Job description

Profound is the marketing platform for the AI era. As people increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to decide what to buy, we give brands the intelligence to see how AI represents them and the Agents to act on it. Today, ~13% of the Fortune 500, plus companies like Ramp, Figma, Chime, Calendly, and DocuSign, use Profound to turn AI Search from a black box into a measurable growth channel.

Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures at a $1B valuation, we're a lean, fast-moving team across NYC, SF, Buenos Aires, and London, shipping at a relentless pace and defining a new category at the biggest shift in marketing in 25 years. If you want to do the best work of your career at the frontier of AI, come build it with us.

As an Account Executive focused on agencies, you will own the sales cycle with creative, media, and digital agencies that help the world’s biggest brands shape their use of AI. You will play a key role in expanding Profound’s agency partnerships, helping agencies manage, measure, and govern how AI shows up across their client work, operations, and campaigns.

What you’ll do

• Own the full agency sales cycle, from targeted prospecting through negotiation and close, across creative, media, and brand network agencies
• Develop and execute strategic outreach and relationship-building with agency leaders, innovation teams, and holding company partners
• Build and nurture long‑term partnerships that position Profound as an essential part of agencies’ AI and brand safety strategies
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Partnerships, and Product to refine positioning, identify key use cases, and scale adoption across networks
• Help build our agency sales team, shaping our go-to-market motion, playbooks, and partnership approach as we expand

Who you are

• A proven SaaS closer with experience selling into agencies, holding companies, or adjacent partner ecosystems such as creative, marketing, or technology
• Deeply familiar with the agency landscape and how agencies buy, partner, and drive value for brand clients
• Skilled in consultative sales and able to connect emerging technology to real business impact across creative, media, and client success functions
• Entrepreneurial and relationship-driven, energized by expanding a growing go-to-market motion and building trusted partnerships in a dynamic space
• Strategic, resilient, and motivated by the opportunity to represent a category-defining product at the intersection of AI, brand safety, and innovation

Location

This is an on-site role based in our NYC, SF, or London office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.
