About the Role

We are looking for a highly successful, entrepreneurial seller to join our East Strategic Sales Team in NYC. This senior individual contributor will own and grow a strategic portfolio of Independent Agency and Brand Direct partnerships while driving significant net new business across the region.

You'll create opportunities where others may not see them -- building executive relationships, shaping media strategy, and helping agencies and brands unlock growth through Nexxen's unified advertising platform, powered by our DSP, SSP, proprietary data, AI-driven capabilities, and advanced measurement.

We'd Love to Talk if You...

Are a trusted advisor with an established network across independent agencies and senior advertising decision-makers

Have deep expertise in programmatic advertising, CTV, digital media, and the evolving ad tech landscape -- and enjoy helping clients navigate what's next

Create demand rather than waiting for RFPs, proactively building opportunities from the ground up

Build strategic partnerships that extend well beyond campaigns, PMPs, and transactional media buys

Thrive in fast-moving environments where ownership, initiative, curiosity, and commercial thinking are expected

What You’ll Do

Own and grow a strategic portfolio of Independent Agency and Brand Direct relationships by driving new business, expanding partnerships, and identifying whitespace opportunities

Prospect, develop, and close new business opportunities across the East region (NY, NJ, PA, CT, VA, MD, DE, DC)

Build executive-level relationships with agency and brand leaders, positioning Nexxen as a long-term strategic partner -- not simply another media vendor

Sell across Nexxen's full portfolio of solutions, including Managed Service, PMPs, Hybrid and Self-Serve DSP, CTV, OLV, Display, Native, audience targeting, identity, data, measurement, and AI-powered capabilities

Develop strategic growth plans that leverage market trends, audience insights, and Nexxen's platform to uncover new opportunities and expand relationships

Stay ahead of emerging trends -- including AI, identity, CTV, and programmatic innovation -- and translate them into strategic client conversations

Lead complex sales cycles from prospecting through negotiation, close, and long-term partnership growth

Consistently exceed revenue goals while maintaining disciplined pipeline management and accurate forecasting

Partner cross-functionally with Product, Client Success, Operations, Marketing, Solutions Engineering, and Executive Leadership to deliver exceptional client outcomes

Represent Nexxen as a thought leader at industry events, executive meetings, and within the independent agency community

Serve as a mentor and leader to the broader Sales organization by sharing best practices, market intelligence, and successful selling strategies

What You’ll Bring

10+ years of success selling digital advertising, programmatic media, CTV, or ad tech solutions

Demonstrated track record of exceeding revenue goals through new logo acquisition, strategic account growth, and proactive business development

Deep understanding of the programmatic ecosystem, including CTV, OLV, Display, PMPs, Managed Service, DSPs, SSPs, audience targeting, identity, data, and measurement

Established network within the agency ecosystem, with the credibility to build executive-level partnerships -- Brand Direct experience is a plus

Strong commercial acumen with experience navigating complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and translating client challenges into strategic business solutions

Executive presence with exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills

Entrepreneurial mindset with a high degree of ownership, accountability, resilience, and intellectual curiosity

Ability to operate independently, navigate ambiguity, and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment
