Industry Sales Manager - Advertising

About the Role WMD, We're an integrated advertising agency looking for a commercially sharp Sales Manager to drive new business growth across multiple industry verticals. You'll take our full-service offering to market — Advisory (brand and business consulting), Story (creative and content), CRM & Loyalty, and Media (planning and buying) — and turn conversations into long-term client partnerships. What You'll Do You'll own the full sales cycle across your portfolio of verticals: building a qualified pipeline, mapping decision-makers, and leading pitches from first meeting to signed scope. You'll consult rather than sell — diagnosing a client's marketing challenges and packaging the right mix of our four service lines to solve them. You'll work closely with our strategy, creative, and media teams to shape proposals, negotiate commercials, and hand over won accounts cleanly to delivery. You'll also represent us at industry events and keep leadership informed with accurate forecasting and pipeline reporting. What We're Looking For • 4–7 years in agency, media, or marketing services sales, with proven wins across multiple industry verticals (e.g. travel & hospitality, retail, finance, government, FMCG, real estate) • A track record of closing sizeable, multi-service deals — retainers, project scopes, or integrated engagements • A growing network of marketing decision-makers across the region, spanning more than one sector • Ability to speak credibly across brand strategy, creative, CRM, and paid media — and to package all four into integrated solutions • Familiarity with enterprise buying processes: RFPs, agency rosters, procurement negotiations • Self-starter comfortable with an outbound-heavy role and accountable to revenue targets Nice to Have • MENA market experience • CRM/martech ecosystem knowledge (Salesforce, HubSpot, Braze) • Arabic Show more Show less
