The Role

We are looking for a high-performing enterprise seller to join our team during a pivotal period of growth. In this role, you will work directly with brands generating $500M+ in revenue, gaining a deep understanding of their marketing needs and challenges.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a proven track record of building a book of business and managing the full sales cycle. More than anything, we are looking for a dynamic closer who can get in the room with senior marketing executives, earn their confidence, and inspire them with our vision for where creator marketing is headed.

• Strong executive presence and exceptional communication skills, written and verbal
• Ability to thrive in a lean, fast-moving environment and adapt as the business evolves
• Comfortable with Salesforce or equivalent CRM
• Proactively embraces AI and automation as part of your daily workflow, continuously looking for ways to work smarter, increase productivity, and drive better sales outcomes
