This role involves building and growing partnerships, understanding customer needs, and driving new business through a hunter mentality. The executive will collaborate cross-functionally with Creative, Design, Research, and Yield teams to create compelling proposals and proactive ideas.

Qualifications include 4+ years selling video/CTV and programmatic advertising, 3+ years in marketing/media sales, and strong existing relationships within the media advertising sales and agency markets.

Kargo creates powerful moments of connection between brands and consumers to build businesses. Every day, our dynamic teams work to radically raise the bar on what agentic AI, CTV, eCommerce, social, and mobile can do to deliver unique ad experiences across the world’s most premium platforms. Taking a Creative Science approach to all we do, we continuously innovate solutions that outperform industry benchmarks and client expectations. Kargo is growing rapidly and currently has offices in NYC, Chicago, LA, Dallas, Sydney, Auckland, London and Waterford, Ireland.

Who We Hire

Techies who want to build the future. Creatives who want to design it better. Communicators to win business. Collaborators to build it. Data pros who turn numbers into insights. Product builders who turn ideas into innovations. Anyone eager to be on a team that doesn’t stop to ask what’s next, because they’re already building it.

The Opportunity As a Senior Account Executive, you'll be the primary link between Kargo and the marketplace, using your deep relationships and sales experience to drive growth across key brands and agencies, including enterprise-level accounts. You'll own a quarterly and annual quota, contribute to revenue forecasts, and bring market insight back to the business to help shape our roadmap.
