Brand Partner - Tumblr

Tumblr is looking for a socially savvy Brand Partner who can prospect and pitch new  brand partners, nurture and grow existing ones, and consistently achieve revenue  targets. 

You will be part of a small but mighty team focused on driving direct revenue via  advertiser partnerships that leverage Tumblr’s media solutions, Creatrs (artist network),  marketing initiatives, and new product offerings (ie. merch, digital goods).  

As a consultative seller, you will serve as a subject matter expert on Tumblr for our  brand and agency partners. Your knowledge will help create campaigns that generate  revenue by tapping the culture, conversations, and creativity unique to Tumblr. 

Here are some of the things you’ll get up to: 

• Prospect, qualify and close deals from new advertisers. Even with an established book of business, you will still be expected to grow new business. 

• Cultivate and strengthen relationships with existing advertisers via consultative  sales, exceptional customer service, and ongoing education and promotion of  Tumblr’s audience and offerings, leading to renewals, upsells, and expanded  opportunities. 

• Lead the development of RFP responses and proactive pitches in partnership  with Account Management, Creative Services, and other cross-functional  partners.  

• Maintain familiarity with the Tumblr platform, its evolving consumer and  advertiser offerings, and the audiences that drive it.  

• Represent Tumblr in the market (online and in-person) as a thought leader and  evangelist for our audience and offerings.  

• Leverage SalesForce, Slack, and P2’s effectively to manage your pipeline, document campaign executions, and communicate internally.

If the following points resonate with you, we should definitely talk: 

• Successful experience in online media sales with a focus on social media.

• Tapped into where internet culture meets digital marketing, and can  effectively communicate the unique value of Tumblr to our brand partners and their agencies.  

• Deep market knowledge and strong relationships with brands and agencies.

• Always building new relationships and looking for partnerships with new brands  and agencies.  

• Demonstrable experience in generating new business revenue from advertisers

• and their agencies. 

• A $50k deal is great to start off with, but we’re chasing $500k+.  

• A natural communicator: in-person, online, and via written words.  

• Super comfortable working in a fast-moving and ever-evolving environment. 

• Comfortable building creative solutions for clients rather than relying on what’s  already out there. 

Automattic work in a fully remote environment. This is a client-facing sales role, so you would be expected to meet with clients regularly. Most of our client base will be based in New York and California. We are prioritizing candidates based in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California. 

Salary range: $100,000-$175,000 USD, plus variable compensation -  Please note that salary ranges are global, regardless of location, and we pay in local currency.

This isn’t your typical work-from-home job—we are a fully-remote company with an open vacation policy. To see a full list of benefits by country, consult our Benefits Page. And check out these links to learn more about How We Hire and What We Expect from Ourselves.
