Regional Sales Director, Behavioral Targeting/Media Buying Platform  Role: Regional Sales Director, Midwest (1836)
Client: Successful Start-up in Behavioral Targeting and Media Buying space
Location: Chicago, IL
Type: Direct Hire
Overview:
One of our newest clients is an award-winning powerhouse start-up with an entirely new approach to behavioral targeting and media buying, and they’ve come to The Hired Guns to find them a Chicago-based Midwest Regional Sales Director. This company is already highly successful, run by seasoned online advertising veterans and financially backed by a who’s-who of prestigious venture capitalists. They’ve just closed another round of nearly $6 million in funding to finance huge anticipated growth. Want to be a part of that future?
Gun Profile:
The ideal candidate is an assertive, well-connected industry insider with experience selling online branded campaigns to A-list interactive agencies, preferably in the Midwest regional market. Not only do you have tight relationships with media buyers, you also have senior-level contacts at the top digital shops. When they hear you’ve got something new and amazing to show them in the realm of behavioral marketing, they will gladly give you the opportunity to pitch them, because they already know you and trust your judgment.
You have at least 5 years of experience in a mid- to senior-level role selling online behavioral products or related online technology solutions. You have current senior-level contacts at all the key interactive agencies in the Midwest and can hit the ground running, setting up meetings with key players upon arrival. You have management experience overseeing other sales managers while also being a stellar individual contributor.
Nitty Gritty:
This position reports to the EVP of Sales, a well-respected and experienced executive with a long track record in the industry. You will be charged with building the Midwest region: hunting for prospects, qualifying leads and filling your pipeline with meetings with media buying agencies. As Regional Director, you will be individually responsible for hitting aggressive numbers, then building and managing your Midwest regional sales team.
Inside Skinny:
Opportunities to grow a business and build your own team are few and far between, especially at a company like this one that’s still in entrepreneurial start-up mode, but well-established and on a very fast growth track. If you get in now, you will make an enormous impact – not just to their bottom line, but to your own.
