Media Advisor / Business Development
MyKeeneNow.com & SaveLocalDeals.com

Part-Time | Approximately 10 hours per week | Keene-area, in-market role

Do you know the Monadnock Region’s restaurant, entertainment and events scene — or want to get to know it?

MyKeeneNow.com and SaveLocalDeals.com are looking for a part-time Media Advisor / Business Development representative to build relationships with locally owned restaurants, attractions, entertainment businesses and event organizers across the Keene area.

The role is focused on helping local businesses reach more customers through local media, sponsored content, promotions and special offers.

What You’ll Do

Identify and qualify prospective local clients, with a focus on independently owned restaurants, breweries, attractions and entertainment businesses.

Build relationships with business owners and decision-makers through phone outreach, follow-up and in-person visits.

Develop compelling offers and promotions for SaveLocalDeals.com.

Help local businesses tell their stories through sponsored articles on MyKeeneNow.com, including new openings, anniversaries, new menus, community involvement and other newsworthy milestones.

Sell sponsorship opportunities tied to seasonal and local guides, such as restaurant, date-night, holiday and live-music guides.

Connect local festivals, concerts, theater productions and community events with sponsorship opportunities.

Manage your own sales pipeline from initial contact through proposal, close and ongoing client relationships.

Schedule

This is a part-time position of approximately 10 hours per week, with a flexible but structured schedule focused on prospecting, outreach, follow-up and in-person visits.

What Success Looks Like

During your first 90 days, you’ll work toward:

  • Building a list of approximately 100 local restaurant, attraction and entertainment prospects
  • Having meaningful conversations with 40–50 prospective businesses
  • Turning qualified conversations into appointments, proposals and new partnerships
  • Landing your first several clients and establishing a repeatable book of business

The focus is on qualified conversations, appointments and proposals — not simply call volume.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need years of advertising or sales experience. We’re looking for someone who:

  • Enjoys meeting people and building relationships
  • Is comfortable with phone outreach, follow-up and face-to-face conversations
  • Can identify a good story, promotion or marketing opportunity for a local business
  • Is organized and follows through
  • Wants to help build something in the community rather than simply work toward a sales quota

Familiarity with Keene’s restaurant, brewery and entertainment scene is a plus, but curiosity and a willingness to get out and learn the market are just as important.

Why This Role?

  • Flexible, part-time hours that can work around another job, school or family commitments
  • The opportunity to work directly with local businesses and organizations
  • A defined, coachable sales process and established local media platforms
  • The chance to be part of growing local media brands serving the Monadnock Region
