Can Robert Walters provide advice on market trends and salary benchmarks?
Sales and marketing hiring in 2026 reflects a shift toward strategic, data-literate, and technically fluent professionals who can operate alongside AI handling routine tasks.
In marketing, demonstrable capability such as certifications, AI fluency, and data confidence, are shaping hiring and salary outcomes. Demand is sustained for roles such as marketing automation managers, digital marketing specialists, and product marketing managers.
In sales, SaaS remains one of the most resilient hiring pockets, with steady demand for sales and business development representatives, account executives, and sales leadership.
Candidates who bridge technical and commercial fluency are commanding higher starting salaries. Our salary benchmarking tool allows you to see where your compensation stands compared to the market.While sales and marketing teams are expanding headcount in 2026, nearly half report difficulty in sourcing skilled talent, and contract arrangements are becoming more common as a flexible alternative to permanent hires. Base salaries have broadly stabilised, though on-target earnings and accelerators remain competitive, with further insights in our Salary Guide. Employers offering a clear revenue thesis, strong enablement, and genuine progression will be best positioned to win talent.
