International Sales Executive

A well-known academic publisher is hiring for a new International Sales Executive for their London office. Reporting into the Head of International Sales, this role will look after high-profile international clients and drive sales through for new accounts, including online and non-traditional businesses.

This company offers hybrid working with 2 days a week in their office in Central London.

Main responsibilities:

• Managing accounts for allocated territories and channels, as defined by the Head of Sales
• Communicating sales tools and information on company and distributed lists to international customers and agencies
• Generating trade sales in key markets, arranging regular meetings with agents and customers
• Negotiating promotional opportunities to grow company's awareness and revenue in international markets
• Compiling monthly sales and commission sales reports, and providing regular analysis on accounts and new businesses

This role is the perfect next step for someone who enjoys account management and working with international customers, and who is genuinely interested in the publishing world. We're looking for some sales experience, and demonstrable presentation and negotiation skills; knowledge of another language is an advantage, but not an essential requirement.
