The Associate Account Executive (AAE) is an entry-level to early-career sales role designed to train future Account Executives. The role functions as an apprentice to senior sellers, supporting the sales team in prospecting, pitch development, account coverage, and day-to-day sales activity. While not a quota-carrying position, the AAE plays an active role in the selling process and gains direct exposure to clients, agencies, and the full sales motion. The primary objective of the role is sales training and readiness, while meaningfully increasing the productivity of the sales team. Note: This position offers the opportunity for remote work or work from home as there isn’t a nearby office. GumGum is excited to only consider applicants residing in the local area listed in the job description for business needs including some or all of the following: client interaction, team interaction, timezone, etc.
