Full Job Description
Overview

At Cadent, you won’t sell a single product — you’ll sell a platform. Linear TV, Converged TV, AI-powered programmatic, YouTube contextual — all under one roof. As a Sales Director covering New York City Metro Area, you’ll use that full toolkit to build media strategies that independent agencies and brands can’t get from a one-trick DSP.

Responsibilities
  • Own and grow a significant book of business across independent agency and brand-direct channels, spanning Tier I–III accounts (Crossmedia, BarkleyOKRP, Lughthouse, Brunner, etc.)
  • Prospect, pitch, and close new logos while expanding revenue within existing accounts through cross-sell and upsell across all three product lines.
  • Build and maintain executive-level relationships at agencies and brands—you’re the strategic advisor, not just the seller.
  • Lead consultative discovery to align Cadent’s converged TV, programmatic, and YouTube capabilities to client business outcomes.
  • Negotiate contracts, manage pipeline in Salesforce, and deliver accurate revenue forecasts.
  • Collaborate with Client Services, Product, and leadership to drive client satisfaction and renewals.
Qualifications
  • 2+ years selling digital media or AdTech solutions (programmatic, CTV, linear TV, or YouTube)—managed service and self-service experience strongly preferred.
  • Established relationships with agencies and/or brands in the NYC metro market—you have a network you can activate on day one.
  • Track record of consistently hitting or exceeding quota in a hunter/farmer hybrid role.
  • Fluency in the converged TV and programmatic landscape—you can speak to identity, measurement, audience strategy, and brand safety without a cheat sheet.
  • Polished communicator and presenter—comfortable in a room with CMOs and VPs of Media alike.
  • Self-starter who thrives with autonomy, territory ownership, and minimal hand-holding.

Eligibility:

  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship now or in the future.
