Lead a Great Team. Make an Impact. Live Where Others Vacation.
An independent radio group is looking for its next Selling General Manager to lead a successful and respected cluster of radio stations serving a beautiful coast town. This is an outstanding opportunity for a proven radio sales leader who wants the autonomy to make decisions, the ability to influence results, and the chance to be deeply connected to the community they serve.
This is not a desk-bound management role. They’re looking for a leader who is comfortable being in front of clients, developing new business, building key relationships, and leading by example. The ideal candidate enjoys being out in the market, helping local businesses grow through effective marketing solutions while coaching a sales team to achieve exceptional results.
This role is ideal for a hands-on leader who understands that great radio stations are built through strong local relationships, talented people, community involvement, and a commitment to helping local businesses succeed. You’ll find the flexibility and entrepreneurial environment often missing from larger corporate organizations. Decisions are made locally, ideas are welcomed, and success is recognized.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Maintain an active presence in the marketplace, developing direct client relationships and leading key revenue opportunities
- Lead a respected group of local radio brands with strong community ties
- Drive revenue growth across broadcast, and event platforms
- Recruit, coach, and develop top-performing talent
- Make a visible impact on both the company and the communities they serve
- Help shape the future of local media in one of the Southeast’s most desirable coastal markets
What You’ll Do
As General Manager, you will oversee all aspects of station operations with a primary focus on revenue growth, team leadership, strategic planning, and community engagement. This is a selling leadership role, and the successful candidate will be expected to maintain a visible presence in the marketplace, develop business, and lead revenue efforts from the front.
Responsibilities include:
- Leading all revenue-generating activities across broadcast, sponsorship, and event platforms
- Developing and executing market growth strategies
- Managing budgets, forecasting, and financial performance
- Coaching and mentoring account executives and department leaders
- Creating a culture of accountability, collaboration, and excellence
- Working closely with programming, operations, and promotions teams to maximize audience and revenue opportunities
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with key advertisers, community leaders, and business partners
- Identifying new revenue streams and business opportunities
- Representing the company at industry, civic, and community events
What They’re Looking For
- Demonstrated success in media sales and new business development
- A willingness and desire to remain actively involved in sales
- Experience calling on local businesses, developing marketing solutions, and closing revenue-generating partnerships
- Proven leadership experience in radio, media, advertising, or related industries
- Strong understanding of local sales, sales management, and revenue development
- Experience leading and motivating teams toward measurable goals
- Excellent communication, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills
- Strong financial acumen including budgeting, forecasting, and performance management
- Passion for community involvement and local business development
- Ability to balance strategy with day-to-day execution
