Sales Manager, Emerging Accounts-7 (Samsung Ads)

Position Summary

Samsung has developed a proprietary ad platform that leverages unique first party TV data to help brands connect to their audience as they explore content across desktop, mobile, tablets and our SMART TVs. The Samsung Ad Platform delivers high-quality audience targeting powered by three key components: first-party audience data at scale, world-class data science, and brand-safe cross-device ad inventory.

We are currently looking for a talented account executive focused on growing revenue and building new relationships with assigned agencies and advertisers. Emerging Accounts is Samsung Ads' fastest growing customer category and is inclusive of many national advertisers - some have run in TV for years and others are brand new to the medium. The ideal candidate should have a passion for streaming video, expertise in data driven audience activation, and a pulse on new multi-channel advertising technologies. With the rapid growth of programmatic activation in Connected TV, this seller should be equally comfortable speaking in terms like PG, PMP, and SSP as they are with insertion orders.

This individual must be able to think strategically, anticipate how buying decisions are made, uncover the business needs of key clients and have a proven ability to close deals. Additionally, this sales executive will be the consummate team-player and have the ability to work collaboratively across the sales organization within a fluid and fast-paced environment.

The individual should have a passion for video, advanced TV, and the rapidly changing way consumers are viewing premium content across all screens. It's key to have a pulse on how the media agency community is thinking about and allocating client spend to video channels and what solutions they need to do so more seamlessly. This passion and knowledge will fuel the growth of both your and Samsung Ads' business.

This individual should have existing relationships across both video/digital strategy and investment teams as well as programmatic buying teams at the major agencies and holding companies, including key senior level contacts. This position will carry an annual revenue goal.

This Emerging Accounts Seller position is based in New York with domestic US travel as needed, occasional visits to the product/engineering offices in Montreal, Canada and Mountain View, CA. You will report to our Emerging Accounts Lead. If you're interested in joining a rapidly growing team working to build a unique, world-class advertising sales organization with a relentless focus on data and customer experience, you've come to the right place.

As an individual contributor, you'll be supported by our world class ad operations team and will benefit from working with a leadership team that is chartering our explosive growth.
