Full Job Description
POSITION OVERVIEW
This role is ideal for a seller with experience across luxury, automotive, and technology-driven solutions, including digital platforms, data, and marketing infrastructure. This is not a standard sales role; it is a strategic position for a professional who understands the nuances of the Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) market. You will operate through a "branding lens," ensuring that every pitch and partnership aligns with the prestige of our clients. Your primary mission is to secure Agency of Record (AOR) contracts with high-end automotive and lifestyle brands by leveraging inbound/outbound channels and maximizing the powerful ecosystem of the duPont Registry Group.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Lead Generation & Pipeline Management
  • Outbound Strategy: Architect and execute sophisticated outbound strategies to target C-level executives (CMOs, CEOs) at Tier-1 luxury and automotive brands.
  • Inbound Conversion: Manage and qualify inbound leads, acting as the first point of contact and brand ambassador for Gear Digital.
  • The "Branding Lens": Approach sales consultatively. You aren't just selling services; you are selling digital transformation and brand elevation. You must be able to audit a prospect's current positioning and articulate how Gear Digital can elevate their equity.


Strategic Partnerships (Internal & External)
  • The DR Group Ecosystem: Proactively build relationships with publishers and stakeholders within the duPont Registry Group. Identify opportunities to upsell agency services to existing advertising partners of the Registry.
  • Publisher Relations: Collaborate with our media network to create bundled offerings (Media + Agency Services) that provide unique value propositions to prospective clients.


Pitching & Deal Closing
  • Lead the pitch process from discovery to close. Collaborate with our creative and strategy teams to build winning decks that speak the language of luxury.
  • Negotiate Agency of Record (AOR) retainers and project-based contracts that ensure long-term profitability and partnership health.


WHO YOU ARE

  • You have deep familiarity with the luxury landscape. You understand the difference between "premium" and "luxury," and you know what drives decision-making in the automotive and high-end lifestyle sectors.
  • You understand the agency business model. You know how to scope work, understand margin, and sell the value of creative and technical services.
  • You are relentless in pursuit of new business but strategic in your approach. You value building a relationship over a quick transaction.
  • You thrive on networking. You can navigate complex organizations and building rapport with stakeholders within the duPont Registry Group.


REQUIREMENTS

  • Experience: 4+ years of Business Development or Account Strategy experience, preferably within a Digital Agency, Luxury Brand, or Automotive environment.
  • Industry Knowledge: Proven track record of working with or selling to luxury/lifestyle brands. Automotive industry experience is a significant plus.
  • Location: Ability to work full-time from our Miami office or commit to frequent, regular travel to Miami for partner meetings and team collaboration.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive Compensation: A strong base salary paired with an uncapped, performance-based commission structure designed to reward high achievers.
  • Access: Direct access to the duPont Registry Group's legendary network of partners, events, and inventory.
  • Culture: A fast-paced, innovative environment in the heart of Miami, working alongside a team passionate about cars and culture.
