VP Brand Partnerships, Technology

Responsibilities

• You’ll be driving the full deal lifecycle, owning a revenue target and leading everything from thoughtful prospecting, pipeline development, and executive relationship-building to creative strategy, proposal development, negotiation, and close.
• Own and grow a portfolio of strategic accounts, building trusted senior-level relationships across brand, marketing, media, communications, and innovation teams.
• Identify and open new business opportunities through your own network, market knowledge, and ability to connect ATTN:’s capabilities to client priorities.
• Sell integrated, creative, and social-first programs that may span branded content, creator partnerships, experiential, streaming, digital, social, and broader strategic agency-style solutions.
• Think like a brand marketer, not just a seller so understanding client objectives, business pressures, audience needs, and the role ATTN: can play in helping brands show up with relevance and impact.
• Partner closely with internal creative, strategy, account, production, and leadership teams to develop best-in-class ideas and bring them to market.
• Help evolve ATTN:’s go-to-market approach within the focus categories, identifying where the market is heading and where the company can build deeper relationships.
• Prioritize high-value accounts and develop thoughtful account plans that support both near-term revenue and longer-term strategic growth.
• Create momentum in the market by turning relationships into meetings, briefs, project-based work, and larger-scale partnerships.
• Stay closely attuned to marketing trends, technology shifts, social behavior, cultural conversation, and integrated, multi-platform campaigns.
• Operate comfortably in a fast-moving environment where the role requires both senior-level strategic thinking and a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach.

Requirements

• 12+ years of relevant experience across digital, social, media, agency, brand partnerships, client-direct sales, or in-house marketing.
• Deep experience working with technology, innovation-led, or culturally relevant brands, with a strong understanding of how these companies think about brand, audience, reputation, growth, and cultural relevance.
• Existing relationships across major technology, AI, consumer technology, social media platforms, enterprise technology, or innovation-focused companies.
• A strategic and proactive client partner with experience selling or developing branded content, social-first campaigns, creator/influencer programs, integrated partnerships, or creative agency-style solutions.
• Someone with an established senior-level network and a demonstrated ability to convert trusted relationships into commercial opportunities.
• Experienced in building client-direct relationships and navigating complex organizations with multiple decision-makers and stakeholders.
• Comfortable selling ideas and strategy, not just inventory or impressions.
• Confident negotiating and closing complex six- and seven-figure partnerships.
• Energized by building: you are excited by the chance to help shape a category, expand a practice area, and contribute to a company’s next stage of growth.
• A strong communicator and presenter with executive presence, strong judgment, commercial discipline, and the ability to build trust with both clients and internal leadership.
• A fast learner and original thinker who can thrive in ambiguity, adjust quickly to change, and bring structure to open-ended opportunities.
• Passionate about ATTN:’s mission, our content, social storytelling, and the evolving role brands play in culture.
