The Role
We're hiring a Media Sales Executive to sell advertising placements, sponsored content, and partnership packages to brands who want to reach our highly engaged, loyal audience.

Proven track record of hitting or exceeding sales targets
Strong written and verbal English communication skills
Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote, commission-driven role
Familiarity with military, defense, or tactical/outdoor industries is a plus, but not required

What We Offer
Competitive base salary depending on experience
