About the Role

Drive new business and expand revenue across brand, agency, and OEM advertisers. This is a quota-carrying, consultative sales role owning the full cycle from prospecting and pitch through negotiation and close, then partnering with internal teams to set new partnerships up for success. Sell the full TI Media portfolio using first-party data as an edge.

Responsibilities

  • Own a new-business quota, building and managing a healthy pipeline across brand, agency, and OEM prospects.
  • Prospect strategically, identify high-potential advertisers, map decision-makers, and open conversations through outreach, referrals, and industry networking.
  • Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline hygiene in the CRM, and communicate progress clearly in weekly pipeline meetings.
  • Lead discovery to understand each advertiser's business goals, then build and present compelling, data-driven proposals.
  • Use Trader Interactive's first-party marketplace data to differentiate proposals and connect recommendations to measurable client outcomes.
  • Negotiate pricing, packaging, and terms to close deals beneficial for both the client and TI Media.
  • Partner with Account Management to ensure a smooth transition from signed deal to campaign launch, sharing context on client goals and expectations.
  • Quarterback key accounts alongside Account Management, co-leading quarterly business reviews (QBRs) and using them to drive renewal and upsell conversations.
  • Identify incremental optimization and growth opportunities across DSP, social platforms, and search, translating campaign performance into clear, actionable recommendations for clients.
  • Bring an analytics-driven point of view to client reporting — turning first-party marketplace and campaign data into a clear story of value that strengthens retention and surfaces upsell.
  • Stay close to key accounts post-sale to identify upsell and renewal opportunities, working alongside the AM who owns day-to-day delivery.
  • Represent the voice of the advertiser internally, feeding market and product insight back to sales leadership.
  • Build relationships with Director, VP and C-level marketing executives and key marketing decision makers within partner organizations.
  • Employ critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills to navigate relationships and difficult partner conversations.
  • Be an indispensable cross-functional partner across the Product, Marketing and Operations team to ensure we are delivering on partner needs.

Requirements

  • A proven track record of meeting or exceeding new-business targets and closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
  • Solid knowledge of digital media and marketplaces, including direct IO, programmatic guaranteed, private marketplaces (PMP), and biddable programmatic & social environments.
  • Confident, consultative communication skills — you can make complex data clear and persuasive for senior client stakeholders.
  • Comfort with CRM (e.g., Salesforce) for pipeline management and forecasting.
  • Excellent listening, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Speed, resourcefulness, and a go-getter mentality.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and navigating ambiguity.
  • Excellent negotiation and problem solving skills, a hunter's mindset.
  • Experience selling into automotive, powersports, marine, RV, or heavy equipment verticals (Bonus).
