Application Deadline: 25 August 2025

Department: Sales and Commercial

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Welshpool

Reporting To: Donna Maddock

Compensation: £30,000 - £32,000 / year


Description

LOCALiQ, part of Newsquest Media Group, the UK’s leading local publisher, is on the lookout for a motivated, driven Business Development Consultant to join our team covering the Mid Wales Region.

With access to over 200 trusted news brands, an award-winning events division, and cutting-edge digital marketing solutions, LOCALiQ helps businesses connect with their audiences like never before. To support our continued growth, we’re looking for someone ready to represent our suite of digital products and our renowned title, The County Times.


Key Responsibilities

This is a varied and rewarding role where you’ll be selling a suite of LOCALiQ’s digital marketing services and print advertising solutions. You’ll take a consultative approach to sales - building strong, lasting relationships with clients by understanding their needs and offering tailored solutions. You’ll manage your own territory and sales pipeline, actively identifying and reaching out to potential clients, converting new prospects, and maintaining a steady flow of business. Success in the role means meeting and exceeding set targets and KPIs, using a mix of video calls, phone outreach, and in-person meetings to build rapport and close deals. You’ll also take care of a number of key accounts, ensuring clients receive excellent service and measurable results.


Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for a confident and proactive sales professional who thrives on creating connections and securing new business. While experience in sales, media, or marketing would be ideal, we’re just as interested in your mindset, resilience, adaptability, and a genuine passion for helping clients succeed are key. You’ll need to be comfortable working independently across a defined region, managing your workload effectively, and spotting new opportunities along the way. If you have a background or interest in forestry, farming or agriculture sectors, that’s a bonus but certainly not a requirement. For this field-based role, you will require a full UK driving licence along with access to a vehicle.
What the role involves:


Job Benefits

If you are charismatic and enjoy a challenge, then this is the role for you. This position provides an exciting work environment, with an uncapped commission structure, individual ongoing training, and a real opportunity for career progression.

LOCALiQ is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. Our recruitment process will consist of various stages and activities, as part of our commitment to fairness to all applicants, we will consider any adjustments that could help you.
