Director, AI Sales Strategy

Job Description:

As Director, AI Sales Strategy, you have a unique mix of skills and experience that make you just as creative as you are technical.

Additionally, you’ll play a major role in the development and ongoing iterations of our internal education and communication around AI to our sales and marketing teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement strategies around AI-focused RFPs and proactive campaigns to improve response times, client satisfaction, and overall effectiveness.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including our sales, marketing, and technology departments, as well as external vendors, to help execute on AI-powered opportunities that align with our client’s strategic objectives.
• Design and manage projects that leverage our AI capabilities to create deeper and mutually beneficial partnerships with new and existing clients.
• Monitor and report on the performance of AI initiatives, providing insights and recommendations to optimize results.
• Stay abreast of industry trends and developments in AI and media to ensure we maintain our competitive edge.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Marketing, Business, or related fields.
• Proven experience in marketing, sales, or business development, particularly in the media industry.
• Experience in AI, machine learning, or related fields, with a strong understanding of their application in a business context.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
