Job Description

Responsibilities

Own a new business quota with accountability for closed revenue
Prospect relentlessly across cold outreach, agency development, category mapping, and event networking
Build and manage relationships with media agencies and brand marketers across wellness, fitness, luxury, travel, financial services, and CPG
Develop and maintain a structured pipeline from initial outreach through close
Sell integrated partnership programs spanning content, media, podcast, commerce, and live events
Package themes, editorial integrations, and multi-platform programs — you sell ideas, not placements off a rate card
Respond to RFPs with proposals that win on creativity and strategic fit, not discounts
Work the full sales cycle: prospect, pitch, structure, negotiate, close, then hand off cleanly to activation
Transition and grow an existing book of newsletter advertisers
Upsell performance buyers into integrated brand programs

Requirements

Minimum 3 years selling integrated content, branded content, or media partnerships at a publisher, media brand, or content studio
Demonstrated track record of building pipelines from scratch and closing net-new business
Deep understanding of how content-led deals are structured: themes, editorial integration, events, talent, and first-party data
Established media agency fluency — buying process, budget cycles, key stakeholders
Experience with modern prospecting tools (Apollo, ZoomInfo, Sales Navigator, or equivalents)
Proven ability to sell multi-platform programs, not single-format placements
Proven experience running the full sales cycle through close and activation handoff
This is a work-from-home role. Candidates must be based in the New York City area and available to attend in-person events and partnership meetings as business needs require.
