About the Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Media Sales Partner to build a long-term commercial partnership with Meri & Rime.
This is not a conventional employment role.
We are looking for someone who wants to operate as a true commercial partner: bringing their media sales expertise, relationships, ideas, and network, while working closely with our team to grow revenue together.

The goal is to create a model where both sides benefit directly from the growth they generate together.

The Media Sales Partner will receive an agreed percentage of the revenue generated through the partnership, with the potential for a higher partnership share as the relationship develops and revenue grows.
The exact commercial structure will be agreed together based on experience, network, contribution, responsibilities, and the opportunities the partner brings.
Our intention is to create a model where: You grow the business Meri & Rime grows your share grows.
We want to build a relationship that becomes increasingly valuable for both sides over time, rather than treating this as a conventional sales position.
