Digital Director

The Digital Director role is an individual contributor responsible for prospecting and closing sales in GumGum’s Market Leading Contextual Advertising platform. Reporting to the Sales Director, this role is responsible for developing sustainable relationships within key 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. 

Digital Directors have experience and deep knowledge of the online media landscape, the advertising community and have at least 5+ years of digital media experience.  The Digital 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.

And finally, as we thrive to get the best out of our teams, we also get to celebrate successes together with our teams and with our partners. So we will be having lots of moments to hang out together and have fun.

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.
