Discussion: Urgently need a Sponsorship Sales Manager

Context:

China Economic Review, China’s leading English language business publication, holds approximately 50 conferences and events a year primarily covering the areas of Business & Finance, Offshore, Property, Human Resources, Leadership Management, Executive Education, Energy, Commercial Real Estate and Logistics.

These events offer excellent sponsorship opportunities for companies looking to connect with leading players within these fields through using the conferences platform to showcase their products and services. The strength of the China Economic Review brand and the other touch points that sponsors can access on the Sinomedia platform makes this an attractive proposition.

Current clients include companies in the fields of Information Technology, Property, Executive Education, Banking & Finance and professional services intermediaries.

The job role:

We are looking for an individual with a minimum of 3 years of business development experience preferably but not essentially in a media services environment. He/She should be familiar with prospecting in to Multi-National Corporations and to selling to senior-level decision-makers. It is important that the individual has experience in the techniques of building up a sales pipeline and packaging the sponsorship offering in a professional way using a set of sales tools that CER will make available.

The position would suit an individual with an advertising sales background, particularly those who have developed expertise in selling programs directly to clients rather than to media buying agencies.

Requirements:

Fluency in English-Chinese an advantage but not essential
Familiarity with making group presentations and comfortable with public speaking
Experience at selling Integrated Marketing Solutions(The executive will need to sell the full portfolio of Sinomedia platform offerings-www.chinaeconomicreview.com- to justify the levels of investment the program will require and to give the client sponsoring companies wide exposure to the whole of the Sinomedia viewer footprint)

The package:

A basic salary commensurate with the candidate’s skills and experience
A high OTE potential with no caps on commission earnings
