Responsibilities

• Hunt and close new customer logos in the media & entertainment industry—you’ve got the contacts, or you’ll build them fast.

• Partner with Customer Success, Product, Marketing, and Operations teams to ensure smooth onboarding and long-term satisfaction.

• Be resourceful: solve problems independently, work around blockers, and drive deals forward even when things are challenging.

What success looks like

• Closed new logos (you and the team agree on a number).
• Building a strong pipeline, and bringing prospects into the proposal stage and close.
• Sales stages streamlined and shorter deal cycles—faster from first conversation to revenue.
• High win-rate against competitors in your vertical.
• Strong relationships built in the industry—customers become references.

• Data-driven and growth mindset: use metrics, pipelines, forecasts, and customer feedback to sharpen your approach.
• Great communicator—you can tell a story, pitch value, respond to objections, and build trust quickly.
