  • Responsible for driving new and growing existing revenue through long term contracts and contract negotiation
  • Cultivate relationships with clients, gain deep insight into their business, and ultimately provide solutions to their marketing and advertising goals
  • Expand Viant’s footprint across the territory and within key accounts by cross-selling and up-selling product portfolio
  • Provide feedback to the company on how to best service clients' needs

GREAT TO HAVE

  • At least 4-6 years of programmatic/ad tech sales experience with agencies and/or advertisers in the area
  • Strong understanding and enthusiasm about the latest in digital media, ad tech, data targeting, 1st party data, platform sales, programmatic, behavioral targeting and optimization strategies

  • Smart, articulate, polished, self-driven, highly motivated team player with excellent problem solving skills, as well as superb organizational, written, and verbal communication skills

  • Demonstrated proficiency in demo-premised and solution-premised selling
  • Bachelor’s degree required
