Hi, we’re TechnologyAdvice.

At TechnologyAdvice, we pride ourselves on helping B2B tech buyers manage the complexity and risk of the buying process. We are a trusted source of information for tech buyers, delivering advice and facilitating connections between our buyers and the world’s leading sellers of business technology. 

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, we are a remote-first company with more than 20 digital publications and over 500 global team members in the US, UK, Singapore, Australia, and the Philippines. We’re proud to have been repeatedly recognized as one of America’s fastest growing private companies by Inc., as well as a Tennessee top workplace. We work hard each day and have fun, too, with monthly virtual events, recreational slack channels, and the occasional costumed dance from our CEO.

All positions are open to remote work unless otherwise specified in the requirements below. 


The opportunity

We’re seeking a Director of Media Sales to own and scale two of our most critical revenue channels:

  • Newsletter and media sponsorship sales
  • Strategic partnerships across affiliate, brand-to-demand, and PPC programs

This is a hybrid leadership role that combines the strategic vision and execution of a senior sales leader with the operational discipline of a partnerships executive. You’ll design and lead revenue strategies, manage multi-level teams, and directly own relationships with top advertisers, affiliates, and partners. This is a high-impact, growth-oriented role with visibility to the C-suite.

Location: United States


What you'll do

Leadership & Team Management

  • Recruit, coach, and lead a multi-level team across sponsorship sales and partnerships (Managers, AEs, SDRs, Specialists, Coordinators).
  • Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Set clear KPIs, quotas, and development plans for individuals and teams.
  • Represent the organization with Revenue leadership, delivering accurate forecasts and strategic insights.

Sales & Partnerships Execution

  • Own strategy and revenue growth across newsletters, sponsorships, affiliates, brand-to-demand, and PPC partnerships.
  • Manage a portfolio of high-value media clients and affiliate partners, negotiating seven-figure, multi-channel deals.
  • Develop and evolve go-to-market packages that bundle newsletter inventory with TA’s media suite (events, podcasts, display, lead gen, content).
  • Prospect, pitch, and onboard new partners that align with TA’s monetization strategy and editorial priorities.

Revenue Strategy & Growth

  • Deliver against quarterly and annual revenue targets across both media and partnership channels.
  • Set the long-term commercial vision: forecasting, segmentation, comp modeling, and reporting to the C-suite.
  • Identify and test new monetization opportunities across newsletters, paid media, and emerging channels.
  • Manage yield, pricing strategy, and discount guardrails to maximize ROI.

Operations & Process Excellence

  • Enforce disciplined pipeline management, using MEDDPICC (or similar) for qualification and precise forecasting.
  • Oversee Salesforce pipeline accuracy, billing cycles, and accounts receivables for partner portfolios.
  • Standardize team processes for campaign execution, reporting, and partner management.
  • Partner with Product, Editorial, Marketing, and Rev Ops to ensure operational alignment and innovation.

Market Evangelism

  • Act as an executive-level negotiator and market-facing leader.
  • Share insights, competitive intelligence, and thought leadership internally and externally.
  • Protect TA’s brand integrity and audience trust while pushing for growth and innovation.
Who you are
  • 5+ years in digital media, ad-tech, or affiliate/partnerships revenue roles, with 4+ years leading quota-carrying managers/sellers.
  • Proven success scaling sales teams and partnership programs from early traction to $5M+ in revenue.
  • Strong “player-coach”: able to directly close deals and manage executive relationships while leading teams.
  • Skilled negotiator, able to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
  • Proficient in Salesforce, Tableau, and affiliate platforms.
  • Strategic, data-driven, and comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration.
  • Agile professional who excels in a fast-paced environment and thrives on continuously pivoting strategies to drive business needs forward
What we offer you

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
