Samsung Electronics America, New York, New York, us, 10261
Position Summary
Samsung Ads is an advanced advertising platform that leverages Samsung’s massive first‑party TV data to help brands connect with audiences across all screens. With over 100M MAU on Samsung TV PlusTV+, we provide advertisers with unparalleled reach and insights into TV viewership. We are at the forefront of the connected TV revolution, delivering advertising solutions and experiences that are intelligent, innovative, and effective.
At Samsung Ads, we’re redefining the future of digital advertising by connecting brands with audiences in innovative ways. As a global leader in technology and innovation, we’re looking for a strong Product Sales Specialist to lead our Sponsorship, Creator, and Live Ad Formats in North America, serving as a critical part of the teams’ first‑ever Product Specialist Sales organization at Samsung Ads.
Role and Responsibilities We’re looking for an experienced Product Sales Specialist to join our first‑ever Samsung Ads Product Specialist Sales team (PSS). This B2B‑focused role is responsible for understanding, selling, and driving adoption of new Samsung Ads priority products, specifically focused on Sponsorships, Creator, and Livestreaming advertising offerings.
This senior individual contributor will work closely with Sales and GTM partners to help customers activate new and emerging Samsung Ads Solutions. This revenue‑overlay sales specialist carries a lead list, quota, and a clear mandate to help key account owners at Samsung drive customer adoption and implementation of new products.
The role will accompany Sales to speak with external customers daily, pitch new products to new‑to‑Samsung stakeholders, and educate the market on new Samsung offerings. Success will be measured by connecting with new‑to‑Samsung stakeholders in Sponsorship, PR/Celebrity, Creator, Social, and/or Livestream teams (Agency and Clients), driving product adoption, revenue per product, and shortening deal cycle time.
Reporting to the Senior Director of Product Specialists, this role is critical for ensuring the continued success of Samsung Ads.
The goal is to make Samsung Ads a must‑buy partner to top brands and agencies by activating investment in new areas and products for existing customers, while simplifying and better defining Samsung’s product adoption and GTM.
The role is based in‑office at Samsung Ads in New York City (1 PENN Plaza). It is in‑office 3 days per week, increasing to 5 days per week starting July 2026, consistent with broader Samsung America policies. Samsung offers a variety of benefits, including generous employee health, financial, and well‑being benefits, daily free catered lunches, top‑tier devices, and more.
What You’ll Do
Serve as the primary Product Specialist Sales on Sponsorship, Creator, and Livestream Ad Formats for Samsung Ads—your go‑to contact for Sales and GTM leaders, helping bring products from early stages into successful, always‑on, must‑buy offerings across customers. Focus on Samsung’s premium high‑value content portfolio, including market‑exclusive, brand‑awareness‑driving tentpoles such as the 2025 and awareness‑based offerings (e.g. Jonas Brothers Livestream concerts, SKMTown concerts, flagship Creator original initiatives on Samsung TV Plus+, and more).
Drive product adoption and product revenue—refine and accelerate the team’s overall go‑to‑market by finding the right client stakeholders, often activating new‑to‑Samsung stakeholders at brands and agencies (e.g. Social, PR, Talent, Experiential, Partnerships). Build and leverage these relationships to drive always‑on, recurring revenue and adoption for target products.
Translate product offerings into customer business objectives—take complex products and distill them into easy‑to‑understand offerings for non‑technical audiences, helping sellers deliver live presentations. Handle objections and feedback, monitor campaign performance via Customer Success, and liaise with Sales to drive client interest and excitement.
Build and refine value propositions—leverage materials from Sales Enablement and Product Marketing in‑market with customers, and provide feedback on value proposition to refine messaging.
Serve as a subject‑matter expert on these products—be the go‑to SME on priority Creator, Livestream, and Sponsorship products for Samsung, inspiring confidence in sellers and adoption/revenue from clients.
Partner cross‑functionally—work daily with Sales, Customer Success, GTM, Product Managers, Product Strategy, Marketing and others to bring offerings to life, and provide informed recommendations on product steer and deployment.
