About this role
As an Account Executive, you will sell to brand marketers, advertisers, and agencies, closing committed marketing spend rather than fixed-price software seats. This role is in person at our New York City office in FiDi, 5 days a week.
What You’ll Own
- Own the full sales cycle from prospecting and qualification through negotiation and close.
- Build relationships with brands, advertisers, agencies, and other key players across the advertising ecosystem.
- Understand each prospect’s goals and pain points, and clearly articulate how SideShift can drive measurable value for their business.
- Build and manage a high-quality pipeline, maintaining strong follow-up and accurate forecasting.
- Partner closely with leadership, product, and customer success to turn customer feedback into better positioning, product decisions, and go-to-market strategy.
- Help build the sales playbook from the ground up, testing messaging, processes, tools, and AI-driven workflows to make the team more effective as we scale.
