The summary above was generated by AI

Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. As an Account Executive focused on agencies, you’ll own the sales cycle with creative, media, and digital agencies that help the world’s biggest brands shape their use of AI. You’ll play a key role in expanding Profound’s agency partnerships — helping agencies manage, measure, and govern how AI shows up across their client work, operations, and campaigns.

What You’ll Do
  • Own the full agency sales cycle — from targeted prospecting through negotiation and close, across creative, media, and brand network agencies.

  • Develop and execute strategic outreach and relationship-building with agency leaders, innovation teams, and holding company partners.

  • Build and nurture long-term partnerships that position Profound as an essential part of agencies’ AI and brand safety strategies.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Partnerships, and Product to refine positioning, identify key use cases, and scale adoption across networks.

  • Help build our agency sales team — shaping our go-to-market motion, playbooks, and partnership approach as we expand.

Who You Are
  • A proven SaaS closer with experience selling into agencies, holding companies, or adjacent partner ecosystems (creative, marketing, or technology).

  • Deeply familiar with the agency landscape — you understand how they buy, how they partner, and how to help them drive value for brand clients.

  • Skilled in consultative sales, able to connect emerging technology to real business impact across creative, media, and client success functions.

  • Entrepreneurial and relationship-driven — energized by expanding a growing GTM motion and building trusted partnerships in a dynamic space.

  • Strategic, resilient, and motivated by the opportunity to represent a category-defining product at the intersection of AI, brand safety, and innovation.

Location

This is an on-site role based in our Union Square office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.

For this role, the expected base salary range is $110,000 – $150,000 before commission.

Final compensation will depend on factors such as your skills, experience, qualifications, and location, and will be determined during the interview process. Our recruiting team will share more details about the full compensation package and benefits as you move through hiring.
