The Role

We are hiring a revenue-driven, hunter-minded sales professional who understands the media and agency landscape and can convert relationships into revenue. This is a quota-carrying individual contributor role focused on net-new business development. You will be responsible for building your own book of business from scratch: prospecting, developing your pipeline, managing the full sales cycle, negotiating, and closing.

You should be comfortable speaking with both agency investment teams and brand-side decision makers. You know how to sell intangible value: strategy, outcomes, media innovation, not just inventory.

What You’ll Own

  • Revenue generation is the job. Everything else supports it.
  • Build and manage a robust self-sourced pipeline across agencies and brand-direct accounts
  • Possess strong prospecting discipline and pipeline creation skills
  • Sell programmatic, social-to-DOOH, video, and CTV solutions into agencies and enterprise brands
  • Translate complex ad tech solutions into business impact for clients
  • Lead discovery conversations with agency planners, buyers, and senior marketing decision-makers
  • Negotiate and close deals independently
  • Forecast accurately and manage pipeline health
  • Work cross-functionally with strategy, product, and client success to deliver strong campaigns
  • Stay ahead of market trends across programmatic, CTV, retail media, and social ecosystems

Who You Are

  • You are commercially sharp. You understand how agencies operate, from investment teams to activation, and you can navigate holding companies and independent shops alike.
  • You likely have 4-8 years of sales experience and a track record of exceeding quota. More importantly, you have proof that you can generate new revenue without relying on inbound leads.
  • You are comfortable selling ideas that require education and buy-in. You can articulate value beyond CPMs. You can speak about business outcomes.
  • You are resilient. Rejection does not deter you. It motivates you.
  • You live in or near a major metro market (preferably NYC) because proximity to agencies and brands matters. You know that face time closes deals.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3-8 years of media or advertising sales experience
  • Proven history of exceeding quota in a net-new business environment
  • Experience selling to agencies and/or brand-direct clients
  • Deep understanding of media buying workflows and decision-making structures
  • Strong prospecting discipline and pipeline creation skills
  • Confidence in presenting to senior decision-makers
  • Highly motivated by commission and performance-based compensation

Startup experience is a plus. Hunter mentality is required.
