• Collaborate with senior leadership to identify potential new client opportunities, support business development and structure a bespoke approach for each engagement
• Contribute to MediaLink's industry-leading thought leadership platform with unique insights, innovative thinking and exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Leverage industry network, trades and MediaLink intelligence to uncover trends and opportunities for active client assignments and future business development

Your Experience

• Proven track record of selling through recommendations to internal teams and/or clients; demonstrated success in turning ideas into actions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Fluency in media/advertising/technology industry terms and trends
