Sales Director, North America - Storyful News & Video

Sales Director

Storyful, a Dow Jones company and part of News Corp, is a global leader in verified social media news, video and intelligence. We help newsrooms, publishers, broadcasters, platforms and other media organisations understand what is happening across the social and digital landscape, with a focus on verified eyewitness content, rights-cleared video and trusted digital context.
Storyful is hiring a Sales Director to lead growth for our core News & Video business in North America.
This is a senior individual contributor role with ownership of a defined North America revenue target across Storyful Newswire subscriptions, including new business, renewals, retention, upsell and account expansion. The role is central to how Storyful grows its publisher, broadcaster and digital news customer base in one of our most important markets.
We are looking for someone who can combine disciplined sales execution with strong market judgement. Marketing will support broader awareness, campaign activity and sales enablement, but this role will be responsible for turning that activity into targeted account engagement, stakeholder mapping and commercial follow-through. The right candidate will be credible with newsrooms and media organisations, comfortable navigating complex sales cycles, and able to position the value of verified eyewitness video in a market where speed, trust, rights, workflow value and audience relevance all matter. While the immediate priority is disciplined growth in the core Newswire business, the role may also support selected video licensing opportunities where there is clear client demand.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a priority growth region for Storyful News & Video. The role sits at the intersection of Sales, Editorial, Marketing and Product, with scope to influence how Storyful engages the North American media market.
For a commercially driven seller, it offers a strong mix of account ownership, new business development, senior client engagement and input into targeted go-to-market strategy.
