The Role: As a Digital & Advertising Sponsorship Executive, you’ll play a key role in connecting leading B2B brands with our highly engaged professional communities through impactful digital B2B demand generation, data, media services, online display advertising and influencer campaigns.

You’ll join a fast-paced, supportive team with strong growth potential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive Digital Growth: Own and grow your pipeline across digital sponsorship and advertising channels (including website placements, newsletter sponsorships, influencer programs & campaigns, and lead-gen content like webinars and white papers). Prospect, pitch, and close deals across both net-new and existing accounts.
• Advertisement Focus: Package and sell advertising opportunities across our high-traffic websites, membership platforms, and digital communities, leveraging organic engagement and deep audience trust.
• Revenue Performance: Consistently meet and exceed sales targets by maintaining strong pipeline discipline, accurate forecasting, and a results-driven mindset.
