What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Executive position at Entercom?
At Radio.com, we focus on client programs that involve Advanced Digital, Social, Event and Audio solutions. Each day, our Account Executives actively network with local, regional, and national CEO/CMO’s to discuss their needs, and provide comprehensive and powerful digital advertising solutions. We’re seeking a strategic Account Executive to focus on accounts that need a marketing program, not just a few “banner ads”. In this role, you will play a major part in leading partnerships and developing new relationships with some of the world’s largest advertisers as well as “New to Digital” clients. This is a quota carrying sales role. We are looking for a strategic thinker who will be deeply involved, with the help of Radio.com’s support team and management, in building solutions for advertisers that lead to long-term partnerships.
You should have a real passion for all things digital. Being a huge music fan won’t hurt either! Strong communication, presentation, and problem solving skills are an essential part of this role. We value self-starters, with the ability to work independently, but cooperatively and enthusiastically, in what is still a startup environment. If you have a strong track record of hitting established targets, and enjoy working in a rapidly changing environment, AND love music and entertainment, we just might be a match!
