What We Are Looking For:

We are looking for an ambitious, creative, and highly strategic Senior Director of Brand Partnerships to join our new business team, with a focus on growing ATTN:'s presence across multiple categories including, but not limited to, technology, social media platforms, and retail.

This is a senior revenue-driving role for someone who is excited to build on a strong foundation of marquee clients. The right person will bring meaningful industry relationships, a track record of developing and closing significant business, and the ability to sell strategic creative services.

You will partner with leading brands and senior decision-makers, helping ATTN: grow existing relationships, unlock new opportunities, and expand the company's role as a creative, social-first, and strategic partner to companies shaping culture, technology, and consumer behavior.

This role is ideal for someone who has built a strong career in media, agency, brand partnerships, or client-side marketing and is looking for greater ownership of client relationships, revenue growth, and new business development within a fast-moving, entrepreneurial organization.

What You'll Do

• You'll drive the full deal lifecycle, owning a revenue target and managing everything from thoughtful prospecting, pipeline development, and relationship-building to creative strategy, proposal development, negotiation, and close.
• Own and grow a portfolio of strategic accounts, building trusted relationships across brand, marketing, media, communications, and innovation teams.
• Identify and develop new business opportunities through your network, market knowledge, proactive outreach, and ability to connect ATTN:'s capabilities to client priorities.
• Sell integrated, creative, and social-first programs that may span branded content, creator partnerships, experiential, streaming, digital, social, and broader strategic agency-style solutions.
• Think like a brand marketer, not just a seller, with the ability to understand client objectives, business pressures, audience needs, and the role ATTN: can play in helping brands show up with relevance and impact.
• Partner closely with internal creative, strategy, account, production, and leadership teams to develop compelling ideas, proposals, and solutions that address client needs and drive new business.
• Contribute to ATTN:'s go-to-market approach within key categories, identifying emerging opportunities, developing market intelligence, and helping the company build deeper relationships with priority brands.
• Prioritize high-value accounts and develop thoughtful account plans that support both near-term revenue opportunities and longer-term strategic growth.
• Create momentum in the market by turning relationships and outreach into meetings, briefs, project-based work, and larger-scale partnerships.
• Maintain an active and disciplined pipeline, effectively managing opportunities across different stages and maintaining visibility into revenue potential and next steps.
• Stay closely attuned to marketing trends, technology shifts, social behavior, cultural conversations, and integrated, multi-platform campaigns.
• Operate comfortably in a fast-moving environment where the role requires strategic thinking alongside a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach to building relationships and winning business.

Who You Are

• 10+ years of relevant experience across digital, social, media, agency, brand partnerships, client-direct sales, business development, or in-house marketing.
• Strong experience working with technology, innovation-led, or culturally relevant brands, with an understanding of how these companies think about brand, audience, reputation, growth, and cultural relevance.
• An established network of relationships across technology, AI, consumer technology, social media platforms, enterprise technology, retail, or other innovation-focused companies, with the ability to build new relationships beyond your existing network.
• A strategic and proactive client partner with experience selling or developing branded content, social-first campaigns, creator/influencer programs, integrated partnerships, or creative agency-style solutions.
• A demonstrated ability to develop relationships and convert them into meaningful commercial opportunities and long-term partnerships.
• Experienced in building client-direct relationships and navigating complex organizations with multiple decision-makers and stakeholders.
• Comfortable selling ideas, creative solutions, and strategy, not just inventory or impressions.
• Confident negotiating and closing complex, high-value partnerships, including six-figure opportunities and larger integrated engagements.
• Commercially minded and comfortable owning a revenue target, managing a pipeline, and being accountable for measurable new business results.
• Energized by building and excited by the opportunity to expand relationships, develop new accounts, and contribute to ATTN:'s next stage of growth.
• A strong communicator and presenter with executive presence, sound judgment, commercial discipline, and the ability to build trust with clients and internal leadership.
• A fast learner and original thinker who can thrive in ambiguity, adjust quickly to change, and bring structure to open-ended opportunities.
• Passionate about ATTN:'s mission, our content, social storytelling, and the evolving role brands play in culture.
