Sales Gaming Negotiation CRM Client Mapping Lead Generation Digital Production Media Sales

FULL DESCRIPTION

[Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk] is seeking a high-performance Sales Manager to drive our commercial engine. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who loves the thrill of the chase. You will be responsible for identifying, pitching, and closing creative and media deals across the entire gaming landscape.

Key responsibilities:

  • Ambitious pipeline growth: take full ownership of the sales funnel. You will be expected to proactively source, qualify, and convert leads into active clients in our CRM.
  • Closing at scale: drive the end-to-end sales process. You’ll be the one negotiating contracts, handling procurement talks, and ensuring we hit ambitious quarterly revenue targets.
  • Pitch excellence: collaborate with our creative and strategy teams to ensure every proposal is commercially sharp and perfectly aligned with the publisher / studio’s KPIs (e.g., pre-orders, player retention, or brand awareness).
  • Client mapping: deep-dive into the organizational structures of major publishers (Ubisoft, Riot, Activision, etc.) and indie developers to find the decision-makers with the budget.
  • Reporting & forecasting: maintain meticulous CRM records (Furious CRM) to provide clear visibility on sales forecasts and conversion rates to the leadership team.

Profile

  • The "Hunter" mentality: you thrive on high-velocity outreach and see every 'no' as a step toward the next 'yes'. You are persistent, resilient, and motivated by hitting (and exceeding) numbers.
  • 5+ years sales experience: you have a proven track record of selling creative services, digital production, or media within the gaming industry. You know the "buying cycles" of a game launch.
  • Gaming fluency: you can talk shop with a Product Manager on a mobile RPG just as easily as a Global Brand Lead for a Console FPS.
  • Negotiation skills: you know how to defend agency margins while closing deals that provide massive value to the client.
  • Hands-on & autonomous: you are happy to build your own decks, write your own outreach, and manage your own calendar.
  • French proficiency is a big plus.

KPIs for success

  • Revenue: quarterly and annual sales targets.
  • Outbound activity: volume of qualified meetings booked and RFP’s / concrete business opportunities generated.
  • Conversion Rate: moving leads from "discovery" to "signed Contract" efficiently.
