What We’re Looking For

  • A creative, proactive problem solver who thrives on helping clients succeed.
  • A persuasive storyteller who can connect business challenges to tailored media solutions.
  • A self-starter with strong time management and follow-through skills.
  • A confident communicator—written, verbal, and in client-facing presentations.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in marketing, Business, Communications or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Proven success in media, marketing, or B2B sales.
  • Knowledge of digital advertising platforms (e.g., OTT, programmatic, SEO/SEM, etc.).
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office; CRM experience (e.g., Salesforce) is a plus.
  • Valid CA driver’s license and reliable transportation.

Why FOX40?

  • We're part of Nexstar Media Group, the nation’s largest local media company.
