The ideal candidate will have 4-6 years of experience in media sales or brand partnerships, a strong understanding of the media and advertising landscape, and proficiency in AI-powered sales tools. This position requires exceptional communication, presentation, and operational discipline, with a focus on luxury, fashion, and beauty brands.

Founded in 2005, Hypebeast is a global contemporary-culture media brand with operations across 12 markets. Through original reporting, video, collaborations, and live events, Hypebeast covers fashion, footwear, art, design, music, sports, and technology, bringing audiences closer to the people and ideas shaping culture.

Responsibilities:

Drive revenue across Hypebeast’s digital, social, branded content, and experiential platforms, meeting assigned quarterly and annual revenue targets.

Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline through consistent prospecting, account growth, and new business development, with accurate forecasting and clear next steps.

Independently own assigned client and agency relationships from outreach and briefing through proposal, negotiation, close, and internal handoff.

Maintain a high volume of account activity, including a baseline expectation of 8 quality client and agency meetings per week, with timely follow-up and responsiveness.

Develop and confidently present strategic, client-ready proposals with clear narratives, deliverables, pricing, and timelines.

Proactively manage opportunities, deadlines, and cross-functional collaboration, escalating early when support is needed and demonstrating strong knowledge of Hypebeast’s products, processes, and capabilities.

Leverage AI, technology, marketplace insights, and cultural trends to improve efficiency, inform sales strategy, and proactively identify opportunities.

Take accountability for assigned business by following through on commitments, communicating effectively, and incorporating feedback.

Requirements:

4-6 years of experience in media sales, brand partnerships, marketing, or agency partnerships.

Demonstrated track record of meeting or exceeding revenue or comparable commercial targets.

Experience selling integrated branded content and storytelling-led solutions, not solely standard media.

Strong understanding of the media, publishing, social, marketing and advertising landscape.

Exceptional communication and presentation skills with the ability to independently lead client conversations and pitches.

Strong operational discipline across pipeline management, forecasting, proposals, follow-up, and internal coordination.

Highly organized, detail-oriented, responsive, and able to manage multiple opportunities and deadlines simultaneously.

Strong understanding of how fashion, footwear, luxury, and beauty brands authentically engage with culture.

Proficient in AI-powered tools and modern sales technology, with the ability to quickly adopt new platforms and use technology to improve productivity, research, organization, and sales effectiveness.
