About Scripps

Three sales forces hire at Scripps, one per business: the local stations, Scripps Networks and Scripps Sports. The stations account for 12 of its 22 sales openings, eight of them account executives (WCPO Cincinnati, WKBW Buffalo, WTMJ Milwaukee, KNXV Phoenix, WPTV West Palm Beach, KERO Bakersfield, KBZK Bozeman, KMVT Twin Falls) who prospect local businesses and agencies and sell commercial airtime bundled with OTT video, search, social, display and email targeting, working to the company's own Scripps Sales Process; local sales managers are wanted for Cincinnati, Cleveland and Helena, with a regional digital sales manager over several stations from Ohio. Scripps Sports has three partnership leads who package league and team inventory into sponsorships and linear and digital buys for regional and national accounts, one built around its Nashville Predators broadcasts on ION and WTVF, another covering Salt Lake City. On the national side, two account executives sell programmatic video and CTV to agencies and trade desks from New York and California, and Scripps Networks in New York adds a senior account manager for SMB and direct response advertisers and two hourly sales assistants. The last two titles are support seats, a Cincinnati producer who builds sponsor contest pages and a remote analyst running YouTube and other digital monetization partners; every one of the 22 is in the US.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
