WE ARE BBC STUDIOS
A globally renowned media company borne of the BBC. We make and distribute the world’s most sought-after TV, audio and digital content. Our ambition is to be the home of the most powerful, entertaining, and inspiring stories for people all around the world. BBC Studios Digital don’t just reach audiences - we move them. As an award-winning department, we cultivate and amplify fandoms behind some of the world’s most iconic franchises, including Bluey, BBC Earth, Doctor Who, and Gen-Z comedy channel Funny Parts. We run over 90 channels generating 15 billion views each year, encouraging audiences to watch wherever and whenever they choose.
PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
This is a front-line commercial role with a clear mandate: grow branded content revenue by turning the strength of BBC Studios’ premium IP, global fandoms and creative capabilities into partnerships that brands and agencies want to buy.
We are looking for a commercial storyteller and a disciplined closer in equal measure: able to sell with authority, collaborate with creative and editorial teams, navigate complex stakeholder environments and keep close grip on pipeline, pricing, forecasting and delivery.
WHY JOIN THE TEAM
Reporting to the Group Sales Director, you will own a personal revenue target and lead the pursuit of high-value branded content opportunities across an allocated portfolio of agencies and clients. You will build senior relationships, unlock briefs, shape bold multi-platform ideas and convert them into profitable, repeatable business.
YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT:
Take direct accountability for your individual target, building a strong pipeline and converting opportunities into profitable revenue. Maintain clear pace, coverage and momentum against plan.
Build a high-impact growth plan, in partnership with the Group Sales Director (and your counterpart in Partner Sales), create and execute strategic account plans for priority agencies, clients and markets - identifying whitespace, growth sectors, new-budget opportunities and routes to multi-year partnership.
Use audience insight, market intelligence and the distinctive power of BBC Studios brands and fandoms to originate compelling partnership opportunities before a formal brief exists. You have a wealth of IP from superstars such as Bluey to new and emerging IP.
Lead the sales process from first conversation to signed contract: interrogating client challenges, shaping the commercial proposition, collaborating with Creative Solutions on the response, pricing confidently, negotiating effectively and closing decisively.
Build senior client and agency relationships, developing trusted, influential relationships across agency leadership, strategy, investment and partnerships teams, as well as senior client marketers. Become known as a partner who brings both commercial clarity and standout ideas.
Translate our premium IP, talent, social channels, digital reach and creative expertise into brand solutions that feel distinctive, audience-first and genuinely valuable - while respecting editorial and brand guardrails.
Create repeatable, scalable revenue: Look beyond one-off campaigns. Build sponsorships, partnership platforms and multi-market solutions that can grow across audiences, territories, formats and time.
Where the role includes direct reports or market representatives, set clear priorities, coach for performance and create a high-energy, accountable sales culture.
YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
ESSENTIAL CRITERIA:
A strong track record of personally winning content-led partnerships and delivering demanding revenue targets.
A developed network (ideally across Kids & Family, 16-34 brands) and the credibility to operate with partnership leads, agency planners, strategists and investment teams.
Experience prospecting, qualifying, pitching, pricing, negotiating and closing complex deals backed by accurate pipeline management and forecasting.
A strong understanding of how audiences consume and share content across YouTube. TikTok, Instagram and emerging platforms would be helpful to have.
Comfortable with pricing, margin, deal structure, contractual considerations and balancing client ambition with deliverability and value.
Experience working with premium IP or entertainment brands.
If you can bring some of these skills and experience, along with transferable strengths, we’d love to hear from you and encourage you to apply
