  • Collaborate with internal planning, operations, and measurement teams to deliver successful, scalable campaigns

  • Forecast revenue and maintain accurate pipeline tracking through CRM tools

  • Represent the brand at industry events, media summits, and key agency meetings

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Advertising, Media or related field

  • 5+ years of experience in digital, OOH, or integrated media sales, preferably focused on agencies

  • Proven track record of closing deals and growing revenue through media agency partnerships

  • Deep understanding of the media planning and buying process across holding companies and independents


  • Experience selling high-value, data-driven media solutions—DOOH or programmatic a plus

  • Strong negotiation, presentation, and storytelling skills

  • High energy, self-motivated, and results-oriented

  • Comfortable managing complex sales cycles and collaborating with cross-functional teams

Why Join Us?

  • Help shape the future of media in a rapidly growing DOOH sector

  • Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that’s redefining real-world advertising

  • Work with nationally recognized brands and cutting-edge technology
