About Hearst
Hearst Television accounts for 38 of the 61 sales openings: account executives at 23 stations, from WISN in Milwaukee and WBAL in Baltimore to KHBS in Rogers, Arkansas, who prospect local business owners and negotiate rates with agencies across broadcast, digital, multicast and streaming, plus five sales account associates on a 9 to 12 month track to AE, three digital sales managers who ride along and coach, a national sales manager in Omaha who also runs political sales, and a corporate OTT and CTV seller in New York who calls on holding companies. Nine more are newspaper AEs selling print and digital campaigns to local advertisers for the Times Union in Albany, The Dallas Morning News, Hearst Connecticut Media Group (Meriden and Norwalk), the Midland Reporter-Telegram and small papers run from Bad Axe, Michigan and Alton, Illinois. Hearst Magazines hires eight in New York: three account managers who build media plans and run campaigns across its brands, two sales assistants, a director of agency partnerships for holding companies and independents, a VP for video, social and event sponsorship sales, and a director over the team that sells awards licensing packages to brands and PR firms. The business-to-business units sell software and data: Noregon has two BDRs and an AE in Greensboro or remote for truck diagnostics and its ShopPulse shop management SaaS, MOTOR a quota-carrying inside seller in Troy, Michigan for fleet data products, First Databank a partner manager in South San Francisco who owns the renewal of one of its largest data partnerships, and MHK a sales executive in Tampa calling on risk-bearing health care organizations. All 61 openings are in the US, with New York (12) and Florida (8) holding the most.

Among station AEs only KCRA in Sacramento names a number, a role paid on commission that it estimates at $70,000 to $100,000 depending on performance; WISN, WMUR, WTAE, WLKY and the other stations give none.
