Client Director; Sales

Client Director (Sales)

Raconteur is a B2B media brand focused on creating content that challenges and inspires modern business leaders. In recent years we have expanded our digital product suite and invested heavily into our data, audience and creative functions. Combined with our long-standing distribution partnership with The Times and The Sunday Times, Raconteur has a highly competitive market proposition.

Our vision is to become the go-to resource for senior business leaders and the partner of choice for B2B brands that want to influence their purchase decisions. In 2023 Raconteur became one of just three media brands to be certified as a B-Corp, demonstrating our commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance. In 2024 the company was acquired by Technology Advice, a US-based digital media company specializing in lead and demand generation solutions.

All of this means it is a truly exciting time to join the Raconteur team and contribute to the next phase of growth.

As a Client Director, you will pitch and sell integrated print and digital solutions to clients and create long-term commercial partnerships with leading B2B brands. You will own the entire sales process, engaging senior decision-makers, understanding their challenges, and pitching relevant solutions from Raconteur's suite of marketing services.
