Account Executive/Sales Director - Sales - East Coast

Hybrid NYC (T/W/Th) | ~$125-$185K Base / $250-$370k OTE

Our client is an established leader in contextual native advertising, connecting invite-only premium publishers with the brands that want to reach engaged, high-intent professional audiences

Their platform delivers native, video, display, and audio advertising across an exclusive network of leading publishers, in premium environments that advertisers cannot access at scale through generic networks or open exchanges. Built for a privacy-first era.

With a global footprint and a lean, high-performance team, they combine the rigor of a publicly traded business with the speed and culture of a focused start-up. Significant investments in AI-driven media technology and new ad experiences have positioned them for a meaningful next phase of US growth and scaling the East Coast team is where that next phase begins
