Senior Account Executive, West Coast US / POR - Remote

About the role

You'll own the western region as our Senior Account Executive, Programmatic. That means building and converting a pipeline of high-value brands and agencies, running a consultative sales motion anchored in real data, and serving as the commercial face of 2045 on the West Coast.

What You'll Do

• Own and grow the programmatic sales pipeline across Western Canada and the US West, focused on high-ACV, high-intent accounts in verticals including Media & Entertainment, Retail, Financial Services, Travel, Government, Pharma, Auto, and CPG.
• Lead consultative, account-based sales conversations, positioning our Non-Price Variables™ (efficacy, agility, consistency, expertise) rather than competing on media cost.
• Develop and convert relationships with senior stakeholders at independent agencies, D2C brands, eCommerce companies, and client-direct accounts.
• Collaborate with our internal data scientist and trading team to build custom, insight-led proposals that are impossible to ignore.
• Leverage our Diamond-Shaped Campaigns™ methodology and multi-DSP infrastructure to differentiate in every pitch.
• Maintain disciplined pipeline hygiene in HubSpot and participate in weekly revenue reviews with the CRO.
• Represent 2045 at key industry events and build your regional presence as a trusted, senior programmatic voice.

What You Bring

• Proven track record in programmatic advertising sales, whether from agency, DSP, SSP, or independent AdTech.
• Demonstrated ability to close high-value, complex deals and manage multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
• Deep fluency in programmatic mechanics: DSPs, PMPs, audience targeting, measurement, and attribution.
• A consultative, strategic approach. You lead with insight, not rate cards.
• Strong relationship builder who earns trust at the senior level and knows how to entertain, educate, and close.
• Comfort working in a lean, high-accountability environment where your results are visible and your ideas get heard.
• Experience across multiple client types: independent agencies, holding company groups, and brand-direct.
