National Account Executive Podcast

Overview

Salem Podcast Network, a division of Salem Media Group, is seeking a high-energy, results-driven Senior Podcast Sales Executive to drive new business and grow revenue across our national podcast network. Salem Podcast Network is the fastest-growing podcast network in the conservative and faith-based space, home to some of the most influential voices in media today.

• We’re seeking a senior sales professional with deep national media relationships who can monetize premium podcast inventory through host endorsements, dynamic ad insertion (DAI), branded content, and sponsorship integrations.
• This is a sales role focused on opening doors, closing business, and building long-term advertiser partnerships.
• Ideal background: national audio sales, podcast advertising, digital media, or network/agency sales at a major media company.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do

• Develop new revenue by prospecting and opening doors with national brands, agencies, DTC companies, and organizations aligned with Salem’s audience.
• Sell premium podcast inventory (host endorsements and DAI) while building integrated campaigns across Salem’s broader One World platform: radio, Salem News Channel, Townhall Media, Influencer Network, Cultivate, and Salem’s owned and operated digital properties.
• Bring your existing client and agency relationships to the table and convert them into revenue.
• Navigate Salem’s host endorsement process, including category exclusivity and talent approval requirements.
• Develop insight-led, prescriptive proposals that translate audience engagement and performance data into measurable results for advertisers.
• Exceed revenue targets each month and maintain a healthy, accurate pipeline.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• 7 years in national audio, podcast, digital media, or network/agency sales with a proven track record of closing new business and exceeding revenue targets.
• Established national advertiser and/or agency relationships with the ability to open doors quickly.
• Deep understanding of podcast ad formats: host endorsements, DAI, branded content, sponsorship integrations, and performance-driven campaigns.
• Strategic, consultative seller who builds integrated campaigns (not just sells inventory) and thrives in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment.
• Exceptional presentation skills with the ability to make complex media strategies feel simple and compelling.
• CRM proficiency and disciplined pipeline management.

Who Will Thrive Here

• Hunters who love getting in front of the right person and building something.
• Sellers who understand audiences, trust, and the power of host credibility in driving advertiser results.
• Professionals who can convert influence into revenue.
• Individuals who can quickly identify and open meaningful conversations with key decision-makers.
• People who align with conservative and/or Christian values. You don’t just sell this product... you believe in it.
