Its laser focus on Identity sets it apart from competitive solutions and enables the company to offer the most advanced and sophisticated identity services to over 100,000 media properties, and hundreds of technology platforms and advertisers, making it the most adopted identity solution in the market.
Role Overview
The Account Executive – Enterprise Sales is responsible for driving net-new revenue by forging first-time, revenue-bearing relationships with enterprise companies across the AdTech, Publisher, and Advertising ecosystem. These organizations depend on sophisticated data, technology, and identity solutions to reach audiences, measure performance, and operate in an increasingly privacy-first world.
In this role, you will own the full enterprise sales cycle—from prospecting and discovery through negotiation and close—focused exclusively on new logo acquisition in the US market. You will run a highly consultative sales process, diagnosing customer needs, positioning technically nuanced solutions, and navigating complex, multi-stakeholder buying groups.
This is an individual contributor role requiring strong sales discipline, intellectual curiosity, and resilience. Success in this role comes from pairing rigorous process with genuine curiosity and grit, not transactional selling.
