Magazine Advertising Sales Manager

Our Magazine Sales Manager will effectively be running their own business, working from the commissions earned from all magazine ad sales.

Entering into the second year of the program the company will be expanding its distribution volume, with advertising volume to reach $6,480,000 ($972,000 at 15% commission rates). The company has already established distribution partnerships for these free publications, so circulation figures are not dependant on circulation or subscriber sales. All we need now is an ambitious, experienced Advertising Sales Manager to partner with us to help expand the venture more rapidly.

The company shall provide the Magazine Advertising Sales Manager and any staff they bring on all advertising support literature needed, but our ad sales partner shall be responsible for phone expenses, and any other business overhead they incure running the advertising sales operations. The Guild is not requiring our Magazine Advertising Sales Manager to work on an exclusive basis, so we would welcome inquiries from existing advertising sales firms.

Experience in magazine advertising sales is most preferable. Lastly, candidates with a background in business management that possess the required skills to manage a sales staff and run a growing business capable of handling the Guild's growing advertising sales needs will be given top consideration.
