Trade Marketing Specialist

If you’re passionate about sports, marketing and entertainment, we have just the role for you. We’ve created a new Trade Marketing Specialist role to support our commercial offering, Sky Venue. You’ll help our sales team put their best foot forward as Sky ambassadors. You’ll turn our customer proposition into compelling campaigns, communications, events and sales tools that spark interest, build loyalty and support growth.

Bring fresh ideas, challenge “how we’ve always done it” and help develop a consistent brand story that takes customers on a journey with Sky. You’ll take day-to-day ownership of our story and proposition, creating standout presentations and content for Sky Venue’s sales teams and customers. From time to time, you might help our broader Sky Advertising and Sales functions too, because we’re a team that supports each other. There’s plenty of variety if you dare to be bold, with opportunities to work across Sky’s product offerings and customers of all shapes and sizes. From new product launches to customer events, you’ll take ideas from brief to delivery, keeping things on brand, on time and within budget.

You’ve got a solid marketing foundation and you’re ready for your next challenge: more variety, hands-on projects and the chance to help build something. You’re curious about what makes customers tick, enjoy turning ideas into clear, compelling stories and bring a creative eye alongside a well-organised approach. You like working with others, asking good questions and following through on the details. You don’t need to have seen it all—you’ll bring ideas, initiative and a willingness to keep learning.

What you can bring to the role:

• Around 2 – 4 years’ experience in brand marketing and/or trade marketing, and enthusiasm for putting that experience to work in a hands-on role.
• A way with words and presentations—you can make an idea clear, engaging and persuasive, whether you’re writing it down or talking it through.
• A practical, thoughtful approach to solving problems, with an eye for both the bigger picture and the details that make work shine.
• Experience creating sales materials, proposals or presentations, plus an understanding of how research can help tell a stronger customer story.
• The organisation to juggle projects and meet deadlines, and the initiative to suggest better processes or opportunities to automate repetitive work.
• Confidence using Microsoft Teams, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word and Excel to collaborate, create and keep things moving.
• Bonus points for a relevant tertiary qualification, media industry experience, knowledge of media buying and sales processes, or skills in InDesign, Photoshop and Figma—but these aren’t must-haves.
