Our Account Directors are enthusiastic, self-starters who drive revenue while expanding their client bases; they are hunters who are focused on new business as opposed to farmers.

  • Generate a high volume of sales related activity including cold calls, meeting, presentations, proposals, and more. Must consistently meet or exceed revenue quota assignment
  • Responsible for driving new and growing existing revenue through long term contracts and contract negotiation
  • Cultivate relationships with clients, gain deep insight into their business, and ultimately provide solutions to their marketing and advertising goals
  • Expand Viant’s footprint across the territory and within key accounts by cross-selling and up-selling product portfolio
  • Provide feedback to the company on how to best service clients' needs

GREAT TO HAVE

  • 6-8 years programmatic/ad tech sales experience
  • Existing experience supporting independent agencies a plus
  • Strong understanding and enthusiasm about the latest in digital media, ad tech, data targeting, 1st party data, platform sales, programmatic, behavioral targeting and optimization strategies
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced work environment, while being able to quickly gain product efficiency across our broad set of offerings
  • Smart, articulate, polished, self-driven, highly motivated team player with excellent problem solving skills, as well as superb organizational, written, and verbal communication skills
  • A consultative, strategic thinker with great energy and enthusiasm for prospecting for new business and excellent closing skills
  • Demonstrated proficiency in demo-premised and solution-premised selling
  • Bachelor’s degree required

Investing in our employee’s professional growth is important to us, but so is investing in their well-being. That’s why Viant was voted one of the best places to work and some of our favorite employee benefits include fully paid health insurance, paid parental leave and unlimited PTO and more. 

Base compensation range: $140,000 - $150,000
