• Endemic brand advertisers across entertainment, streaming, gaming, and tech

• Represent the Smart TV business at key industry moments such as CES, Upfronts/NewFronts, and client events

Who You Are

• 10+ years of experience in media, ad tech, CTV, or platform sales

• Significant growth, leadership, and earning upside

In support of pay transparency and equity, the minimum and maximum full-time annual base salary for this role is $140,000 - $165,000 at the time of posting. While this is our reasonable expectation this is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, actual compensation is influenced by a wide range of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, education, certifications, responsibility, and geographic location.
