Account Director
vor 1 Monat
Playground xyz, a GumGum company, is an advertising technology business and leader in attention measurement and optimisation. We're headquartered in Sydney, Australia, and have offices in Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
We're on a mission to master the art and science of maximising attention, helping brands capture attention like never before. We've developed the world's first AI tech stack that measures how long people look at ads (we call it Attention Time), verified with real, opt-in eye-tracking data. With our Attention Intelligence Platform (AIP), we're transforming the way that digital media is measured, bought, and sold.
Our technology is used by some of the biggest brands across the globe, the world's biggest agencies, and major publishers. We're a passionate, enthusiastic team who are genuinely spending our days doing what we love the most - creating new disruptive technologies and products for our partners.
The Account Director role is an individual contributor responsible for prospecting and closing sales in GumGum’s Market Leading Contextual Advertising platform. Reporting to the Head of Sales, VIC, this role is responsible for developing key relationships within large and mid-size agencies with occasional managerial guidance on client calls. We require this role to work relatively autonomously while being supported by a cross-functional pre-sales team.
Account Directors have experience and deep knowledge of the online media landscape, and the advertising community and have at least 4+ years of digital media experience. The Account Director uses existing processes to solve a variety of challenging problems to deliver for clients. The role is required to apply independent judgment and discretion to select appropriate options from GumGum’s defined and proven products.
Note: GumGum fosters a flexible work environment, offering GumGummers the ability to work either in-office or remotely/from home. However, for occasional in-person collaboration, we kindly ask that this position be located within a 'commutable' distance to our office.
