About
- CoEditor builds innovative tools for publishers — enhancing the impact of journalism through technology.
- Part of the Old Queen Street Media group — home to The Spectator, UnHerd, and Apollo — CoEditor has rebuilt the technology stack behind some of today’s most influential media brands, spanning subscription billing, paywalls, CRM, customer comms, AI moderation, and real-time analytics.
- Having transformed our own titles, we’re now bringing CoEditor to market — helping media organisations, creators, and membership businesses modernise their infrastructure, unlock growth, and build more sustainable digital models.
- The Role
- We’re looking for a seasoned sales professional to help take CoEditor to market — shaping our go-to-market strategy, building partnerships, and driving commercial growth across the publishing and media landscape.
- You’ll work closely with our leadership team to position CoEditor as the platform of choice for forward-thinking media organisations, establishing new relationships, managing the sales pipeline end-to-end, and helping define the commercial strategy as we expand internationally.
- This is an opportunity to join at an early and exciting stage — with the freedom to shape how CoEditor scales and the potential to grow into a senior commercial leadership role as the business expands.
- Proven track record in B2B sales or business development, ideally in SaaS, media tech, or digital platforms.
- Strong understanding of technology-driven products and the ability to translate technical capability into clear commercial value.
- Experience in building and managing a sales pipeline from prospecting through to close — including enterprise-level or strategic partnerships.
- Comfortable operating in a startup environment, with the initiative to shape processes and strategies as we scale.
- Excellent communicator — able to engage confidently with senior executives, product teams, and editorial leaders alike.
- Knowledge of the publishing ecosystem, including bureaus, subscription management, or media operations, would be a distinct advantage.
- Driven, commercially minded, and motivated by the challenge of taking a high-potential product to market.
- Salary and commission dependent on experience.
- 5% Employer Contribution Pension Scheme.
- Generous Holiday Allowance with 25 days holiday per calendar year + birthday holiday bonus + Bank Holiday Leave
- All staff receive generous discounts at our Company restaurant, as well as free breakfast and fruit
- Cycle to work scheme
- Interest free season ticket loan
