TMZ is seeking a driven, entrepreneurial Account Executive to lead its direct sales efforts across a dynamic suite of media, content, and experiential products.

• Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, RFP response, pitch development, negotiation, and closing
• Develop and deliver insight-driven proposals spanning social-first programs, platform-native monetization turnkey opportunities, and fully custom, integrated campaigns.
• Maintain a high-velocity pipeline of opportunities that convert to revenue
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales Marketing, Brand Development, Ad Ops, and Research teams to execute campaigns
• Manage and mentor an Account Manager to support deal execution and account growth

Requirements:
• 2–4 years of experience at a media company, publisher, agency, or studio/network
• Proven track record managing accounts from RFP through execution and meeting revenue goals
• Strong client-facing and relationship-building skills
• Working knowledge of digital video, audio, social, and linear platforms
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
