Full Job Description
HUMAN is growing fast, and we're looking for a true hunter to help us expand across the media ecosystem - publishers, platforms, agencies, and brands. If you know the adtech world, understand how value actually moves through the supply chain, and love opening (and winning) net-new business, this will feel like home.

What You'll Do:
  • You'll own the full sales motion: finding the right doors, opening them, and closing complex, high-value deals. Day to day, that means:
  • Building and working a healthy pipeline through smart prospecting, outbound engagement, and targeted account strategies.
  • Leading thoughtful, consultative conversations with senior decision-makers across publishers, DSPs/SSPs, agencies, and brands.
  • Tailoring HUMAN's value story to each prospect's technical and commercial reality - and bringing in product or solutions engineering support when needed.
  • Partnering with account, product, and marketing teams to move deals forward and create momentum within strategic accounts.
  • Accurately forecasting revenue and running a disciplined sales process from first touch to close.
  • Staying sharp on cybersecurity, ad fraud, and the shifting dynamics of the media supply chain.

Who You Are:
  • You've been in the adtech or media trenches and can speak the language. More importantly, you're energized by the chase - building relationships, uncovering problems, and landing new logos.
  • 5-7+ years of quota-carrying sales experience in the advertising/media ecosystem (SaaS or data/identity experience is a plus).
  • A proven hunter with a track record of opening and closing net-new business, not just farming existing accounts.
  • Confident operating in complex, multi-stakeholder environments; you know how publishers, platforms, agencies, and brands connect - and who holds influence.
  • Clear, persuasive communicator who can simplify complex tech and lead value-based conversations.
  • Comfortable running independently while teaming closely with product, solutions, and marketing.
  • Curious, persistent, relationship-driven, and motivated by solving real customer problems.
