The Tab is hiring a Head of Sales and Partnerships to join our team

The Tab Group is hiring a Head of Sales and Partnerships to help us connect some of the world’s biggest brands with millions of students and young people across the UK and US.

This is a rare build-it-from-the-ground-up role: Own the commercial proposition early, close the deals yourself, and grow your remit and team as the business grows.

The Tab Group is the youth and student arm of Digitalbox, alongside Reality Shrine and Film Shrine. We reach huge audiences through student culture, reality TV and film, creating content that speaks directly to young people.

We’re looking for someone entrepreneurial who is excited by building rather than inheriting. You’ll take a differentiated proposition to market, shape how we sell and create partnerships that genuinely connect brands with Gen Z audiences.

Our London HQ

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning the full sales cycle: Prospecting, pitching, negotiating and closing direct brand and agency partnerships
• Building relationships with brands and media agencies across the student and youth space
• Working towards revenue targets
• Helping to shape our commercial offering, including pricing, packaging and how we take partnerships to market
• Selling integrated campaigns across branded written content, social video, campus activations and events
• Growing existing clients into larger, long-term partnerships
• Working closely with talented in-house editorial and social teams to deliver campaigns
• Building the team around you: expanding the team to three within the next 6-8 months

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has five + years’ experience in media, partnerships or sponsorship sales
• Has a proven track record of closing direct brand deals
• Is confident pitching to senior decision makers at brands and agencies
• Has an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoys building a pipeline from scratch
• Has experience selling across social, campus or events
