Furthermore, you will be responsible for budget planning, control, and sales controlling to financially secure all measures and manage them strategically efficiently.

Your Responsibilities

• You lead and develop the team in the single sales & subscription area.
• You are responsible for the cross-brand sales strategy with a special focus on increasing revenue, price development, budget optimization, and performance-oriented measures.
• You develop strategic sales concepts that intelligently combine editorial identity, target group potential, and market conditions – with a focus on single sales, but transferable to other channels such as subscriptions or export.
• You take on budget responsibility for your area: You plan, control, and monitor sales budgets and forecasts, develop scenarios, and optimize the use of funds based on economic KPIs.
• You analyze sales, IVW, and market data and derive concrete forecasts, pricing models, and business cases that contribute to secure target achievement and revenue scaling.
• You identify growth levers and efficiency potentials, develop measures for their exploitation, and manage their implementation – right up to the POS.
• You work closely with our sales partner MZV.
• You strategically support special editions, launches, and PoS campaigns and cooperations – from positioning to quantity calculation.
• You network internally with editorial, marketing, finance, and production to secure the commercial goals of our brands across all channels.

Your Profile

• You have at least 5 years of experience in strategic magazine sales – preferably with a focus on price and quantity control, POS, market development, and budget responsibility.
• You have initial leadership experience or proven project responsibility and see yourself as an integrative team player.
• You have profound experience in budget planning, economic controlling, and the operational management of sales budgets.
• You have a deep understanding of sales systems, media markets, and consumer behavior in both print and multichannel areas.
• You can develop strategies from data: IVW, sales figures, returns, benchmarks – for you, these are not abstract numbers, but drivers for action.
• You are entrepreneurial, analytical, and brand-conscious – with a keen sense for target group relevance and brand-appropriate pricing.
• You bring a leadership mentality: You don't just think along, but ahead – and provide impulses for economic success.
• You work independently, structured, and are looking for an environment that combines creative freedom with brand power.
• Good English language skills, both written and spoken.
• Fluent German language skills, both written and spoken.

What we offer you

• A strategic key role with real impact on brand reach, POS visibility, and sales success.
• Close collaboration with experienced sales experts, editorial teams, and production.
• An inspiring, creative work environment in a globally leading media company.
