Account Executive - Small Business

Who we are and what we do

MPLC are the legal way to show movies and TV in a public or commercial space with a vision to be the global number one trusted partner to studios and producers for public performance licensing. We are on a mission to enable companies to use great content while championing content creators and their intellectual property.

We’re hiring a sales executive to be a part of our small business team and help build the outbound licensing team to support MPLC’s growth through acquiring new business.

The role in three bullets

• Drive new revenue: Make high volume outbound sales calls following marketing campaigns.
• Win deals: Engage stakeholders, build compelling business cases quickly.
• Collaborate across the business: Partner with marketing, sales ops and enablement to ensure a seamless buyer journey and maximise conversions.

You will be responsible for helping businesses secure licensing for public performance rights. A person in this role must be a strong communicator, motivated, resilient, coachable, and enjoys a challenge. This is for someone who exhibits drive, commitment, outlook, and responsibility. Some of our top performers come with previous sales experience or cold calling experience - it's useful but but not essential.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, scale-up environment, with a passion selling.

Let's be honest!

This isn't a passive, inbound role. You'll need to prospect, pitch, build trust with clients, and close proactively. This role involves high volume outbound activity, with sometimes low results. You'll need to bounce back quickly from rejection and setbacks to achieve results.

Some of our systems and processes are still being optimized - but we hope you'll help shape them and take initiative to suggest improvements where you see them.
