Recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the 200 fastest-growing companies in America (2025), WVE is redefining how brands, artists, athletes, and build attention and drive growth online.

We're one of the industry's most technology-driven marketing agencies, combining one of the world's largest creator networks with a proprietary content distribution ecosystem that helps campaigns generate momentum, dominate social conversation, and earn compounding organic reach.

While most agencies stop once creators publish content, that's where our work begins. Our distribution flywheel amplifies campaigns through clipping pages, blogs, fan communities, meme pages, archives, paid media, and other high-performing social channels to create impression velocity that algorithms reward. The result is campaigns that trend, stay relevant longer, and drive impactful growth for our clients.

Powering it all is our proprietary campaign management tool, Centryl™, that provides real-time campaign visibility, performance insights, approval workflows, and optimization recommendations for both our internal teams and clients.

From Fortune 1000 companies to Billboard-charting artists and some of the world's most recognizable consumer brands, WVE is helping shape the future of social marketing.

The Senior Manager, Business Development – Brands is a senior sales position responsible for acquiring new brand clients and accelerating WVE's continued growth. This is a pure sales role and we're looking for a true hunter, a polished sales shark. You'll identify and engage consumer brands, develop strategic outbound campaigns, build relationships with senior marketing decision-makers, and lead the sales process from initial outreach through the first live campaign.

This is an opportunity for an experienced business development professional who understands how to consistently secure meetings with executive-level marketing leaders, uncover opportunities, and communicate value in a highly competitive marketplace. It's also a chance to interact and do business with some high-profile talent and business leaders.

We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment, enjoys opening new doors, isn't afraid to challenge conventional thinking, and wants to play a meaningful role in building one of the fastest-growing companies in digital marketing. If you're highly competitive, driven by results, excited to sell truly differentiated technology and marketing solutions, and eager to grow into a sales leadership role as WVE continues its rapid expansion, we'd love to meet you.
