AccuWeather is seeking a high-performing, strategic Senior Account Executive to lead sales for ImmersiCast™, our revolutionary next-generation weather presentation platform transforming broadcast television through immersive augmented reality. This is not another weather graphics system. ImmersiCast™ is redefining how television stations communicate weather by combining cinematic augmented reality, advanced visualization, and real-time meteorological intelligence into one groundbreaking platform built specifically for live television. Powered by Unreal Engine and AccuWeather's industry-leading weather data, ImmersiCast™ enables broadcasters to create unforgettable, immersive weather storytelling experiences that dramatically elevate viewer engagement.

The ideal candidate is an experienced media technology sales leader with a proven track record selling enterprise broadcast solutions, developing strategic relationships with television station groups, and introducing innovative technology to the market.

  • Flexible deployment as a standalone system or enhancement to existing weather platforms

With ImmersiCast™, meteorologists can step inside storms, interact with weather elements in three-dimensional space, and guide viewers through forecasts in ways traditional presentations simply cannot match.

From hurricanes and tornadoes to lightning, flooding, and severe weather events, ImmersiCast™ makes complex weather easier to understand, more impactful, and visually unforgettable.

  • Develop strategic relationships with station groups, news directors, chief meteorologists, and broadcast technology leaders
  • Lead consultative sales efforts from prospecting through closing
  • Present high-impact demonstrations of immersive augmented reality workflows and capabilities
  • Collaborate with product, marketing, meteorology, and technology teams to support customer success
  • Represent AccuWeather at industry events including NAB, IBC, and regional broadcast conferences

Ideal Experience
  • Proven success selling broadcast technology, media solutions, graphics systems, or enterprise software
  • Strong relationships within the television broadcast industry
  • Experience selling innovative or transformational technology solutions
  • Exceptional presentation, negotiation, and executive communication skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, innovation-driven environment

QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's Degree in Sales, Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in B2B sales, ideally in the media, broadcast, production, or technology space.
  • Demonstrated success in meeting or exceeding sales quotas and building long-term client relationships.
  • Outstanding presentation, verbal, and written communication skills.
  • Strong self-starter with the ability to manage the full sales cycle independently.
