The Media Sales & Marketing department is looking for an ambitious and motivated Account Manager, responsible for performing tasks associated with the selling of commercial air time on the English Television Networks as well as promotions, sponsorships and other specialized sales activities.

Additionally, you will participate in the establishment of revenue targets and assume responsibility for achieving them. You will be expected to possess the ability to exercise independent judgment, and to demonstrate creativity and initiative.
