Build, Fix & Scale Operations: Assess existing structures, establish clear KPIs, and refine operational processes to continuously improve sales output, forecasting accuracy, and resource allocation.
Navigate Ambiguity & Prioritize at Scale: Move fast in a rapidly evolving business, maintaining high execution standards while managing competing priorities and solving complex, ambiguous challenges.
Lead & Inspire High-Performing Teams: Recruit, mentor, and retain top sales and account management talent, cultivating a resilient, accountable, and winning team culture.

Preferred Qualifications

Inspirational Leadership: Exceptional track record of building inclusive, high-energy cultures that retain top talent and drive peak performance under tight expectations.
Commercial Grit & Execution: High agency, bias for action, and a relentless focus on winning market share in established and emerging ad channels.
