Are you ready to combine your passion for media with your talent for building relationships and driving results?
We’re looking for a motivated, outgoing go-getter to join our independent publishing house in a dual role that blends advertising sales with feature writing. This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants to grow their career in the media industry — whether you're just starting out or making a bold mid-life career change to follow your passion.

- Working closely with local businesses to book campaigns and feature placements
- Building lasting client relationships and smashing explicit sales targets
- Attending networking events and becoming a familiar, trusted face in the community
- Writing feature articles for your clients — with the opportunity to contribute more widely as your skills develop
- This is a results-driven role — you\'ll be expected to meet and exceed sales targets, work proactively, and thrive on the satisfaction of helping local businesses succeed through creative advertising and strong storytelling.
About You:
- You love the world of print — from community newspapers to glossy magazines
- You\'re confident, authentic and driven with a natural ability to connect with people
- You\'re excited by the idea of closing a deal and seeing your work in print
- You take pride in your work and push yourself to deliver results
- Sales or writing experience is a bonus — but attitude is everything, and full training will be provided
- You\'re a positive, community-minded person who genuinely wants to do good through your work
- Whether you\'re a recent graduate with hustle, or someone looking for a meaningful career shift, this is your chance to get your foot in the door and build something great.
