CHN Sales Officer JD
To apply: send a CV and a one-page cover letter to pv@climatehomenews.com
Deadline: 14 August, 2027 at 23:59 GMT.
The role:
We are seeking a passionate and proactive freelance media sales professional to identify, develop and secure mutually beneficial commercial and sponsorship relationships. Knowledge of the international climate/development/environmental sector would be advantageous but is not essential.
You’ll be part of the Development team at Climate Home News – an award-winning digital newsroom specialising in international climate policy and negotiations – and an essential component of driving income generation to hit annual targets.
Climate Home News has a global audience and works with the likes of Unilever, Signify, Adaptation Fund, Fossil Fuel Treaty, IISD, 350.org, Climate Action Network (International) and GSCC.
This is an initial three days per week role, fully remote and may in the future require travel with expenses paid by employer.
The basic salary is £28,000 pro rata with a generous uncapped commission structure linked to securing new business. OTE would see this salary surpass £40,000.
Key Responsibilities
We are an independent digital newsroom whose aim is to inform audiences and inspire action on the climate crisis and the global energy transition. For 15 years, we have reported from various international climate and environmental negotiations, publishing news and analysis on topics such as climate policy, carbon markets, just transition and climate finance, and conducting investigations on related issues.
In September 2025, after seeing historic funding partners unable to renew their support, we launched a paywall on our website to generate income to fund our business. We offer sponsorship, advertisement and content opportunities to Corporates and NGOs, subscriptions for readers and organisations, and licensing agreements for overseas media.
We have a global audience of climate-conscious professionals with our website gaining 1.8m views in 2025, from more than 696,000 unique visitors. Each week, we send out our Climate Weekly newsletter to 25,000 readers. Thanks to our expert analysis and reliable reporting, we are respected around the world in climate policy circles, and our content is valued by government officials, diplomats, UN agency staff, academics and campaigners working for a low-carbon, climate-resilient world.
