• Own and grow a pipeline of target brands, moving prospects from first contact to active customers.
• Network strategically to find new brand leads through events, LinkedIn, warm introductions, cold outreach, and other channels.

• Build strong relationships with brand marketing and growth teams to understand their needs and position Noise as a solution.
• Track outreach, follow-ups, pipeline health, and deal status closely to keep opportunities moving.
• Identify ways to improve outreach strategies, sales processes, and conversion rates.
• Partner with Content and Creator teams to make sure new brands ramp up successfully.

• Comfortable independently managing a pipeline and taking ownership of opportunities from prospecting through close.
• A confident communicator who can build relationships, pitch value, and navigate objections.
• Highly organized, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple active opportunities.
• A proactive problem-solver who uses sound judgment and moves quickly without needing constant direction.
• Motivated by results and comfortable adjusting your approach based on what is working.
• Excited about marketing, the creator economy, and social media.
• Comfortable using or learning technical tools.
• Excited to come into the office five days a week and work alongside the team.
• Based in St. Louis, MO (required!).
• Experience selling to brand marketing, growth, or advertising teams.
• Familiarity with the creator economy, influencer marketing, digital advertising, or social media.
• Experience using a CRM or other sales tools to manage pipelines and track performance.
• A track record of generating new business, meeting sales targets, or improving conversion rates.
• Evidence of scrappiness, hustle, or self-starter energy.
• Competitive salary based on experience and impact.

• Flexible PTO policy.

Why Join Noise:

• Join a fast-growing company at an exciting stage.
• Take ownership of work that directly contributes to revenue and company growth.
• Work directly with the brands, creators, and content shaping the internet and culture.
