Director of Revenue - Virginia, United States - VIRGINIA PRESS ASSN

Description

Do you love networking, meeting fellow business professionals and developing real connections? Are you a problem-solver who thrives on finding solutions? Are you passionate about Metro Richmond and the success of this region's business community? Do you believe in the value of local nonpartisan journalism?
We want to talk with you

The Henrico Citizen, a 22-year-old digital news organization in Henrico County, Virginia, is seeking a full-time director of revenue to help connect local businesses and organizations with our 80,000+ monthly readers, 23,000+ email newsletter subscribers and 20,000+ social media followers.

The right candidate will help craft effective advertising, sponsored content and marketing campaigns for businesses and organizations whose messaging (and marketing budget) is getting lost elsewhere.

This position might be ideal for you if:

• you'd rather listen to someone else's story than tell your own;
• you are a creative thinker who can get results;
• you are a helper;
• you can't stand high-pressure sales pitches;
• you've never met a stranger.

We won't stop you from making cold calls or sending cold emails, but you'll fit best in this position if you thrive upon the type of personal interactions that happen at business events, networking meetings and other in-person gatherings.

The right candidate for our position is someone who loves the Richmond region and who can't wait to meet other business professionals and learn about their companies, challenges and opportunities.

Ideal applicants are driven, creative and innovative thinkers who share our belief that "There is no selling – only buying" and who function most effectively as business consultants rather than salespeople.

If you have most or all of the following experience and attributes, we'd like to talk with you:

• Proven success in a sales or development position;
• A history of overachievement;
• Extroverted leadership abilities;
• Excellent communication skills;
• Strong belief in the value and importance of local nonpartisan journalism;
• Strong knowledge of the Metro Richmond business community;
• Ability to work independently and alongside the founder;
• Comfort in a digital-only, entrepreneurial environment.

This position is full-time and includes the following benefits:

• Voluntary medical, vision, dental insurance;
• Paid holidays and PTO;
• A $50-a-month cell phone stipend;
• Paid memberships in local networking organizations.

Anticipated annual salary of $50,000+ ($30,000 annual base salary, plus commission ranging between 5% and 25% on all sales, dependent upon meeting specific sales goals).

Apply online or via email to

(subject line "Director of Revenue") and include:

• One-page resume, including highlights of your sales/development achievements;
• One-page letter describing why you're the best person for the job;
• Three references.
