complex decision-making processes and approval flows with sensitivity and professionalism.
- Design and sell integrated campaigns that combine print, digital, and marketing solutions with clear deliverable and timelines aligned to client objectives.
- Support the development of cross-border business opportunities by building partnerships with GBA clients, leveraging market insights, and collaborating closely with internal teams.
- Maintain disciplined pipeline management by accurately tracking opportunities, adhering to regular meeting cadences, and providing reliable weekly forecasts using CRM tools such as HubSpot.
- Coordinate campaign delivery by working hand-in-hand with internal teams to ensure timely execution and continuous optimisation of performance metrics.

- A minimum of 5 years’ experience in media sales or related fields such as magazine sales, premium lifestyle platform sales, event or sponsorship sales, advertising sales or agency-side partnerships is essential; candidates with greater experience may be considered for more senior roles.
- Transferable skills from adjacent industries such as event management, exhibition or sponsorship sales, integrated marketing or PR agency roles (client-facing or partnerships), luxury brand partnerships or trade marketing are highly valued.
- Proven track record in prospecting new business through cold approaches and converting leads into paid campaigns is necessary for success in this role.
- Experience engaging with Greater Bay Area (GBA) or cross-border markets including Mainland China clients is advantageous but not mandatory.
- Comfortable managing relationships with advertisers in Luxury / Beauty / Lifestyle / Art / Exhibition sectors either directly or via agencies is important for this position.
