BACKGROUND

SmartPoint I/O is a fast-growing digital transformation and advertising technology company headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company partners with high-traffic venues to deploy cutting-edge digital out-of-home (DOOH) infrastructure, including large-format LED displays, interactive kiosks, edge computing hubs, cameras, sensors, and connectivity solutions.

SmartPoint delivers digital out-of-home advertising through a portable, tech-forward platform built for live events. Its mobile LED displays and digital signage can be set up at any venue including racetracks, festivals, arenas, or fan zones, giving brands high-visibility placement right where crowds gather.

Backed by AI-driven audience analytics and real-time content management, SmartPoint helps advertisers target the right audiences, swap creative on the fly, and track performance in ways traditional billboards simply can't. It's OOH advertising built for brands that want to show up where the energy is.

SUMMARY

SmartPoint I/O is seeking a Senior Vice President, Advertising & Sponsorship Sales to serve as the company's primary revenue driver during a critical growth phase. This is a "player-coach" role: the ideal candidate will be an aggressive, hands-on seller who can also build and lead a sales function over time. The company needs someone who can hit the ground running and is comfortable rolling up their sleeves to generate net new revenue across SmartPoint's expanding digital OOH and venue technology portfolio.

The Senior Vice President will focus on selling advertising inventory, sponsorship packages, and brand activation opportunities across SmartPoint's network of motorsports venues, airports, convention centers, and other high-traffic properties. Beyond selling, this individual must have the gravitas to sit with investors and stakeholders, articulate SmartPoint's value proposition, and represent the company at the executive level.
