About Viant
What Viant's sellers put in front of buyers is the Viant DSP, the software agencies and advertisers use to buy programmatic media across connected TV, audio, display, out-of-home and gaming, along with its Household ID identity graph, data tools and measurement. Territory sales is a hunting job: account directors in New York and Los Angeles and an account executive in Chicago (covering Chicago and Milwaukee) prospect independent agencies and advertisers by cold call and meeting, carry a revenue quota and lock in long-term contracts before cross-selling the rest of the product line. Each territory is backed by account managers (one in Atlanta, a senior one in New York) who write RFP and RFI responses, launch and optimize campaigns and own retention and upsell on a roster of accounts, and by a New York sales engineer who leads technical discovery and DSP, data and measurement demos. The biggest group, four of the ten openings, is Head of Industry for CPG, financial services, retail and travel: senior hires with 15 or more years in advertising who build brand-direct demand in one vertical, back agency adoption and recruit a team of category sellers. Every opening 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.
