• Develop and maintain long‑term client relationships with key industry players and marketing decision‑makers.
• Collaborate with editorial and marketing teams to create and deliver cross‑channel media campaigns that meet client objectives—from awareness to lead generation.
• Prospect new business opportunities across pharma, contract manufacturing, and related life science sectors.
• Provide consultative advice to clients on how to maximise impact across our portfolio of products and platforms.
• Represent EPM at trade shows, industry events, and client meetings in the UK and occasionally overseas.

What You’ll Need

• Proven B2B media or advertising sales experience, ideally within publishing, science, manufacturing, or healthcare sectors.
• Strong understanding of digital marketing solutions, including display, native, email, gated content, and webinars.
• A track record of exceeding targets through consultative, relationship‑based selling.
• Strategic thinker with excellent commercial awareness and creative problem‑solving skills.
• Confident communicator with strong presentation and negotiation abilities.
• Proficiency with CRM systems, analytics dashboards, and modern media planning tools.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary (dependent on experience)
• Uncapped commission – your earnings grow with your performance
• Hybrid working – flexibility between remote and Chester HQ
• Generous holiday – 25 days plus bank holidays and your birthday off
• Travel opportunities – UK and international industry events

Why Join Us?
