Description:

Our client is a prestigious organisation whose publishing arm is a leading publisher of information for pharmacy and medical professionals in both print and online formats. They are seeking a Sales Manager to join their team in central London.  

Reporting to the UK Business Development Manager, the Sales Manager will be responsible for growing subscription and licensing revenue streams whilst also maximising print sales in academic and corporate markets via UK and European customers. This will involve analysing the market and results, monitoring targets, driving sales, identifying opportunities, visiting key customers on a regular basis, and the ability to negotiate at a high level. You will also be responsible for managing and motivating a Senior Sales Executive to whom you will effectively communicate the overall sales strategy as indicated by the UK Business Development Manager. 

The successful candidate will have a significant level of STM print and digital selling experience within a publishing environment. A proven track record of managing and motivating people is desirable but is not essential.  With strong customer facing, marketing and presentation skills and the ability to work under pressure, the Sales Manager will have excellent knowledge of UK corporate and academic sectors.  The ideal candidate will have a keen eye for detail and strong analytical skills with good written and verbal communication, as well as developed organisational and administrative skills. You will be comfortable working both autonomously and as part of a team and be able to demonstrate strong negotiation skills.  In return, the company offers a competitive salary and excellent benefits, along with the opportunity to gain experience with a globally renowned STM Publisher.
