The Hustle

The Hustle is a media company that uses our voice to give millions of business leaders around the world the news and information they need to put their dent in the world.

We are completely changing how digital media brands build brand loyalty. And you, as one of our early hires, will help us get to where we need to go.

Here’s how it works

Each morning we send our daily business news email to an incredibly large and loyal audience. And, at just about two years old, we’re one of the fastest growing media brands in the country.

While we currently monetize our audience through large advertising deals with brands like Microsoft and Salesforce, we're now launching subscription products and services for our young professional audience.

It’s our belief that the future the CNN’s, Fox’s, and other media brands of the world (something we want to become) must have multiple streams of revenue.

This posting is for an Agency Lead - Account Director position.

At the core, this job exists to find and work with brands and their agencies who want to advertise with The Hustle. More specifically, you'll be part of our Advertising Sales Team, which is responsible for monetizing our email content at a world-class level.

Your objective is to help our growing sales team work through RFPs, guide us through the waters of the agency world, and exceed your individual quota.

Responsibilities

- Joining our existing direct advertising sales team in Austin, TX full-time

- Be prepared to travel to New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco

- Be the expert on the team by brainstorming and creating a strategy for all RFPs and agency relationships

- The full sales cycle: prospect, pitch, close, and renew accounts

- Work with our Client Success team to grow and expand your existing accounts

- Meet and exceed the quarterly quota

Required Skills & Qualifications

Here is the list of skills we believe are necessary for this job. Most importantly, we are hiring based on careful balance of relevant experience, cultural fit, and motivation:

- A history of closing 6-figure advertising deals and carrying a $1.5m+ annual quota.

- 5+ years in digital advertising sales

- Deep relationships with agencies or larger brands (B2B or B2C): this person has a book of business that they've built over the years and can immediately bring value to The Hustle.

- 2+ years working with agencies and navigating RFPs

- Self-motivated and ambitious: We've grown quickly without any venture capital because we work our butts off. There are no lifestyle roles here and no easy days. We all work hard every day because we care about our mission and what we do is important to us.

- Ability to hit a quota: We view ourselves as a pirate ship. We're a profitable, independent company and control our own destiny. That means everyone must pull their own weight.
