Grow JWTV's share of agency advertising budgets, with a focus on non-entertainment brands across automotive, FMCG, retail, finance and other categories.
Develop agency-specific growth plans, manage your commercial pipeline and deliver against partnership revenue targets.
What We're Looking For
Strong experience in agency partnerships, media sales or CTV and digital video advertising.
An established network of senior agency investment and trading decision-makers.
Proven experience negotiating significant agency-level advertising agreements, ideally including annual Upfront commitments.
