Reporting into the Vice President, Brand Partnerships, this senior individual contributor will develop and scale high-value, integrated partnerships with top marketers and agencies, driving multi-platform solutions that deliver measurable business impact. The ideal candidate brings deep media and branded content expertise, a consultative sales approach, and a strong track record of exceeding revenue goals. You are experienced in managing complex buying cycles, influencing senior stakeholders, and building executive-level relationships - particularly within tech and other enterprise categories. Experience within the West Coast market and agency landscape is preferred. In this role, you will serve as a senior strategic partner to clients while owning pipeline development, revenue expansion, and long-term account growth. Responsibilities: Serve as a senior, trusted advisor to brand marketers and agency executives, aligning integrated solutions to enterprise business priorities, KPIs, and audience strategy. Develop and lead a strategic account growth plan that drives significant net-new and expansion revenue across priority enterprise partners. Own and drive the full sales lifecycle - from enterprise prospecting and executive presentations through negotiation, contracting, and long-term renewals. Deliver against ambitious quarterly and annual revenue targets, with executive-level accountability for pipeline health, forecasting accuracy, and sustained growth. Partner cross-functionally with strategy, creative, marketing, and production leaders to architect high-impact, insight-led partnership programs. Identify whitespace opportunities and expand long-term enterprise partnerships through renewals, upsells, and multi-year agreements. Represent the company at senior-level industry engagements and key marketplace moments, strengthening brand presence and strategic positioning. Provide market intelligence and revenue insights to inform broader sales strategy and leadership decision-making. The Impact You'll Make: You will immerse yourself in our business, clients, and capabilities to quickly establish credibility and strategic alignment across internal teams and enterprise partners. By developing a deep understanding of our offerings and market positioning, you will identify meaningful growth opportunities within both existing and net-new accounts. You will lead comprehensive account mapping across key enterprise partners, breaking down lines of business to uncover decision-makers, and revenue-driving entry points. Through disciplined agency coverage planning and proactive relationship development, you will convert insights into tangible, multi-platform opportunities that progress through the sales funnel. This is a revenue-accountable role, with success measured by your ability to grow priority enterprise accounts and convert new opportunities into meaningful, closed business. Qualifications: 8-10+ years of successful sales experience in media, digital advertising, and branded content. Proven track record of meeting and exceeding annual revenue targets. Strong negotiation skills with experience in drafting and closing complex, integrated partnership agreements. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives and deliver high-impact presentations. Familiarity and proficiency with CRM software (e.g., Boostr) and pipeline management best practices. Deep passion for culture, community, and purpose-driven brand work. Advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion both internally and externally. Be a leader and embrace our team's core values: Culture First, Play Like a Team, Pave The Way, Care, and Think Big.
