NOVA Entertainment is one of Australia’s leading entertainment companies with a strong portfolio of brands across broadcast and on-demand audio, including Nova, Smooth and the Nova Entertainment Podcast Network. Nova Entertainment have the ambition to create and share great experiences for our people, our audience and our partners, and it’s our love of audio that drives everything we do.

Our values are integral to who we are. We believe in creating and working in an environment that supports Unwavering Unity, Relentless Curiosity and Radical Empathy.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Account Director to join our Melbourne Direct and Independent Agency Sales Team, working to grow an existing portfolio provided, but more importantly, enthusiastically seek new Audio sales opportunities in market.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated media sales professional who wants to work within one of Melbourne's most successful media sales teams.
