• Consistently exceed revenue goals through consultative selling, complex negotiations, accurate forecasting via CRM, and driving quarter-over-quarter growth through new logo wins and account expansion.
• Lead business reviews and strategic planning sessions with clients, assess business objectives and challenges to formulate integrated solutions across Samba TV's product suite, and craft compelling, data‑driven presentations that demonstrate deep industry knowledge.
• Serve as an industry expert and thought leader within your assigned vertical(s), evangelizing Samba TV's value proposition through client communications, events, and webinars while actively contributing market intelligence and competitive insights.
• Navigate complex, multi‑stakeholder sales cycles across marketing, media, insights, and data teams, fostering relationships across all key functions to establish annual partnerships and long‑term collaborative growth.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Data & Measurement Science, Account Management, and Marketing teams to deliver client success, develop case studies and performance metrics, and provide client feedback to inform product development and innovation.

• 10+ years of data, advertising technology, or programmatic sales experience selling directly to brands, with a proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding revenue targets and closing complex, multi‑stakeholder solutions.
• Demonstrated success in selling to Tier 1 brands and managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through negotiation and close, with extensive contacts at top brands and agencies (preferred).
• Strong understanding of the digital advertising ecosystem including display, video, mobile, CTV, and programmatic platforms, plus knowledge of measurement, attribution, and data analytics landscapes.
• Deep knowledge of client planning processes and marketing planning cycles, with an understanding of privacy regulations and their impact on advertising and measurement.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills across all organizational levels with a consultative selling approach and talent for building value‑based partnerships.
• Strategic thinker who can identify business objectives and translate them into solutions, highly driven self‑starter with obsessive focus on personal development and strong analytical problem‑solving abilities.
