Senior Sales Executive - UK

Job Description

About The Market Link

The Market Link is a global capital-markets marketing and investor-acquisition group spanning ADVFN (UK), InvestorsHub (US), Stockhouse (Canada), and HotCopper (Australia). We help public companies and agencies reach active retail investors at scale with integrated digital campaigns, sponsorships, content, and data-driven programs.

You’ll sell across all four platforms, with a primary focus on UK and European growth via ADVFN and our broader global ecosystem.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a well-connected, hunter-type Senior Sales Executive to build and close new business in the UK and European markets. You’ll own a revenue number, prospect into listed issuers, IR/PR agencies, brokers and corporate advisers, and turn complex needs into integrated programs that deliver measurable outcomes.

This is a full-cycle role for a closer who thrives on relationships, strategy, and execution in and around the UK capital markets.

What You’ll Do

• Own a book & build pipeline
  Prospect, qualify, and advance new opportunities; run a tight cadence across outbound, events, referrals, and partner channels.
• Full-cycle selling
  Lead discovery, solution design, proposals, negotiation, and close - with clean handoffs and leadership through onboarding and delivery.
• Sell integrated programs
  Map client objectives to cross-platform solutions (investor reach, content, sponsorships, data), align KPIs, and drive ROI across UK and global audiences.
• C-suite & adviser relationships
  Engage CEOs, CFOs, IR/PR leads, brokers and corporate advisers/NOMADs with a consultative approach and credible market insight.
• Work closely with brokers & intermediaries
  Develop and deepen relationships with brokers and intermediaries to drive repeat programs, deal-driven campaigns, and ecosystem opportunities.
• Forecast with rigor
  Maintain accurate CRM hygiene and deliver reliable weekly pipeline forecasts.
• Be present in-market
  Represent The Market Link at UK and European industry events, conferences, and roadshows; travel as needed.

Requirements

What You Bring

• Proven B2B closer
  5-8+ years selling media, ad-tech, sponsorships, finance or related solutions to listed issuers, financial firms and/or agencies; consistent quota-beater and new-logo hunter.
• Domain credibility
  Strong grasp of UK capital markets (AIM, LSE main market, and/or small/mid-cap especially), how retail investors move, and what issuers, brokers and agencies value.
• Executive-level consultative selling
  Ability to translate objectives into persuasive, ROI-driven proposals; confident negotiating five- and six-figure programmes.
• Networked in the ecosystem
  Existing relationships across UK issuers, IR/PR firms, brokers, corporate advisers and other ecosystem partners - and the drive to expand that network.
• Operational discipline
  Excellent communication, presentation, and time-management skills; meticulous CRM (Salesforce/HubSpot or similar) and forecast accuracy.

Nice to Have

• Experience packaging multi-property or multi-market media solutions.
• Familiarity with financial products/services and emerging trends in financial media and investor marketing.
• Exposure to UK regulatory and disclosure environments (e.g., FCA, market announcements, corporate actions).
• Advanced sales/negotiation training or formal methodology (MEDDIC, Challenger, SPIN, etc.).

How We Work

• Remote-first (UK) with regular virtual collaboration and travel to London and key client locations as needed.
• Working hours generally aligned to UK market hours, with flexibility around conferences, events and roadshows.
• Cross-functional delivery with campaign, content, product and finance teams to ensure timely execution and clean billing.

Benefits

What You’ll Get

• Competitive compensation (base + variable) aligned with experience and impact.
• A high-impact seat selling across four leading investor platforms with strong brand recognition in their home markets.
• A collaborative, growth-focused culture where strong operators have room to run and win.

If this opportunity sounds like it’s a good match with your skills, background and career direction, apply now and help us shape the future of investor engagement in the UK and beyond.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.

We thank all applicants for their interest; however, we will only be contacting selected candidates for follow-up.
