Media Sales & Business Development Executive – Faith World TV
Faith World TV is looking for a confident, ambitious and commercially minded Media Sales \& Business Development Executive to help grow our network of churches, ministries and faith\-based organisations across the UK and internationally.

If you enjoy speaking to people, aren't afraid to pick up the phone and want a role where your performance can directly increase your earnings and career progression, we'd like to hear from you.

For more than 19 years, we have worked with churches and ministries in the UK and internationally, helping Christian organisations take their message to wider audiences through television, digital media and content production.
Faith World TV is part of TMH Media, giving our clients access to extensive media, advertising, production and studio expertise.

- Are commercially minded and motivated by targets
- Enjoy winning new business
- Can communicate confidently with senior decision\-makers

- B2B sales
- Telesales or outbound sales
- Account management
- Media or advertising sales
- Client\-facing commercial roles

Working within Faith World TV
Faith World TV operates within a Christian broadcasting environment and works closely with churches and ministries from a wide range of backgrounds.
You will need to be comfortable working within this environment and communicating respectfully and professionally with pastors, church leaders and faith\-based organisations.
An understanding of, or interest in, Christian media, churches, ministry or purpose\-led organisations would be beneficial.
What we offer
£28,000 basic salary \+ commission
You'll receive a base salary together with a commission structure linked to sales performance, giving you the opportunity to increase your earnings as you develop your pipeline and client base.
Genuine career progression
This role has been created with progression in mind.
For someone who performs well, there is a clear opportunity to develop into a TV Airtime Sales Manager, taking greater ownership of accounts, sales opportunities and revenue.
An unusual media environment
You won't be selling from a generic call centre.
You'll work within an established television and media business with access to:
- Television studios
- Production facilities
- Digital media expertise
- Broadcasting
- Advertising and media planning
- A growing international network of ministries and broadcasters
This role is 100% office\-based and will involve working between our Colchester office and Barking television studios.
You must therefore have a full driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
We're looking for someone who wants to generate opportunities and sell.
If you're looking primarily for an administrative position with occasional sales activity, this won't be the right role.
If, however, you enjoy talking to people, opening doors, developing relationships and seeing your efforts turn into revenue, we'd love to hear from you.
