About The Washington Post
Revenue at The Washington Post comes through two commercial groups, and its current sales seats sit in both. The Global Advertising team sells integrated campaigns that mix digital and print ads, custom content, live events, audio and social, and its public and corporate affairs vertical works the Washington advocacy market: corporate affairs departments and the public affairs agencies that place their spend, led by a director who carries revenue targets and builds the team, beside an associate director of agency development who grows spend agency by agency across the Post's client teams. Both of those seats ask for years of DC media sales and a network of senior client and agency contacts already in hand. A separate Partnerships organization (Platform Partnerships, Business Development, Strategy and Operations) handles deals with technology platforms, AI licensing, content distribution and subscription partnerships, and it hires behind the dealmakers: an operations lead who turns signed agreements into working launches, and a principal who measures partner performance and vets proposed deals. On the creator side, WP Studios hires a strategist and producer who matches creators to advertisers' branded programs before and after the sale, and Washington Post Creator hires a director who negotiates creator agreements as the business owner. These roles are in the US, based at the Washington headquarters apart from the New York WP Studios seat, and the postings say staff work on-site five days a week.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
