About DC Thomson
Two different selling jobs sit under the DC Thomson name. The group's Commercial Growth team is adding a newly created Commercial Partnerships Manager, posted to Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness (so three of the five sales listings are this one seat), who sells multi-year partnerships across the whole portfolio, from energy and golf to its B2B and consumer titles, to C-suite clients and their agencies against annual and multi-year revenue targets, with a forecast CRM pipeline, hybrid work three days a week in the office and about 20% travel; applications close 5 November 2026. The other two belong to Fifth Ring, the group's B2B marketing agency for energy, maritime, manufacturing and technology companies, with offices in Aberdeen, Houston and Singapore: an Account Director in Aberdeen who takes over a portfolio of high-value global accounts, and an Account Manager in the Houston client services team. Both agency seats are account growth jobs rather than new-logo quota: they keep retained clients' campaigns on budget and profitable, look for room to grow each account, and back the business development team on pitches, proposals and contract negotiation, with energy sector or complex industrial B2B experience named as a plus. Houston is the only US listing, one in five; the other four are in Scotland.

If one of these employers pays a referral fee, it comes from them when you apply here, and your offer stays exactly the same.
Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
