Job description

Clients Blackbox is a specialized Meta advertising agency that works exclusively with Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and independent financial advisory firms. We build and manage Facebook advertising funnels that generate qualified, booked appointments for our clients. We serve one vertical and we do it at a level no generalist agency can match.

You will own both sales and marketing for the company. This is a hands on, individual contributor role where you run our sales process from first conversation to signed contract while also building and executing our internal marketing strategy.

On the sales side, you will take all introductory and discovery calls with inbound prospects, run strategy and pitch presentations, manage the full pipeline from first touch to close, handle objections, follow ups, proposals, and contract negotiations, and build and maintain a sales playbook, objection library, and follow up sequences.

On the marketing side, you will own and operate our internal Meta advertising campaigns, develop and execute our broader marketing strategy including content, brand positioning, and demand generation, elevate the company brand to attract larger and more established clients, and create or direct the creation of marketing assets such as ads, landing pages, case studies, and social content. You will think holistically about brand and understand how advertising fits within a larger growth strategy.

This role has a clear trajectory toward leading a sales and marketing function. As the company grows and you demonstrate results, there is an opportunity to build a team underneath you and evolve the role into a broader leadership position.

Compensation: $85,000 base salary plus performance based commission on closed business, paid quarterly. OTE is approximately $150,000 per year. Commission structure details will be shared with qualified candidates during the interview process.

Clients Blackbox is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
