Contract

Who We Are
Radiant Digital is the leading digital marketing partner for faith-based organizations. We exist to authentically connect people of faith with the ministries, brands, and organizations that matter to them — and we do it with a combination of purpose-driven storytelling and a first-party data advantage no one else has.

We're a results-driven marketing partner that launches and scales performance marketing campaigns for churches, nonprofits, Christian publishers, higher education institutions, and faith-first brands. We chase our clients' goals like they're our own — and we're looking for a sales team addition who does the same.

The Opportunity
We're hiring a Senior Business Development Strategist to drive growth in the nonprofit and faith sectors. This isn't a "take orders and process deals" sales role — we want a seasoned closer who has been in the trenches, knows how to navigate complex sales cycles, and isn't afraid to bring bold ideas to the table.

The role focuses on the full sales cycle, and your success is measured by deals won and partnerships built. You'll leverage your marketing expertise to craft compelling solutions — but make no mistake, this is a revenue-driving position. Compensation for this role is base salary plus commission, commensurate with experience.
