Commercial Director Journeco
About you as a person: You love growth, business development, and working towards high goals. You are used to taking great responsibility and proactively seek constant improvement. You are a positive and social person who likes to work in a team. You understand why traditional Banner Ads have worked well but are convinced that Native Advertising is the future. You have experience and understanding of Programmatic, but do not necessarily need to have worked operationally with it. You love the editorial style and have both a strategic and creative approach. You are not afraid of speaking in front of people and would love to give presentations or participate in a panel discussion. You have worked within the media industry and understand its dynamics and development.
Experiences and qualities that we assume you have: Two years of experience within the media industry, preferably within sales, strategy, or campaign management. A sense for the editorial style and the ability to distinguish a good text from a poor one. An advantage if you have some form of editorial experience/background. Understanding of designing and working with campaigns and media strategies. Experience in leading workgroups towards set goals. Relevant academic education (communication, media, digital media, journalism, B2B sales, economics, or similar). Fluent in English, both spoken and written. Additional languages are a merit but not a requirement. Interest in digital innovations. You stay informed and up to date. You are a good communicator and have the ability to sell and drive through ideas and projects. As a person, you are self-driven, trustworthy, and structured. You have an eye for detail but also understand the importance of prioritizing.
The Role: Initiate contact with potential customers, focusing on selling creative concepts and article series combined with programmatic distribution. Continuous contact with existing customers to develop and improve their media strategies. Creative work with a heavy focus on business development, involving proactively developing our value proposition and daring to challenge the status quo. Develop innovative partnerships. Responsible for setting up the company's PR strategy and participating in various events within Digital Media and Native Advertising. Responsible for building and leading a staff of freelance writers. Refine, provide feedback on, manage, and optimize the content produced by our writers to ensure it maintains the highest quality and aligns with customers' goals and strategies.
Our promise: A challenging, varied, and motivating job, where you help shape the agenda yourself. You will be given great responsibility from day one and will mean a lot to the company's future. Opportunity for a generous options program as we want you to become a part of the company, long-term. This is discussed once the probationary period has ended. Nice office in central Stockholm. You will work closely with a competent team with several years of experience in digital marketing and programmatic. An entrepreneurial culture where we learn from failures. We are used to going back to the drawing board and questioning previous assumptions.
