About Trainline
Trainline earns a commission and fees on every rail and coach ticket booked through its app and website, and its sales hiring sits in the two businesses built on top of that traffic rather than in the ticket store itself. Trainline Media sells advertising across the app and site to media agencies and direct clients and is moving out of its pilot phase: a general manager is wanted to own its revenue target and lead a team of more than ten across sales, ad operations, client success and strategy, and a senior advertising sales manager will carry an individual target, open new agency and brand accounts and keep a portfolio of them, with programmatic, display, native and video formats as the expected toolkit. Trainline Partner Solutions offers the same booking platform to carriers, travel sellers and companies (a global API, an agent booking tool, white-label web and app, business accounts), and its Global Distribution team is adding an account executive to look after a book of travel management companies in the UK and Europe, renewing and negotiating their contracts and growing their rail volume. The other five of the eight openings the board counts as sales are marketing posts in the Commercial team: a brand proposition lead, a senior PPC executive and three brand and paid media roles on nine-month fixed-term contracts. All eight are in London, on a hybrid rule of at least 60% of working time in the office.

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.
