Position Overview:

We are experiencing unprecedented growth and looking to hire an Account Executive (Creative and Licensing Specialist). This is not your ordinary sales job.

This may be the most difficult sales role you have ever experienced, but for the right reasons! Instead of finding the champion on the buyer’s side, you need to be the champion with them to be able to sell our platform to their internal teams, including legal and finance, to bring their creative work and growth initiatives to life. You are a key part of helping them launch their projects, campaigns and commercials.
