- Drive Recurring Business: Cultivate deep, long-term relationships that turn one-off advertisers into long-term partners.
- Innovate Value: Collaborate directly with 535 News leadership to develop fresh, high-impact sponsorship formats and valuable offerings for our partners.
WHO YOU ARE
- A Relationship Builder: You thrive on networking, understand client pain points, and know how to map their goals to high-value media solutions.
- Full-Cycle Closer: You have a proven track record in B2B sales, media sales, or public affairs advocacy.
- D.C. Savvy: You understand how policy, trade associations, corporate affairs, and media interact in the public policy and advocacy community.
- Entrepreneurial & Fast-Paced: You are excited by the energy of a fast-growing, agile media organization and want to leave your fingerprint on our growth story.
