Workweek is looking for a Brand Partner to help us bring the future of B2B media to life by building truly consultative partnerships with both brands and agencies.
We're looking for a relentlessly motivated and proven seller who loves to get creative with branded and custom partnerships. This person will sell across a variety of B2B content verticals and media channels — from an angel investing podcast to a cannabis newsletter and beyond. This person will need to both leverage existing agency and brand contacts, as well as use cold-outreach, to introduce Workweek to a wide array of brands and advertisers.
As one of the first members of our Partnerships team, this person will have the opportunity to build deep, long-lasting relationships that can grow greatly over time. Given this, you will need to work tirelessly to understand the marketing goals of our partners, then develop creative, tailored campaigns that both meet those goals without sacrificing the authenticity of the Workweek brand.
Ideally, this person prioritizes action over perfection and loves working towards (and beating) revenue goals. Above all, we're looking for a great teammate who's excited to use their sales and partnership skills towards accomplishing our mission — and wants to have a lot of fun doing it.
Note: This is a full-time position. You'll always be able to work remotely wherever you want, but we're planning to open an office in Austin, TX, in the near future for anyone who wants to work IRL. All work will be done in English.
