At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Global Account Director to play a key role in our Revenue Team in New York. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.


Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔

As our Global Account Director you’ll be part of our Global Tech team working with the world’s most recognizable tech and corporate brands. Reporting into the VP of Global Tech Platforms, this role will require you to deeply understand your clients challenges and position GWI’s data & insight as a solution to drive key business initiatives and broader strategies. You will be required to build strong and trusting client relationships identifying new opportunities for expansion and revenue growth..

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.


What do I need to bring with me? 🧳

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

👉 A kind, considerate and collaborative mindset. This team has cultivated an exceptional culture, and we are seeking an individual who will make a positive contribution to it.
👉 Proven experience in an enterprise sales role.
👉
Proven experience within a consumer research or media ad sales role.
👉 Strong understanding of the advertising/media ecosystem.
👉
Strategic thinker with the ability to identify and capitalise on revenue opportunities, drive business growth, and exceed targets.
👉 To demonstrate strong interpersonal and presentation skills and a proven track record of articulating the value of a solution to senior level decision makers.
👉
Willingness to plan and travel to strategic client meetings and events throughout the year (4-6 times a year is typical)
👉
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and trust with clients at all levels.
👉
Strong negotiation skills with the ability to manage large scale contracts across disparate organisations

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.


Interview steps 👟
👉 Preliminary phone call with the Talent Team (no video required)
👉 First video interview with the hiring managers 
👉 Second (and final*) video interview with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.

*Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it’s all part of the plan for some of our roles.

What’s in it for me? 🎁

You’ll do the sort of work that got you excited about your career in the first place - not as a cog in a machine, but as an individual whose contribution matters. So gigantic job satisfaction comes as standard, but it’s only part of the package. You’ll also get:

🌴 Tons of days off: 23 days’ annual leave | End-of-year office closures | Paid sick leave
💸 More than a great salary: Health insurance plans, plus dental and vision options | Short term and long term disability | 401(k) matching scheme via Voya
🧘 Great work-life balance: Flexitime | Early Friday finishes | Work-from-anywhere options
🏡 Family-focused flexibility: Carer days | Enhanced parental leave 
💪 A commitment to YOU: Accredited learning programs | A commitment to mental and physical health | Reward and recognition programs | Career development opportunities
🌎 A commitment to the community: DE&I committee | Volunteer options | 100% donation matching 

Put all that together and GWI is the friendliest, most fulfilling place any of us has ever worked.


Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We take DE&I seriously. Not only is it obviously the right thing to do, it’s also the bedrock of our value of show respect and at the heart of our company culture. 

We’re a global data business, so it’s essential our data reflects the global reality. Putting diversity into practice like this literally makes our business stronger. That’s why we strive to make our offices - and our teams - as diverse as our data. Want to know more? Take a look at our Life page on LinkedIn to learn more about our DE&I initiatives.

The point is, GWI is a place where you can genuinely feel at home, express yourself, and make your mark - whoever you are.

As a Disability Confident employer, we encourage applications from disabled candidates and are dedicated to providing all relevant assistance during the application and interview process.

We also encourage individuals from all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented and marginalized communities, to join our team.


We particularly welcome applications from women and other underrepresented groups in the tech industry. Our company thrives on different perspectives and believes that diversity drives innovation.
