About Bay38
Bay38 is the communications engine of Walsall Wood Group. We create, package, and sell everything from branded workwear (starting with Clothing House and other boutique shaped brands) to podcasts and video, all tied into the growth of Vehicle House, the UK's most ambitious independent automotive network.
The Role
We're looking for a Commercial Sales Manager who isn't afraid to hustle. This is about making s**t happen, from chasing tenders, securing sponsorships, and landing podcast guests who open doors commercially. You'll be the person connecting dots and turning them into deals.

* Sponsorships: Secure sponsorship deals for the Vehicle House Podcast and other media projects.
* Podcast Guests: Line up high-value and high-profile guests, balancing influence, entertainment, and brand alignment.
* Pipeline: Build and manage a commercial pipeline across Clothing House, media retainers, and strategic partnerships.
* Networking: Represent Bay38 and brands at industry events, trade shows, and networking groups.
* Partnerships: Leverage our automotive roots to form alliances with suppliers, trade associations, and corporates.
* Reporting: Track revenue, tender status, sponsorship pipeline, and guest bookings directly to leadership.
What You'll Bring
* A proven record of winning business, whether through tenders, sponsorships, or pure sales hustle.
* Confidence to walk into a room (or onto LinkedIn) and create opportunities from scratch.
* Strong writing and presentation skills for tender submissions and pitches.
* Tenacity: this is about energy, persistence, and creativity in finding a way forward.
* Comfort juggling different commercial tracks (tenders, sponsorships, content deals) without losing focus.
What We Offer
* Competitive base salary plus commission on sales and sponsorships.
* A role that spans creative, automotive, and media industries, no two days are the same.
* Direct access to our studio, showroom, and leadership team.
* The chance to shape Bay38's growth from scrappy comms machine to serious revenue engine
