Sales Executive, Media & Entertainment

The best salespeople don’t just sell software - they solve business problems and create opportunities where others may not see them.

As a Sales Executive on MNTN’s Media & Entertainment team, you’ll help establish and grow one of our emerging industry verticals. You’ll own the full sales cycle, build new relationships, and help MNTN prove and scale within the Media & Entertainment vertical.

In this role, you'll work with entertainment, media, and experiential brands, from live venues and attractions to media and publishing companies, and professional sports organizations, to help them turn television into a measurable growth channel. You'll learn each brand's growth model and audience, then show how MNTN can help drive awareness, visits, subscriptions, or growth.

This is a true hunter role for someone who is motivated by winning new business and comfortable creating momentum without relying on an established pipeline or fully developed playbook. You’ll take the time to understand each prospect’s business, lead thoughtful discovery, and show how MNTN can help achieve their performance goals.

You’ll work closely with Customer Success and cross-functional partners to create a strong customer experience and bring important market insights back into the business. 

If you’re a self-starter who is energized by greenfield opportunities, curious about how industries grow, and excited to help build MNTN’s next growth engine, we’d love to meet you.
