Account Director

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 NSW Sales Director, 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 6+ years of digital media experience.  The Account Director uses existing processes to solve a variety of challenging problems to deliver for clients. The role requires applying 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.
