Strategic Growth Director

About the Company
Our client is a fast moving advertising, AI and commerce media business in Sydney. They combine commerce audiences, creative technology, programmatic activation and strategic media thinking to help brands advertise smarter and grow faster, rather than protect how the industry has always worked.

About the Role
This is a senior new business role, not an order taking one. You will sell across brands, agencies and client side marketing teams, opening doors with CMOs, Heads of Media, marketing directors and agency owners. Success in the first 12 months is measured on the long term strategic partnerships you establish.

Benefits

• $150k base salary plus Super with an uncapped commission structure (up to $300k OTE)
• Genuine career progression as the business scales
• Entrepreneurial culture with real autonomy over how you build your patch
• Access to exclusive commerce audiences and advanced advertising capability
• Selling genuinely new solutions in one of the fastest changing parts of media and AI

Duties / Key Responsibilities

• Open new commercial conversations with CMOs, Heads of Media, marketing directors and agency owners across brands and agencies
• Sell commerce intent audiences, AI driven campaign planning, programmatic activation, rich media and lead generation solutions
• Frame the pitch around growth, speed and commercial outcomes rather than advertising products
• Shape deals for clients who want the technology inside their own trading teams, and for those who want the full process managed end to end
• Convert early wins into long term partnerships and establish the business as a preferred strategic AI and media partner

Skills and Experience

• 5 years or more in digital media, adtech, martech or programmatic sales
• Existing senior relationships across brands or agencies that you can activate quickly
• A proven record of winning new business, not solely managing existing accounts
• Confidence presenting to and holding commercial conversations with senior decision makers
• Strong commercial mindset and a genuine interest in AI, commerce media and solving client business problems
