Your story, with Reach
As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.
We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.
We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Ready to take your career to the next level? We’re on the hunt for a proactive, well‑regarded Agency Business Manager with knowledge across digital and print to grow revenue and forge long lasting partnerships across an established patch. This role is a big deal for our team’s success, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to stretch your skills, build your network and thrive in a supportive, collaborative environment.
You’ll take the lead on day‑to‑day agency relationships, shape and deliver sales strategy, steer negotiations and produce maximum yield from the full Reach portfolio. You’ll craft and run quarterly business plans for your patch, and team up with fellow Agency Business Managers across our sales hubs to keep our approach aligned. You’ll also partner with multiple areas of the business including Programmatic, Trading, Publishing, Finance, Ad Ops, Editorial and Invention to drive advertising revenue and profitability for the team and the wider Reach plc business.
You’ll be the expert on your agency patch, and will develop close relationships to key planners, investment teams and digital seats. You’ll be a key team player, understanding an agency’s brief or client problem and create, sell and deliver a multi-platform, data-driven solution.
What you need to succeed:
To succeed in this role, you’ll need demonstrable experience in a media owner or media agency environment, with a proven track record in sales strategy and revenue growth. You’ll be highly numerate and have strong commercial acumen, enabling you to identify revenue opportunities and report performance with precision.
You should have established, influential relationships across agency planning and content teams, and strong communication skills are essential, especially with the ability to present and articulate complex ideas clearly and persuasively.
As a collaborative leader, you’ll build robust networks with internal stakeholders, and embody the core values of Reach Solutions: Collaboration, Imagination, Determination, Excellence, and Professionalism
Your marketplace knowledge should include a strong understanding of the branded content marketplace, as well as digital, national, and regional press media. A solid understanding of how Reach products fit into the wider UK media landscape is key. Finally, you’ll play a critical role in upholding our commitment to diversity and inclusion, ensuring that our non-discrimination values are reflected in all our activities.
If you’re ready to help us create and sell innovative, transformative work while driving growth for Reach Solutions, we’d love to hear from you!

- Help saving for your retirement - join our pension scheme and we’ll match contributions up to 6%
- 25 days’ holiday per year when you join.
