About Prospect

Prospect is an independent current affairs magazine bringing together influential voices from politics, business and public policy. Our growing programme of roundtables, conferences, advertising and bespoke partnerships connects organisations with decision-makers.

The opportunity

We’re looking for a proactive B2B salesperson to generate new business and grow their own portfolio of commercial partners. You’ll sell opportunities ranging from £2,000 advertising packages to £15,000–£20,000 event sponsorships, supported by an established brand and a collaborative team. This is a hands-on sales role, not a management position.

What you’ll do

• Research and approach new prospects across business, marketing, communications and public affairs.

• Own the full sales cycle: outreach, meetings, proposals, negotiation and close.

• Sell event sponsorship, advertising, content and tailored partnerships.

• Build repeat business through strong client relationships.

• Maintain a disciplined pipeline and accurate forecasts in HubSpot.

• Work towards £200,000 annual revenue (£50,000 per quarter).

What you’ll bring

• A proven track record in B2B new-business sales, ideally sponsorship, media, events or partnerships.

• Confidence prospecting independently and selling consultative solutions.

• Strong communication, relationship-building and closing skills.

• Commercial curiosity, resilience and organised CRM habits.

• An interest in politics, government or policy; direct experience is welcome but not essential.

Why join us?

You’ll have ownership of your accounts, a varied product portfolio, the chance to work with influential organisations and a visible role in a growing commercial business. Salary is £45,000 plus 10% commission (£65,000 OTE at target).
