Persuasively communicate Samba's offerings and unique value proposition to agencies via email, phone, and in-person presentations.

8+ years of experience in advertising, digital media, adtech, or data/analytics sales, with a track record selling into or alongside media agencies.

A genuine player-coach mindset: you still love to sell and carry a number, and you get energy from developing others and multiplying their success.
Deep familiarity with the independent agency landscape and the buyers, decision-makers, and dynamics that define it.
Demonstrated strategic, consultative, and analytical sales approach with a focus on building partnerships with clients.
Customer-focused leadership with excellent communication, networking, and negotiation skills.

Proficiency in Salesforce and a disciplined approach to pipeline and forecast management.
Currently requiring 3 days a week on-site in office, with a possibility of increasing in the future.
Willingness to travel to outside markets and to entertain clients during evenings and occasionally weekends.
