The role is a crucial one within the organization, with a major input into its strategic positioning and pricing decisions on the balance between print and electronic delivery; we sell to libraries, institutions and companies world-wide, so you will need to be adept at developing sales agencies, contract negotiations and revenue control, in addition to judging the marketing spend between subscription renewals and new customer acquisition.

This is a job for a self-starter who can make effective judgments and make things happen – but who can also enthuse colleagues and manage relationships, both within the company and among customers and stake holders. We would expect the successful candidate to have some years’ sales/marketing experience in an STM environment, highly developed commercial antennae, comfort and familiarity with website marketing and direct mail, and a sense of excitement stemming from involvement with a prestigious and well-founded list.
