Director of Sales
About Us:
Metric Digital powers marketing for the best, most disruptive direct to consumer brands in the world. We’ve helped companies drive sustainable growth that helped fuel their acquisition, IPO, or next funding round, such as Canada Goose (IPO), Bonobos (Acquired), Hired.com (Series C). Many of our clients are on the IAB 250 list, like JackThreads, Mack Weldon, Hint Water and Nature Box.
We’ve grown from a team of ~5 to a team of ~35 in the last two and a half years, and are looking for leaders to help us continue on our growth trajectory. We also recently published our first book, Badvertising, which uncovers shady practices in the digital marketing industry and helps brand executives avoid them.
The Director of Sales role is for the candidate who is both a salesperson themselves, consistently selling and winning business, as well as someone who is capable of hiring, mentoring, and growing a team of dedicated salespeople. This person needs to be willing to "do" just as much as they're willing to "teach" as this will be our first Sales hire.
