Headquartered in Nottingham, UK, HungryPanda operates across more than 80 cities in 10 countries: the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
With over US$275 million raised through Series D+ funding, HungryPanda connects millions of active users with authentic Asian culinary and lifestyle brands. Beyond on-demand delivery, our digital ecosystem empowers local and national brands with targeted in-app advertising inventory, high-impact visibility, and integrated marketing solutions to reach overseas multicultural consumers.
Role Overview As an Advertising Sales Specialist, you will drive client acquisition and advertising revenue by promoting HungryPanda's in-app media inventory and integrated promotional solutions. Your primary focus will be connecting with non-food and local lifestyle businesses (such as telecommunications, education, finance, real estate, healthcare, beauty, and entertainment services).
This role is ideal for an energetic, results-driven professional eager to build a career in digital ad sales. You will source commercial leads, present media packages, close contracts, and coordinate project execution to deliver tangible marketing results for clients.
Key Responsibilities 1. Lead Prospecting & Client Acquisition Identify and qualify potential advertising clients across non-food, local lifestyle, and retail service sectors using multiple outbound channels.
Build, organize, and maintain a high-quality lead pipeline and client database in our CRM system.
Conduct regular in-person visits and phone/video presentations to introduce HungryPanda's media products and commercial value.
2. Advertising Sales & Solution Pitching Actively sell HungryPanda's in-app advertising real estate (banners, splash screens, push notifications) and customized promotional packages.
Understand client marketing goals (brand awareness, local foot-traffic, app downloads, lead generation) and propose suitable ad packages tailored to their budget.
Drive the full sales cycle from initial contact to proposal delivery, overcoming objections and securing contract commitments.
3. Contract Execution & Campaign Delivery Lead commercial negotiations regarding pricing, campaign duration, and ad placements to finalize agreements smoothly.
Coordinate cross-functionally with Design, Marketing, and Operations teams to ensure ad assets are submitted, scheduled, and launched accurately on time.
Track payment milestones and manage invoice collections in accordance with contract terms.
Collect performance data (impressions, clicks, conversions), share regular campaign summaries with clients, and identify opportunities for repeat bookings and upsells.
Job Requirements Experience: 1–2 years of sales, business development, outbound prospecting, or account servicing experience (fresh graduates with relevant internships or strong commercial drive are welcome to apply). Experience in advertising, digital media, or local directories is a strong plus.
Sales Drive: Goal-oriented mindset with high motivation to hit sales quotas and earn commission; resilient and comfortable with field sales visits and cold outreach.
Communication Skills: Confident interpersonal, negotiation, and presentation skills; able to quickly build rapport and establish trust with local business owners.
Organizational Skills: Solid time management and detail orientation; capable of managing multiple campaign tasks, client inquiries, and launch timelines concurrently.
Team Spirit: Collaborative attitude with an eagerness to learn and work smoothly with internal operations and creative teams.
Language Proficiency: Fluency in Mandarin Chinese is a must to communicate directly with local Asian merchant partners; working proficiency in English is required for internal systems and documentation.
