About the Role:We are a rapidly growing digital ad sales team looking for a senior individual contributor to lead sales enablement and creative strategy for our most ambitious advertiser partnerships. You will own the design of integrated programs from scratch while also stepping back to build the scalable systems, playbooks, and processes that raise the bar for the whole sales organization.

- Act as a strategic advisor to Sales leadership: proactively identifying opportunities to improve win rates, deal efficiency, and partnership quality, and presenting recommendations with a clear view of the bigger picture.
- Serve as the subject-matter expert on Quizlet Ads offerings, digital advertising trends, and competitive positioning.
What you bring to the table:- 7+ years of experience in sales enablement, creative strategy, integrated marketing, digital advertising, partnerships, or agency/publisher environments.
- A track record of inventing and scaling custom, multi-platform partnership programs.
- Demonstrated ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional projects independently from end to end, including projects with no existing internal playbook.
- Strong strategic and conceptual thinking, with the ability to connect advertiser goals, audience insights, and creative execution into a single, ownable narrative.
- Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the executive presence to influence senior Sales, Account Management, and cross-functional leadership.
- Experience building scalable systems that improve effectiveness across a broader team.
