    • Cultivate relationships with clients, gain deep insight into their business, and ultimately provide solutions to their marketing and advertising goals
    • Expand Viant's footprint across the territory and within key accounts by cross-selling and up-selling product portfolio
    • Provide feedback to the company on how to best service clients' needs

    GREAT TO HAVE

    • 4-6 years programmatic/ad tech sales experience
    • Strong understanding and enthusiasm about the latest in digital media, ad tech, data targeting, 1st party data, platform sales, programmatic, behavioral targeting and optimization strategies
    • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced work environment, while being able to quickly gain product efficiency across our broad set of offerings
    • Smart, articulate, polished, self-driven, highly motivated team player with excellent problem solving skills, as well as superb organizational, written, and verbal communication skills
    • A consultative, strategic thinker with great energy and enthusiasm for prospecting for new business and excellent closing skills
    • Demonstrated proficiency in demo-premised and solution-premised selling
    • Bachelor's degree required
