Introduction:
As the research and analysis division of the Economist Group, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) helps leaders prepare for opportunity, empowering them to act with confidence when making strategic decisions. The EIU is the global standard in providing quality, actionable intelligence to the public and private sector, assessing issues that impact the marketplace for over two hundred countries.

The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network (EICN) is the executive briefing and networking service of The EIU.

- Manage the whole sales cycle from prospecting through to closing the sale
- Ensure the right level and number of participants attend member events
- Take ownership of your remit as if it was your own business
- Act as a trustworthy and reliable Economist Group brand ambassador

Experience, skills and professional attributes:
**The ideal skills for the role are**

- Some degree of experience in selling intangible (preferably content/data-related) services to C-suite using in-person, phone and online channels on a high-volume, high-frequency basis
- A certain level of refinement and sophistication when communicating
- Ability to build and maintain trusted partner relationships at the highest level (C-suite/executive)
- The ability to work well alone and to be a self starter
