You will also use modern sales technology and AI tools to improve the quality, personalization, and efficiency of your work.

This opportunity is designed for an ambitious, intellectually curious professional who wants to build a strong foundation in digital media and ad tech sales, and develop toward becoming an Client Partner or sales leader in advertising.

• Qualify inbound & outbound prospects through consultative conversations that uncover marketing goals, media budgets, target audience needs, timing, and potential campaign value.
• Lead high-level conversations with marketing leaders and clearly communicate the unique value of Uber Advertising’s first-party data, audience reach, and multi-surface ad formats.
• Deliver a consistent volume of Sales Qualified Leads that convert into advertising pipeline and revenue opportunities.
• Partner with Client Partners to develop account plans, refine campaign messaging, and execute targeted sales strategies for top-tier brand and agency prospects.
• Use AI and sales technology to accelerate research, personalize outreach, analyze campaign performance metrics, and improve sales workflows.
• Track key performance indicators and maintain accurate account, contact, and activity data in Salesforce and other sales platforms.
• Share market trends, agency insights, and advertiser feedback with Sales and Marketing to improve targeting, messaging, processes, and the overall prospect experience.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly.
• Strong listening, organizational, and time-management skills.
• Comfort working with technology, data, performance metrics, and evolving sales processes.
• Self-starter mentality, resilience, coachability, and a strong sense of ownership and urgency.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience or demonstrated interest in digital advertising, media sales, ad tech, retail media networks (RMN), or agency partnerships.
• Demonstrated success with cold calling, personalized email campaigns, LinkedIn, or other outbound channels.
• Experience engaging senior marketing leaders, brand managers, or navigating agency structures and buying committees.
