Description
Advance your sales career with LOCALiQ
Ready to take your sales career to the next level? Join LOCALiQ, part of Newsquest Media Group, as a Field Sales Executive and become a key player in helping local businesses grow through powerful, results-driven advertising solutions
This is a field-based, consultative sales role where you’ll be booking meetings in the Enniskillen region, working with business owners and decision-makers face-to-face.
We are looking for someone who is digitally focused and understands the benefits of social media and display advertising.

The role is full-time, Monday to Friday during office hours.
