Account Manager - Third Sector at Haymarket

Brand/Title Description

A fantastic and rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced Account Manager to join The Third Sector Display / Research team.

Third Sector

In its twentieth year, Third Sector has firmly positioned itself as the number one brand at the core of the charity and not-for-profit sector. This has been cemented further with Third Sector recently receiving highly commended at the 2012 Periodical Publishers Association (PPA) Awards in the business brand of the year category.
Third Sector has a reputation for delivering high quality and trusted editorial content with a clear philosophy ‘to help charity and not-for-profit professionals to do their jobs better’.  

Third Sector Research

Third Sector Research launched in 2010 after the success of Charity Brand Index, a report based on a survey of consumers’ perceptions of charities and sold to individual organisations. As part of your role on Third Sector you will sell a range of high-quality, paid-for research reports aimed at the voluntary sector market. The role is available due to an internal move at Haymarket and would require a strong sales person to take the brand to the next level. 
With a clear online strategy in place, the successful candidate will particularly have a passion for driving and delivering high online revenues. 
The ideal candidate will be a strong account manager looking for their next challenge in a fascinating and rewarding sector. You would have a consultative, strategic and intelligent sales approach, with experience in selling on a large brand portfolio.
