ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Our client is an established, award-winning digital marketing agency serving B2B and B2C clients nationwide. The agency has a strong reputation, an existing client base, and a significant opportunity to accelerate new-business growth.
This is an exciting opportunity for a proven sales professional who can build pipeline, win new clients, and help shape the agency’s future sales strategy.
About the Role
The Director of Sales will be a hands-on player-coach responsible for generating new business while helping strengthen the agency’s overall sales approach.
You will identify target markets and prospects, open doors, lead discovery conversations, develop proposals, and manage the full sales cycle through close. A critical part of the role is the ability to create your own pipeline rather than depend primarily on inbound opportunities.
You will join an existing sales team of two and report to the SVP of Client Services. You will work closely with agency leadership to position the agency’s capabilities, develop an effective outbound strategy, and identify opportunities across industries including healthcare, financial services, real estate and multifamily, automotive, legal, and other multi-location businesses.
While this is a hands-on sales role, there is meaningful opportunity to mentor the existing team, introduce new processes, and grow into broader sales leadership.
The position may be based in any major U.S. market. Candidates should be located near a major airport and able to travel to Houston for approximately three to four days per month.
