Description Join Our Team: Multimedia Account Manager (Sales) The future of advertising is multimedia - and we’re looking for a sales professional who’s passionate about helping local businesses thrive in it! The Rochester Post Bulletin is an award-winning newspaper, Rochester’s #1 local content website, and the publisher of the area's leading lifestyle magazine, Rochester Magazine. We are a full-scale, dynamic multimedia marketing company, helping businesses connect with their audiences through a powerful mix of digital advertising, social media campaigns, targeted marketing strategies, and trusted print solutions, growing their brand and maximizing their revenue potential. We may have more than a century of history under our belt, but today we’re focused firmly on the future - helping local businesses navigate the evolving marketing landscape with data-driven multimedia solutions. We don’t just tell the community’s stories anymore - we help local businesses write theirs. This is a relationship-driven sales role where curiosity, creativity, and strategic thinking lead to success. If you enjoy building authentic partnerships and solving challenges, and love uncovering opportunities where smart solutions can make a real difference, this is an exciting opportunity to grow your career in media and marketing! Based in Rochester, Minnesota - the state’s third-largest city and just 90 minutes from the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area - the Rochester Post Bulletin serves an eight-county region of more than 150,000 residents. It is a vibrant and fast-growing community, and home to a thriving arts and music scene, an expanding food culture, and miles of parks and trails for outdoor enjoyment year-round.

Collaborate with our creative teams to develop captivating campaigns, telling clients’ stories, reaching their target audiences, and demonstrating a clear return on their investment. What We’re Looking For A bachelor’s degree in sales, marketing, business, or a related field - or equivalent real-world experience developing and growing client relationships. A self-starter who is motivated by goals and results, thrives on building connections, and is confident asking for the sale knowing that you’re offering genuine value. Excellent communication skills - whether you are discussing strategy with decision-makers and translating marketing ideas into clear, compelling solutions, or collaborating with teammates. A customer-focused mindset, with a deep commitment to delivering exceptional service and follow-through from the first conversation through campaign results. A strategic thinker who enjoys helping clients connect the dots between their current position, their goals, and the multimedia advertising solutions that we can use to get them there. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to successfully manage multiple accounts, campaigns, and deadlines. A valid driver’s license and a driving record that meets company requirements. Expected compensation for this role is between $60,000 and $70,000/year, plus uncapped commission potential, based on qualifications and experience.
