Sales Client Director (Sales) United Kingdom

Raconteur is a B2B media brand focused on creating content that challenges and inspires modern business leaders.

In recent years we have expanded our digital product suite and invested heavily into our data, audience and creative functions. That, combined with our long-standing distribution partnership with The Times and The Sunday Times, gives Raconteur a highly competitive market proposition.

Our vision is to become the go-to resource for senior business leaders and the partner of choice for the B2B brands that want to influence their purchase decisions.

In 2023 Raconteur became one of just three media brands to be certified as a B-Corp, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. In 2024, Raconteur was acquired by TechnologyAdvice, as US based digital media company specialising in lead and demand generation solutions.

All of this means it's a truly exciting time to join the Raconteur team and contribute to the next phase of growth.

Raconteur, now a part of TechnologyAdvice, is seeking an experienced Client Director to pitch and sell fully integrated print and digital solutions to clients and create long-term commercial partnerships with leading B2B brands.

Owning the entire sales process, you will engage senior decision-makers in discussion, gain a deep understanding of their challenges and pitch relevant solutions from Raconteur's suite of marketing services products. These include B2B special interest print reports in The Times, digital content hubs, insights reports, research and roundtables, as well as a range of digital content and demand-generation solutions.

While you will be expected to own your sales targets, you will receive exceptional support from Raconteur's senior leadership, branded content, marketing, data, editorial and design teams. As such, an ability to collaborate and build strong relationships across the business will be key. The right candidate will need a proven track record in winning new business and growing existing accounts. They will also need to demonstrate experience in selling complex solutions to enterprise clients and consistently beating sales targets.
