Help Las Vegas Businesses Grow

Are you connected in Las Vegas, New Mexico? Do you know the business owners, the decision-makers, the pulse of the community?

The Las Vegas Optic is looking for a driven, community-focused Advertising Account Executive who wants more than just a job - someone ready to build a career, grow income, and become a trusted voice for local businesses.

This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who:

• Knows the community (or wants to be deeply involved in it)
• Is competitive, motivated, and hungry to grow
• Wants to build relationships that turn into long-term revenue

Whether you have media sales experience, general sales experience, or you're a recent college grad ready to prove yourself, you'll give you the platform and support to win.

What You'll Be Selling

You'll represent the most trusted local media brand in the area, offering businesses real solutions that drive results:

• The Optic print newspaper (a staple in the community)
• A local news website reaching 300K+ monthly page views
• Email newsletters and social media exposure
• Digital marketing solutions:
  • Google Ads
  • Facebook & Instagram (Meta)
  • YouTube
  • SEO + targeted campaigns

You're not just selling ads - you're helping local businesses grow.

What You'll Do

• Build relationships with local business owners and decision-makers
• Prospect new business and grow your own territory
• Create marketing strategies that actually help clients succeed
• Sell across print + digital platforms
• Develop long-term partnerships that generate recurring revenue
• Become a recognized connector in the Las Vegas business community

Who You Are

• Connected to Las Vegas, NM (or eager to get deeply involved fast)
• Competitive, self-motivated, and goal-oriented
• Strong communicator - confident in person, on the phone, and via email
• Sales experience preferred (media sales is a plus, but not required)
• Open to learning - we will train the right person
• A recent grad with a degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field is encouraged to apply

What You'll Get

• Base salary + uncapped commission (your income is in your control)
• Full benefits: health, 401(k), PTO
• A flexible work environment, with hybrid arrangements considered for the right candidate
• Hands-on training, mentorship, and proven sales systems
• A full suite of products to sell - not just one solution
• Real career growth in a fast-growing media company
• The opportunity to become a key player in your local business community

Why This Role Matters

The Las Vegas Optic isn't just a newspaper - it's a cornerstone of the community. You'll be helping local businesses stay visible, competitive, and successful in a changing world.

Backed by O'Rourke Media Group, you'll have the tools of a full-service agency with the trust of a hometown brand.
