A global digital media and programmatic business is hiring a Senior Account Executive in New York as part of continued growth across the US market.
This company partners with brands and agencies to solve complex marketing challenges using advanced data, analytics, and programmatic media solutions. With strong global momentum and a collaborative sales culture, they are looking for a senior seller who can own relationships and deliver consistent revenue growth.

- Partner closely with trading, account management, and internal teams
- Communicate clearly and persuasively with senior external stakeholders
- Contribute ideas to improve how the sales team operates and scales
This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, strategic selling, and being treated as an independent business owner.
Who We're Looking For
- 3+ years' experience in digital or programmatic media sales
- Strong understanding of agency and brand-side media environments
- Proven ability to build long-term client relationships
- Strategic thinker who can sell solutions, not just inventory
- Highly motivated, proactive, and collaborative
- Comfortable in fast-paced, evolving environments
What's On Offer
- Competitive base salary with uncapped commission
- Full medical, dental, and vision benefits
- Generous PTO plus paid holidays
- Paid parental leave and wellbeing support
