B2B Sales

Location: London

Salary: £35,000-£45,000 / OTE £50,000 - £65,000+ per annum (DOE)

Established in 2002, our client is an independent London-based legal media company firmly committed to delivering pivotal insights. Their range of print and digital products, as well as in-person and online events, provide primary legal, regulatory and policy information and reporting to businesses worldwide.

They believe in pursuing fresh, indispensable information to advance the industry as a whole. Across their products, they cover over 60 areas of law and over 190 jurisdictions, connecting our audience with the expert knowledge they seek out and rely on. They're passionate about highly-relevant, real-time information that empowers learning and advice as it's shared among their global community, which is made up of private practice lawyers, in-house counsel, compliance officers and businesspeople.

The Role

Our client is looking for a Sales Account Manager to help expand their global reach whilst offering the opportunity to work within a brilliant team connecting legal experts worldwide.

The role consists of maintaining and developing relationships with existing clients, whilst establishing and building new partnerships within defined areas. New business opportunities are identified through self-research and data-led leads. The role involves predominantly liaising with clients via the phone, due to their international locations; however, there is the opportunity for occasional international travel to network and meet clients at their offices and industry events, so it is essential that you are confident, articulate and determined.

The Product:

As part of the commercial team, you will primarily be selling content marketing opportunities (thought leadership contributions) in their legal publications (namely the International Comparative Legal Guides and the Global Legal Insights series). The ICLG series provides indispensable information from leading legal minds to empower learning across their global community of law firms, businesses, governments and high net worth individuals; whilst the GLI series brings crucial discussion points into focus, to advance the industry and deliver educational thought leadership to their global community.
