Director of Sales – Manager – Five Star Media Group Five Star Media Group
Saga Communications, Clarksville, TN, United States
Saga Communications
We are a marketing and advertising company working with small, medium, and large businesses in some of the finest small and mid‑markets in the United States. A core focus of our work is managing and scaling high‑performing ad campaigns to maximize lead generation and conversion. We specialize in connecting the dots between products, tools, strategy, data, and return on ad spend (ROAS) to give our clients deeper insight into what’s driving real growth for their business.
We need a serious sales leader who understands pipeline discipline, forecasting, accountability, sales training, and culture.
This is not a desk job. It’s not a spreadsheet job.
What You’ll Lead
This role oversees a team of salespeople selling integrated advertising solutions including:
Search marketing
Targeted display
Paid social
Audio
Digital video
Your responsibility isn’t leading a sales team to "push products," it’s to ensure every campaign connects strategy to measurable business outcomes. That can only be accomplished with an understanding that the digital advertising tools, products, and strategy only matter if we are able to help local businesses see how those things turn into:
Website clicks
Store visits
Phone calls
Branded searches
And Revenue
You would want this opportunity to teach, coach, elevate, and build something that gets better because you are here.

Create disciplined forecasting and pipeline inspection habits
Raise expectations around proposal quality and strategic positioning
