What will you bring to the team?

• 2–4 years of experience in digital media sales, ideally within mobile, video, or programmatic.


• Solid understanding of the digital media landscape including CTV, OLV, digital display, native, and programmatic advertising.


• A strong network within media agencies and direct advertiser contacts.

  • Act Today, Not Tomorrow: You make smart decisions quickly, prioritize action over perfection, and keep things moving forward, even when things aren’t 100% clear.
  
  
  • Obsess About Outcomes: You’re outcome-driven, take ownership of your results, and work through challenges to deliver what really matters.
  
  
  • Evolve Through Change: You’re adaptable, curious, and see change as a chance to learn and improve. You evolve your skills to keep up and push ahead.
  
  
  • Human-driven, Powered by AI: While we use AI to drive performance, it’s our people who make the real difference. You bring empathy, collaboration, and a love of learning to everything you do.
