About the Role

We're looking for a sharp, driven Account Executive to help shape the future of our Media Sales team. This isn't your average ad sales role — you'll be selling across a rich, multi-platform portfolio that spans print, digital, newsletters, live events, and podcasts, backed by some of the most trusted media brands in the country.

You'll bring the energy, the relationships, and the creative instincts to open doors and close deals. We'll bring the brands, the tools, and the runway for you to grow. Reporting to the VP, Client Solutions, you'll be a driving force behind new revenue and long-term client partnerships.

What You'll Own

- Build the pipeline. Hunt down and close new business opportunities across a diverse client base.
- Think strategically. Craft and execute sales plans designed to hit — and exceed — annual revenue goals.
- Own the relationship.



Get to know your clients' businesses inside and out, and become their go-to strategic partner.
- Bring the pitch to life. Build and deliver sales presentations that showcase the full power of SJC's media ecosystem.
- Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with branded content, audience, project management, and ad ops teams to turn great pitches into flawless campaigns.

What You Bring

- A degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field
- 5 years of media sales experience, with a track record of hitting (and beating) targets
- Comfort working with AI tools and agents as part of your everyday sales workflow — this is a must
- Bonus points for experience selling programmatic (direct, PMP, etc.)
- Fluency in CRM platforms and sales forecasting tools
- Sharp communication and negotiation skills, and the confidence to use them
