What You’ll Do

  • Pitch our outsourcing, managed services, and team-scaling solutions to video streaming, Pay-TV, media, broadcast, and telco prospects through presentations, calls, and attending industry events (e.g., IBC Amsterdam, NAB Las Vegas).
  • Build and nurture a pipeline by researching target organizations, identifying key contacts, and forging industry partnerships.

  • Strong experience selling solutions and services at CxO’s level.
  • 4+ years’ experience selling professional services, outsourcing solutions, staff or team augmentation services (bonus if you’ve done this in the media & entertainment or satellite & comms sector).
  • You have a strong passion for sales enablement, social media, and understand the power of personal branding.
  • Track record of building partnerships and growing SMEs—not just corporate sales.
  • Collaborative, high-energy, and adaptable, with stellar communication skills.
