Media Sales Executive

The Senior Sales Executive is responsible for developing and managing media sales, content sponsorships, and strategic partnerships across the Chemical Engineering and POWER brand portfolio. Chemical Engineering is the leading global media brand serving the chemical process industries, delivering essential technical news, analysis, and connections to engineers, plant managers, and technology decision-makers through digital and print media, newsletters, webinars, white papers, and branded content. POWER is the authoritative source for the power generation industry, reaching executives, engineers, and operators across electric utilities, independent power producers, and industrial power users. The power generation market is in a strong growth mode driven by surging energy demand, grid expansion, and the buildout of new generation capacity — while the chemical process industries continue to grow and diversify across multiple sectors, from petrochemicals and specialty chemicals to sustainable fuels and advanced materials. Together, Chemical Engineering and POWER offer advertisers a uniquely powerful and diversified platform to reach the buyers and decision-makers shaping both industries. This is a senior consultative sales role requiring fluency across four core solution areas — Market Insights, Custom Content, Branding & Awareness, and Demand Generation — and the ability to map those solutions to where a client sits in their buyer’s journey. The Senior Sales Executive will build and grow a portfolio of accounts across the chemical process, energy, and power generation sectors, establishing long-term partnerships that drive revenue growth across all platforms and product lines. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Sell consultatively across all four solution pillars — Market Insights, Custom Content, Branding & Awareness, and Demand Generation — by investing time to understand each client’s business objectives, target audience, and where they need support across the buyer’s journey before proposing solutions. Sell Market Insights products — including custom surveys, focus groups, AI/AEO brand visibility analysis, social sentiment scorecards, and enhanced lead profiling — to clients seeking audience intelligence and competitive positioning data within the chemical process and power generation markets. Develop and sell Custom Content programs — including white papers & briefs, case studies, sponsored articles & executive Q&As, custom videos, and podcast interviews — with the ability to build a compelling content narrative that serves both the client’s brand and the Chemical Engineering and POWER audiences. Sell Branding & Awareness solutions — including display & newsletter sponsorships, sponsored content & executive interviews, dedicated email campaigns, and omni-channel brand amplification — to clients focused on visibility and market presence across the chemical and power industries. Sell Demand Generation programs — including nurtured lead programs, ABM & intent-targeted campaigns, editorial and roundtable webinars, and pipeline & buyer’s journey multi-channel programs — with fluency in how marketers measure MQLs, pipeline contribution, and campaign ROI. Create and develop custom integrated proposals that span multiple solution pillars and product lines, building a clear business case tied to each client’s specific marketing goals and budget. Handle a broad account territory across the chemical process, energy, and power generation sectors — including equipment manufacturers, technology providers, engineering firms, EPC contractors, utilities, and industrial operators — managing both new business development and strategic renewal and upsell of existing accounts. Aggressively prospect for new business using a range of outreach methods — including cold outreach, LinkedIn, industry directories, conference networking, and referrals — to identify ideal marketing and advertising targets across the chemical and power sectors and navigate to the right decision-makers within complex organizations. Attend key trade shows and industry events to meet with current and prospective clients and deepen market knowledge; represent the Chemical Engineering and POWER brands at industry gatherings. Build and maintain a robust sales pipeline, including accurate forecasting and regular reporting to VP Sales and VP Energy & Engineering; build prospect lists and achieve meeting quota as determined by VP Sales.
