About the Job

At DV8, we’re looking for someone who is confident starting conversations, building relationships and creating current business opportunities. This is not a traditional Account Executive role. While you will support client accounts, contribute to presentations and pitches, and collaborate with our creative, media and strategy teams, a significant part of your role will be focused on business development and outbound sales.

That means making approximately 70–80 outbound calls per day, along with email and LinkedIn outreach, follow-ups and prospect research. You should be comfortable speaking with people you have never met, navigating rejection and staying persistent when the answer is “not right now.”

Cold calling is a core part of this role, not an occasional responsibility. If you are not comfortable making outbound calls consistently every day, this position may not be the right fit.We’re looking for someone who combines the persistence and commercial mindset of a salesperson with the communication, organization and strategic thinking of an Account Executive.
