Sales Executive, Financial Promoter

Financial Promoter is the UK’s freshest financial title. Our readers are marketing managers at banks, asset managers, fintechs, payments companies and beyond.

Launched in April by Rhotic Media, Financial Promoter landed initially as a high-quality, quarterly, perfect-bound magazine. It is about to launch a sister website in the coming weeks and several events in the months that follow.

After a phenomenal response to the print launch, we are accelerating our plans to expand the title, building a dedicated team within the business, in response to market demand.

Financial Promoter analyses marketing campaigns of financial services companies across capital markets and retail finance. We speak to marketers in banking, investment, pensions, lending, and professional services. We cover major financial conferences, seminars, and exhibitions around the world, focussing in on campaign trends so marketers better understand what their peer group are doing.

After the initial launch, it is clear there is commercial appetite for the title, with exhibitors, media companies, recruiters, and tech platforms all keen to reach our audience of sophisticated financial marketers.

Who we want

We are looking for a graduate interested in a career in media. If you are keen to learn how magazines, events and websites are driven, commercially, then this job is for you!

The sale executive will drive bookings for the magazine, the website and the soon-to-be-launched annual conference – FP Live!

We offer an incredible opportunity to sell against a unique brand with a generous commission structure.

You’ll likely be keen to build a network that will set you up for your career. You’ll be a people person, keen to develop new relationships and keen to learn how to cultivate leads and generate new business opportunities by email, phone and in person.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone with an interest in media, publishing or events. You will be working as part of a brand new team to build a product set that is a big investment area for the agency.

You’ll cultivate new relationships with clients and be organised, with sound admin skills. On a day-to-day basis you’ll be contacting prospects regularly. While some of this will be done on email and over the phone, there will also be travel within the UK, Europe and worldwide.

You’ll also be expected to complete order confirmations for new bookings, liaise with the finance team on invoice queries and manage administrative duties through our CRM system.

As a signatory to the Social Mobility Pledge, we are not prescriptive about educational background. Tell us why you think you’d be great! We will consider candidates that do not fit this brief entirely, but we ask that those applying from different backgrounds offer convincing reasons why they should be considered. We would also consider a job share for this role.

What we offer

We ask that you are based at one of our offices at least two days of the week (London or Essex), with flexible working possible for the remainder of the week. We provide laptops and mobile phones to assist with remote working.

We are building a company that cares about its employees, its clients and broader society. Salaries are grouped into bands, based on experience. We believe that salaries should be standardised across the board, with no discrimination based on your gender, race, sexuality, or social background.

Our pension scheme is with the National Employment Savings Trust and staff are eligible for the pension scheme from their first day. Every employee is covered by the Rhotic Media Assistance Scheme which offers free access to legal, medical, financial and wellbeing professionals, should they need help at any time.
