Position Summary

Role and Responsibilities

Samsung has developed a proprietary ad platform that leverages unique first party TV data to help brands connect to their audience as they explore content across desktop, mobile, tablets and our SMART TVs. Additionally, Samsung TV Plus is one of the largest and most quickly growing free, ad-supported TV (FAST) services in the US. The Samsung Ad Platform delivers high-quality audience targeting powered by three key components: a highly engaged streaming video viewer, first-party audience data at scale, and world-class data science.

We are currently looking for a talented account executive focused on growing revenue and building new relationships with performance driven agencies and advertisers. Performance Sales is one of Samsung Ads’ fastest growing customer categories and is inclusive of many national and regional advertisers – some have run in TV for years and others are brand new to the medium. The ideal candidate should have a passion for streaming video, expertise in data driven audience activation, comprehensive understanding of measurement solutions and a pulse on new multi-channel advertising technologies. With the rapid growth of programmatic activation in Connected TV, this seller should be equally comfortable speaking in terms like PG, PMP, and SSP as they are with insertion orders. This individual must be able to think strategically, anticipate how buying decisions are made, uncover the business needs of key clients and have a proven ability to close deals. Additionally, this sales executive will be the consummate team-player and have the ability to work collaboratively across the sales organization within a fluid and fast-paced environment.

The individual should have a passion for video, advanced TV, mobile and the rapidly changing way consumers are viewing premium content across all screens. It’s key to have a pulse on how the performance and direct response community is thinking about and allocating spend to video channels and what solutions they need to do so more seamlessly. This passion and knowledge will fuel the growth of both your and Samsung Ads’ business.

This individual should have existing relationships across performance, direct response, and direct-to-consumer teams including key senior level contacts at agencies and brands. This account executive must be able to think strategically, anticipate how buying decisions are made, uncover the business needs of key clients, and have a proven ability to drive spend through Programmatic Guaranteed (PG), Private Marketplace (PMP), and Insertion Order (IO) buy types. This position will carry an annual revenue goal.
