Director of Sales & Partnerships

CoEditor builds innovative tools for publishers — enhancing the impact of journalism through technology.

Part of the Old Queen Street Media group — home to The Spectator, UnHerd, and Apollo — CoEditor has rebuilt the technology stack behind some of today’s most influential media brands, spanning subscription billing, paywalls, CRM, customer comms, AI moderation, and real-time analytics.

Having transformed our own titles, we’re now bringing CoEditor to market — helping media organisations, creators, and membership businesses modernise their infrastructure, unlock growth, and build more sustainable digital models.

We’re looking for a seasoned sales professional to help take CoEditor to market — shaping our go-to-market strategy, building partnerships, and driving commercial growth across the publishing and media landscape.

You’ll work closely with our leadership team to position CoEditor as the platform of choice for forward-thinking media organisations, establishing new relationships, managing the sales pipeline end-to-end, and helping define the commercial strategy as we expand internationally.

This is an opportunity to join at an early and exciting stage — with the freedom to shape how CoEditor scales and the potential to grow into a senior commercial leadership role as the business expands.

• Experience in building and managing a sales pipeline from prospecting through to close — including enterprise-level or strategic partnerships.
• Comfortable operating in a startup environment, with the initiative to shape processes and strategies as we scale.
• Excellent communicator — able to engage confidently with senior executives, product teams, and editorial leaders alike.
• Knowledge of the publishing ecosystem, including bureaus, subscription management, or media operations, would be a distinct advantage.
• Driven, commercially minded, and motivated by the challenge of taking a high-potential product to market.

• Salary and commission dependent on experience.
