• A strong record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets in a full-cycle sales role.
• Experience selling creative agency, marketing, digital, media, content, or service-based solutions.
• Strong prospecting, relationship-building, presentation, and negotiation skills.
• Experience managing multi-stakeholder sales processes and long sales cycles.
• A highly organized, self-directed approach and comfort working in a remote-first environment.

Preferred Background:
