Ready to take the next step in your sales career and move into a true Account Executive role?
Our client, one of the largest media and advertising companies in the U.S., is hiring an Account Executive to join their Syracuse team!
This is a great opportunity for someone early in their sales career who is competitive, outgoing, coachable, and excited to learn. You do NOT need previous media or advertising experience — you’ll receive an 8-week structured training program designed to teach you the industry, products, and sales process.
You’ll work directly with local businesses throughout the Syracuse market and help them grow through a huge mix of advertising and marketing solutions, including digital advertising, streaming, podcasts, radio, social media, video, live events, and sponsorships.
COMPENSATION & PERKS
- Year 1 base: approximately $45K–$60K
- Uncapped commission opportunity
- Long-term six-figure earning potential
- 8-week structured training program
- Full benefits package
- Monday–Friday schedule
- Career growth with a nationally recognized organization
- Opportunity to build and grow your own book of business
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Prospect and connect with local businesses throughout the Syracuse market
- Build relationships with business owners and decision-makers
- Cold call, email, network, and create your own new-business opportunities
- Meet with clients virtually and face-to-face to understand their goals
- Recommend customized advertising and marketing solutions
- Present proposals and close new business
- Manage and grow the client relationships you bring on
- Build a long-term book of business with recurring earning potential
This is a local, relationship-driven sales role, so you’ll spend a good amount of time out in the Syracuse market meeting with businesses in person in addition to prospecting and working from the office.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You do not need years of Account Executive experience to be considered.
We’re especially interested in people with around 1+ year of sales experience who are ready for more responsibility and earning potential.
You could be a great fit if you have experience in:
- SDR / BDR sales
- Inside sales
- Outside sales
- Business development
- Recruiting or staffing
- Retail or membership sales
- Telecom
- Payroll / HCM
- SaaS
- Marketing or advertising sales
More important than the exact industry is your personality and drive.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Competitive and motivated
- Personable and comfortable meeting new people
- Coachable and eager to learn
- Comfortable with cold calling and prospecting
- Excited about getting out in the community and meeting local businesses
- Organized and able to manage their own schedule
- Interested in building a long-term career in sales
A background or degree in marketing, communications, advertising, business, or media is a plus, but absolutely not required.
WHY THIS ROLE?
This is a chance to move into a full-cycle Account Executive role without needing years of previous AE experience.
You’ll get the training and support to learn the industry, while still having the freedom to build your own business, develop client relationships, and directly impact your income.
If you’re early in your sales career and looking for a role where you can learn, compete, build relationships, and grow your earning potential, I’d love to connect!
