About Nexstar Media Group
By its own count Nexstar runs 265 local stations in 132 TV markets, and its sales jobs are overwhelmingly station seats: 95 of the 131 sales titles, about seven in ten, are account executives or multimedia sales executives who sell local businesses and agencies a mix of spots on its FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC and CW affiliates, streaming and connected TV, and the search, social, display and email products of its digital agency services. Most are hunter seats built on cold calls, referrals and a book to grow, from entry-level multimedia AE roles in Albany and Utica to AE III titles in Topeka, Knoxville, Wheeling and Sioux City, and 12 strategic account managers serve as the digital specialist who joins AE calls in markets such as Charlotte, Nashville, Portland and Grand Rapids. Each market is run by a sales manager or director of sales (openings in Watertown, Las Vegas, Johnson City, Green Bay, Elmira and Bismarck), while the national seats sit in group sales (a director based in Irving, Chicago, Burbank or New York), a director who sells to law firms across the country, a head of ad sales for The Hill in Washington and a brand partnerships director for NewsNation and The Hill. The remainder are nine sales assistants and coordinators, two sales internships (one unpaid, for course credit), a go-to-market enablement lead and a Salesforce architect. Every opening is in the US, spread over about 36 states and DC, with Texas, California, Tennessee and New York holding the most.
