Associate Director of Brand Partnerships - NYC

About the role

We're looking for an Associate Director of Brand Partnerships to join our National Ad Sales team in New York. You'll sell video advertising (TV, CTV/OTT, and DOOH) across Atmosphere's network of 55,000+ venues to national brands and their agencies, bringing new advertisers onto the platform and growing the ones already there.

This is a new, quota-carrying individual contributor role in the NYC market. Reporting to the Head of Agency, East, you'll own a territory and build your book through in-person meetings, calls, and industry events, specifically targeting business within the Publicis group and their clients.

This role is based in our NYC office, with a hybrid schedule requiring team members to be in our office 3-4 days a week.

What you'll do

• Run the full sales cycle across your assigned territory, from prospecting and first meetings through negotiation, close, and renewal.
• Secure both Direct IO and programmatic investment from Publicis and the brands under their umbrella.
• Manage your pipeline to hit or exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets.
• Book and run a minimum of 8 qualified client and agency meetings each week through consistent, creative outreach.
• Focus your time on the brands and categories where Atmosphere has the strongest right to win.
• Pitch Atmosphere's video, CTV/OTT, and DOOH offering to client, agency, and programmatic teams, and explain why budget belongs on our platform.
• Map the key decision makers at each account and build relationships across buying, planning, and brand teams.
• Use audience and campaign data to build tailored partnership proposals for each client.
• Work with Marketing, Account Management, and Revenue Operations to launch campaigns and deliver recaps that set up renewals.
• Share client feedback, competitive intel, and market insights with Atmosphere Sales Leadership, along with recommendations.
• Keep CRM records for your accounts accurate and up to date.
• 2+ years of experience selling digital and video media to national brands and agencies.
• Existing relationships with Publicis and brand decision makers that you can activate right away.
• Background in digital, video, and/or DOOH sales, ideally at a challenger media company.
• A track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets.
• Strong presentation and negotiation skills.
• The organization to manage a high volume of opportunities and meetings at once.
• Comfort using data to identify a client's needs and sell to outcomes.
• Coachable and resilient, with a habit of learning from losses as well as wins.
• Curiosity about the industry, including trends, new technologies, and what's happening at your clients.
• Located in the NYC metro area.
