Job description

As a Sales Account Executive, you will start every quarter with in-depth research about a relevant topic and current trends within a selected industry. You must identify the most important influencers and experts while securing the best possible distribution channels. When funding your campaign, you must pitch the campaign and the Mediaplanet products to the right clients. To be successful in the sales process, it is paramount that you have a thorough understanding of the client’s needs and that you are able to identify which products in our portfolio will match the expectations and goals for the client’s participation in the campaign. In the last weeks before the launch of the campaign, you will work with our production team to ensure that all content elements are compliant with the goals of the campaign and your client’s expectations.

Our Culture

We are enthusiastic, and we make things happen – now rather than later. We give 110% and then celebrate success at the finish line. Success to us is when you take responsibility, initiative and handle stress like a boss, and you strive towards professional development and happy clients. We love to work hard, but we love to celebrate great results and team spirit just as much. At Mediaplanet we know that life is boring without co‑workers with whom you can share ups and downs. We work to create an environment where teamwork and great social relations are at the top of our agenda. If you work hard and create results, we’ll do our absolute best to help you reach the stars.

What We Expect

We do not expect you to be anyone but yourself, but there are certain skills that we think will help you keep our clients happy. Your ability to handle responsibilities and stress, in addition to the way you operate in an ad‑hoc environment, will contribute to your success here. We are looking for candidates who are driven by the need to be the best and who are willing to work hard to achieve it.

The Following Will Be to Your Advantage

• Experience from a related business
• Experience in sales
• A university degree

Salary

$45,000 base with the opportunity for uncapped commission ($55,000-$65,000 OTE).
