About the Job

In addition, you will be expected to think “bigger picture” on each of your accounts, proactively engaging in strategic conversations with your publishers beyond the day-to-day growth opportunities. This will require you to fully grasp a publisher’s business, and ensure that we have contacts at all levels of their business to understand (and potentially supplement) that larger company strategy.

  • Manage and facilitate the process as your accounts advance through product implementations
  • Develop and execute a regular cadence for collaborative, productive conversations, providing insights on their performance, health, and growth opportunities
  • Share learnings, ideas, best practices, and successes with other Account Managers and the greater Customer Success Team

  • Identify Sovrn products that will help your accounts expand their success, increase revenue and partner with (Pub Growth / Solution Engineers) to engage your publishers with these solutions
  • Identify and monitor the activity of volatile accounts, reporting on upcoming or ongoing impacts or potential threats to the overall business

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
