Account Executive

Your new role at SparkLoop

As our first account executive, you'll work closely with our marketing and account management teams to help brands and publishers discover the true potential of SparkLoop, and commit to giving us a try.

You'll build on your existing network in the media/publishing industry, supplemented by our outbound and inbound lead generation efforts.

Being the first sales role on the team, you'll be excited to work closely with our cofounder, Louis, to create effective sales processes and initiatives from scratch. This may initially include a small amount of BDR work.

‍

Initial responsibilities

• Building relationships with key stakeholders at top media brands and publishers

• Helping these target clients discover the opportunity of SparkLoop, overcome internal objections, and begin working with our onboarding team

• Work closely with our cofounder, Louis, and growth team to identify opportunities and improve our sales funnel

Signs this role is perfect for you

You definitely have:

• 1-3 years experience in a sales role in the SaaS or media/publishing industries

• The ability to communicate effectively in native-level English

• A strong sense of autonomy — this is a role with a high degree of freedom and responsibility

• An "almost alarming" interest in newsletters and/or the media industry

• A strong timezone overlap with the US for your working day

‍

In a perfect world, you also have:

• Experience selling to or for media companies. Eg at an ESP or brand partnerships at a publisher/media brand

• A newsletter of your own

• A solid existing online network/profile in the media industry/newsletter space

‍

If this sounds a lot like you but not quite everything, we encourage you to apply anyway. There's still a great chance you're who we're looking for!
