The Opportunity

We're early and brand partnerships is the most important focus at the company. If you're not comfortable with ambiguity, hunting down opportunities and building from scratch in a competitive environment, this won't be the right role for you. If you're looking to inherit a book of business and be more of an Account Manager, this won't be the right role for you.

Your Mission: grow revenue by making the marketplace aware of Low Battery and building strong relationships with brand partners.

  • Pitching. You'll be required to quickly get up to speed on our network positioning, pitch messaging and conveying value propositions to be able to lead sales calls on your own and drive revenue.
  • Post-sales: close a deal? You'll own invoicing, client communications and collaborating across departments to oversee campaign execution, delivery and performance reporting.
  • Reporting: we can't manage what we don't measure. You'll leverage spreadsheets and/or a CRM to track prospecting, meeting notes, pipeline & deal flow, etc.
  • Content & Product: you'll work closely with our product (content) teams to respond to RFPs and put together pitches. You'll also be on the front lines communicating our network & advertising products to the marketplace.
