Sales Director
<p>Upwave: The Brand Outcomes Measurement Platform</p>
<p>Upwave is a leading measurement company entirely focused on measuring and optimizing upper funnel campaigns.. The world’s leading advertisers, agencies, and media partners trust Upwave’s robust, AI-driven platform to bring science to the top of the funnel.</p>
<p>With Upwave, marketers maximize the effectiveness of brand spend. Upwave measures Brand Lift, validates Brand Reach, and surfaces Brand Optimization opportunities in one, dynamic platform with cross-channel brand measurement for CTV, Digital, Social, Linear, Addressable, Retail Media, Streaming Audio and more.</p>
<p>We’re a profitable, growth-stage company backed by leading venture investors (Y Combinator, Uncork Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Initialized Capital, PivotNorth, Ridge Ventures, Industry Ventures, Conductive Ventures,) and leading AdTechfounders & CEOs.</p>
<p>We’re a humble but ambitious team that takes its work seriously but never ourselves. Come join us.</p>
<p>We're hiring a Sales Director to join our buy-side business: brands and the agencies that support them.</p>
<p>This is a revenue-growth oriented role and it comes with an unusual advantage. Hundreds of major brands already run Upwave studies every quarter through Upwave’s platform partners (DSP’s, RMN’s & Publishers). The objective of this role is to help Upwave grow via direct brand and agency partnerships.</p>
<p>This role will be based in New York.</p>
<p>What you'll do</p>
<ul>
<li>Own a named list of brands and their agencies. Win new logos and grow existing customers</li>
<li>Sell measurement, not media. Our customers are brand and insights leads, media directors, and the teams who execute for them</li>
<li>Build and manage a robust pipeline through proactive prospecting, relationship development, and consultative solution selling</li>
<li>Partner closely with internal teams (Marketing, Product, and Customer Success) to ensure seamless onboarding and customer satisfaction.</li>
<li>Represent Upwave in market — industry events, trade press, the rooms where brand measurement gets discussed</li>
</ul>
<p>About you</p>
<ul>
<li>You have 8+ years selling in digital media, adtech or measurement, with a track record of closing new business</li>
<li>You have real relationships on the buy side — brand marketers, insights leaders, and the agency planners and investment teams who sit between them</li>
<li>You've sold measurement, not impressions</li>
<li>You know what brand lift is and can hold a credible conversation about methodology without reaching for a solutions engineer on the first call</li>
<li>You can make complexity sound simple. Our product is genuinely technical and our buyers are genuinely busy. Both things have to be true at once in how you manage pitch conversations </li>
</ul>
<p>Bonus points</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>You understand how platform buying has changed who actually holds the measurement decision</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You've worked with linear or cross-platform measurement</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You use AI tools with real fluency and have found leverage with them in a previous role</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You care about the underlying problem: helping advertisers prove that brand spend worked</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
