Mess+Noise’s very own sugar daddy/godfather/grim overlord Sound Alliance is seeking two Advertising Account Managers to join the growing Surry Hills-based team.

One is a senior role suiting an experienced campaigner who knows how to get the most from agency relationships working across our entire network of sites. The other will suit a music enthusiast keen to build their experience working with industry clients, specialising in Mess + Noise and FasterLouder campaigns. Our Mess+Noise translator suggests that these role descriptions simply mean ‘keep our fucking site alive, please’.

Before you think you’re underqualified, just consider whether Mess+Noise has almost caused you to lose your job through declining productivity and procrastination. If so, now you too have the chance to assist others with this important community service. Except that you will actually have a good job. And they probably won’t.

Job descriptions follow – unfortunately, the Mess+Noise translator broke so you’ll have to decipher the hidden meanings from the Illuminati all on your own.

Advertising Account Manager – Mess+Noise, FasterLouder
This is a unique opportunity to work in an environment that includes the fun and excitement of the music industry with the fast-paced dynamism of online media. We’re looking for a self motivated, team player with a driving passion for music and an excellent track record in sales. Selling online advertising across FasterLouder, Mess+Noise and an exciting new music property that we’re about to announce, you will be offering a unique proposition to music industry advertisers who are looking to reach our audience.

Experience in sales, whilst looked upon favorably, is not essential, although you must be an avid user of the internet to stay connected and discover new music and bands. Above everything, your sheer determination and desire to succeed in the music industry will be the strongest attribute you bring to this role.

Senior Advertising Account Manager – Sound Alliance
You will have at least 2-4 years of experience in online media sales with a good understanding of the fast-evolving online media environment. You will have extensive, high level contacts within advertising agencies, media buyers and direct clients. You will be a creative thinker with entrepreneurial flair and demonstrated experience in writing proposals, presentations and negotiation. You will thrive on challenging the norm, breaking new ground and offering your clients truly unique solutions.

You’re kicking serious goals in your current role and wondering why the hell you’d make a change in these uncertain economic times. This is why… This newly created role offers the rare opportunity of working alongside our Sales Director on key existing agency relationships and will soon have full accountability for this already buoyant patch. The rewards include uncapped commission and an amazing product to sell; the Sound Alliance network of sites continues to experience unprecedented growth.

To apply, send your CV and an application letter to jobs@thesoundalliance.net by July 13.
