Today, we're a FTSE 250 company driven by our incredible team of over 1,000 Trainliners from 50+ nationalities, based across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. With our focus on growth in the UK and Europe, now is the perfect time to join us on this high-speed journey.
Media has proven advertiser demand and is now focused on building a larger, more predictable and repeatable sales engine. This role is central to that next phase, improving how the team plans, prioritises and manages sales performance so that sellers are focused on the right advertisers, generating high-quality opportunities and taking the actions needed to deliver revenue goals.
You will act as the commercial operating partner to Media's sales leadership and sales team, working backwards from revenue targets to define the pipeline, prospecting and sales activity required to deliver the plan. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role with no direct reports, where success depends on combining rigorous analysis with strong commercial judgement, and on influencing experienced sellers without managing them directly. You will work closely with Sales, Marketing, Finance and Client Success to remove barriers to revenue.
In this role as the Senior Ads Sales Planning & Operations Manager, you will...🚄
Translate annual and quarterly revenue targets into clear pipeline, prospecting and account-planning requirements, and run the sales-performance reviews that keep the team focused on the right actions.
Define and track the leading and lagging indicators used to manage commercial performance, giving leadership a clear view of capacity, productivity and revenue risk.
Build and maintain a prioritised prospect universe across advertisers, agencies and verticals, helping each seller focus on the accounts most likely to convert.
Own pipeline standards, forecasting methodology and commercial reporting, improving the quality of opportunity data in Salesforce and giving leadership an honest view of committed, likely and upside revenue.
Analyse where the team spends its time and reallocate effort toward the highest-value selling activity.
Introduce AI-assisted tools and reusable frameworks that sharpen pitches, personalise outreach at scale and simplify repetitive sales processes.
Partner with Sales, Marketing, Finance and Client Success to remove barriers to revenue and share learnings that improve how the team sells.
Build analytical dashboards that track sales effectiveness, productivity and the impact of the tools and processes you introduce.
Enjoy fantastic perks like private healthcare & dental insurance, a generous work from abroad policy, 2-for-1 share purchase plans, an EV Scheme to further reduce carbon emissions, extra festive time off, and excellent family-friendly benefits.
We prioritise career growth with clear career paths, transparent pay bands, personal learning budgets, and regular learning days. Jump on board and supercharge your career from day one!
We're operating a hybrid model and ask that Trainliners work from the office a minimum of 60% of their time over a 12-week period. We also have a 28-day Work from Abroad policy.
