Ragan Communications is seeking a new-business sales hunter to join our growing team. This role is 100% focused on prospecting, pitching, and closing new businesses. It is a full-cycle sales position from first outreach through signed agreement, with no post-sale account management, renewals, or ongoing client service responsibilities.
In this role, you will sell high-value executive memberships for Ragan’s premier Ragan's Communications Leadership Council and for Ragan’s Center for AI Strategy.

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing company with a strong brand, a loyal customer base, and a workplace culture that is creative, driven, and supportive.
We are looking for a pure individual contributor who thrives on closing deals. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys outbound prospecting, engaging senior-level executives, and consistently closing $200,000+ in new monthly sales. If you love selling, are motivated by targets, and want to spend all of your time acquiring new business, this role is for you.

- Proficient with CRM and virtual selling tools to manage pipeline and closes in a remote sales environment.
- A clear, compelling communicator who articulates value and drives urgency to close.
- 5-7 years of professional B2B sales experience, preferably selling annual technology subscriptions, media memberships or the like
- Experience selling to senior executives in a consultative capacity
- Bachelor’s degree required
- Remote role
