  • Support long-term client success by maintaining relationships, identifying upsell potential, and driving renewals.
  • Keep CRM and sales systems up-to-date to ensure clean handoffs and strong visibility across the team.


What We’re Looking For:
  • 1–3 years of experience in account management, programmatic operations, media buying/planning, or sales support.
  • Familiarity with digital media platforms such as DSPs, CTV, search, and social.
  • A solid grasp of media metrics, audience targeting, and digital campaign execution.
  • A sales-oriented mindset — hungry, coachable, and commercially driven.
  • Self-motivated and proactive, with the ability to thrive in a remote environment and work independently.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-first approach.
  • Willingness to travel for in-person meetings, events, or client entertainment.


Sales Training & Growth Support:
  • Receive hands-on coaching from senior sales leaders with deep ad tech and agency experience.
  • Get access to the tools, playbooks, and mentorship you need to build your pipeline, refine your pitch, and close deals.
  • Follow a clear path to career advancement, with measurable milestones, ongoing support, and growing ownership over strategic accounts.
  • Gain the opportunity to expand into new territories and verticals as you demonstrate success and build your book of business.
