Job description
The Kyiv Independent — Ukraine’s biggest English language publication, is looking to fill an Account Manager/Sales Manager position.
The Kyiv Independent is Ukraine’s main English-language news outlet. It was founded in November 2021 by a team of reporters and editors who were fired from the Kyiv Post for defending editorial independence, in partnership with a media consultancy company Jnomics. Today it’s a team of around 80 people based mostly in Kyiv. Publishing in English, we serve as Ukraine’s voice in the world and the world’s window into Ukraine.
Their mission:
Serve as the bridge between Ukraine and the world, delivering reliable news, context, and on-the-ground reporting.
Type of cooperation: hybrid (Kyiv) or remote.
Your journey: message from the Recruiter > Interview > Test task > Final Interview > Job Offer.
We’ll have a match if you have:
3+ years of professional experience as an Account Manager.
Fluency in English (C1+), both written and verbal.
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
Experience with Google Analytics (as there is a lot of work with programmatic advertising).
Professional experience with HubSpot, Notion, and Google Workspace.
A strong sense of ownership and accountability within your area of responsibility.
Responsibilities:
Communication with clients, from the first email/call to closing the deal.
Build and nurture trusted, long-term relationships with our customers.
Working with advertising on KI’s website, and coordination between teams (especially editorial, SMM, and the finance department).
Resolve customer inquiries and issues with efficiency and professionalism.
Anticipate and prevent potential customer challenges before they arise.
Why The Kyiv Independent?
Involvement with the largest and most influential English-language publication in Ukraine.
The ability to implement your own ideas, not the feeling of a cog in the system.
A meaningful publication that seeks not merely profit, but aims to convey the truth and serve as a bridge for international readers, helping them understand events in Ukraine.
A sense of yourself among your people who are charged with results.
Work with the global market and a huge audience.
