Freedom Communications: VP of Sales – help a major media company create and unleash new Interactive

You’ll be a pivotal member of the “ground floor” team launching the new and highly energetic Interactive Division of one of the nation’s largest media companies. In fact, if you’re a good fit for this dynamic role, you won’t be satisfied with merely “launching” — you’ll look forward to unleashing the Division on the interactive market. In addition to sharing in the challenge and satisfaction of helping transform what is currently a newspaper and broadcast company into an interactive media powerhouse, you’ll be in a position to take advantage of the “upward draft” of opportunity created by that transformation.
You’ll leverage your substantial interactive and advertising sales management experience in directing and managing all sales activities, including market competitiveness, pricing, compensation, and distribution and channel strategy. One of your key challenges will be building a sales organization from the ground up and increasing Interactive revenues substantially in a very short period of time. One of your key advantages will be the fact that we already own our local markets in terms of print and/or broadcast and already have sales presence and infrastructure there. You’ll also play a general leadership role in helping to create an innovative, spirited, and success-oriented organization.
While you might not recognize the Freedom Communications name, the interactive world soon will — and you’ll help make that happen. We are the 14th largest media company in the nation, comprised of newspapers, broadcast television stations, and interactive media businesses. We publish 28 daily and 37 weekly newspapers, with a combined daily circulation of more than 1.2 million subscribers. Our eight-station broadcast division includes five CBS and three ABC network affiliates.
