IE Media, Inc. is a leading global digital media publisher reaching millions of readers and over 25 million social media followers with the most important and exciting developments in technology, engineering, and science. From the ground-level engineering of global conflict to the mind-expanding science at the edge of the cosmos, we write for a global audience that geeks out about how things work — the inventors, the engineers, the curious.
IE’s portfolio includes our flagship Interesting Engineering brand and Military Mechanics, a defense-technology vertical. Our fast-paced, international team spans multiple continents and time zones, united by a shared commitment to quality journalism, ethical reporting, and the belief that knowledge is power. As the publishing landscape transforms at speed — with AI reshaping newsrooms, Google Discover rewriting distribution rules, and audiences demanding both speed and depth — we are looking for a next-generation editorial leader who can thrive at the intersection of journalism, technology, and commercial growth.
We are on the lookout for a passionate and talented Sales Development Representative to join our diverse, global team. This is a full-cycle role spanning pre-sales, sales, and post-sales — you'll qualify and nurture leads, help close opportunities, and keep clients successful after the sale. You'll refine your sales process and learn from the best at a fast-paced digital publishing company.
