Sales Director, Marketing Magazine Hong Kong

Position:Sales Director, Marketing Magazine Hong Kong
Company:Lighthouse Independent Media
Role Description:

First launched in Singapore in 2002 before extending its reach into the Hong Kong market in 2006 and the Malaysian market earlier this year, Marketing has grown to become Asia's undisputed number one media brand for the region's advertising & marketing professionals. Offering superior reporting and analysis in each of the markets it operates, Marketing's audited circulation is double that of its nearest competitor in Singapore, triple its closest competitor in Hong Kong and more than double its closest competitor at a regional level.

With a solid foundation established, now is the time for Marketing to progress to a new level and we need a true sales superstar to lead our advertising sales charge.

We offer a highly attractive base salary, commission incentives and a very rewarding bonus structure. More importantly, we offer the right candidate the chance to really make a difference, to contribute to a business and to establish the type of reputation in Asia's media industry that will open doors for years to come.

Company Description:

Lighthouse Independent Media has carved its niche in Asia's business media industry through the success of its three market-leading media brands, Marketing, Human Resources and Procurement. Each brand houses several business units: magazines, directories, websites, email newsletters and events.

In addition to our network of offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, new media brands are in development, as is further regional expansion of our existing brands. Lighthouse is a company on the move.

Committed to continual improvement and a passion for constantly raising standards, Lighthouse's decidedly Western corporate culture is one of achieving goals through staff empowerment. With rapid expansion and impending launches, Lighthouse has the following vacancy for the right candidate in its Hong Kong office.

Requirements:

More than anything, you are passionate about media - the products, the players and how it all works. You cast your discerning eye over every newspaper, magazine, TV network, billboard, radio station and website you come across and think about how it all works & how the stakeholders make money. Media is your life.

You are in advertising sales and you love it, even on the bad days. You might earn more money in other industries but as far as you're concerned, there's no better game than media and advertising sales is the best part of the most dynamic and most exciting business in the world. For you, there's nothing better than scrutinising a new prospect, having an intelligent business conversation with the most senior executive, presenting your audience, putting a smart proposal together and closing the deal.

In addition to your supreme sales skills, you also have experience in training and leading a team of sales professionals to achieve great things.

Other prerequisites include:

- At least four years advertising sales experience.
- Experience with sales strategy, sales plans and budgets.
- Ability to work autonomously with little management supervision.
- Excellent communications skills, fluent in written and spoken English.
- An ambitious, competitive nature and unyielding confidence that you can be the best.
- A methodical, goal-oriented approach and an unyielding pursuit of those goals.

If you think you have what it takes to take Marketing to the next level, we would like to hear from you.
