Description
Director, Brand Partnerships
ACC and Pixly are hiring a closer. We're looking for a Director of Brand Partnerships with creative instincts, a rolodex of brand decision-makers, and a track record of winning pitches in the influencer space. You'll lead new business for Pixly, a performance-focused influencer marketing agency powering campaigns for Epic Games, Warby Parker, NordVPN, and more.
If you've spent years selling into brands, know YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch inside and out, and love the thrill of a well-won pitch, we want to talk.
What You'll Do
  • Lead new business efforts across priority categories, prospects, and partners
  • Own the pitch process end-to-end — from RFP through proposal delivery and close
  • Serve as a senior client-facing lead in pitches, workshops, and presentations
  • Shape strategy and narratives that connect client briefs with influencer opportunities
  • Oversee pitch scoping, resourcing, timelines, and budgets for feasibility and profitability
  • Partner with our parent company, ACC, on sales strategy and pipeline development
  • Identify proactive growth opportunities across existing relationships and industry networks
  • Track leads, opportunities, win/loss insights, and conversion rates
  • Represent Pixly at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities
Requirements
What You'll Bring
  • 7+ years of relevant experience, including 3+ years in new business development
  • Proven track record leading and winning influencer pitches
  • Deep knowledge of the creator economy across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch
  • Experience with Apollo or similar sales automation platforms
  • The ability to translate briefs into clear goals, frameworks, and compelling narratives
  • Strong collaboration skills across creative, strategy, and performance teams
  • A growth mindset, a strong network, and the instinct to spot opportunity — and close it
