Jobs

Location:  Barnsley town centre (In office)

There’s much more to selling advertising at the Barnsley Chronicle than just filling the gaps between the stories.

Alongside the printed newspaper which has served the people of Barnsley since 1858, we have successfully launched a series of flagship events such as the Proud of Barnsley and Young Champions awards and the #Myfuture recruitment fairs.

We also have two hugely popular websites and publish a range of specialist supplements and magazines.

All of them need to attract sponsorship and advertising support to make them viable. That is where you come in...

We’re looking for a sales person to work across our portfolio of publications, events and other exciting ventures. It’s a very varied role that will involve identifying, approaching and - crucially - convincing commercial partners to support our ideas so that we can actually make them happen.

And once you and our team have managed that, you’ll then get to play a key role in converting this support into printing a well-read publication or staging a rewarding event. Ideally, you’ll have previous sales experience but if you haven’t, you’ll probably be the kind of person your friends would say could sell snow to the Eskimos...

We like people with ‘can do’ attitudes who are willing to go out of their comfort zone to get the job done and are not afraid of trying something new. In return, we’ll offer a competitive salary plus a company car as well as a real opportunity to create your personalised working week that may involve some working from home and / or flexitime.
