Job Details

Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.

This position is US-based only.

Discord is the place for all things gaming.  Discord is the place where players have their entire hangout experience with friends – from before, during, and after gaming sessions.  Discord is also the place where every major game publisher and studio maintains an official community.  And finally Discord is the place where the latest news, beta codes, and big gaming moments happen.  

We are looking for Account Executives to join as founding members of the sales team for our new Quests ads business line. In this role you work on the mobile gaming business at Discord and be influential in developing our ad product offering for this segment. We are seeking an individual who is passionate about games, the game industry, and helping game companies market to the players who are most passionate about their games. 

You will be working in a zero to 1 environment to build up and grow a new, and fast-growing business line at Discord.  You will harness your prior experience in advertising/media/marketing spaces and bring a combination of strategic business thinking, industry relationships, product insights, and an ability to build a significant, recurring book of business with clients.

What you'll be doing

  • Generate Revenue: You will drive new partnerships with game publishers, studios, and their media agencies to build new and repeatable revenue streams for Discord’s emerging mobile ads business. You will prospect and source new opportunities, navigate client needs against Discord’s offerings, and negotiate and close business deals. 
  • Internal Strategic Insights: You will work collaboratively and cross functionally with internal teams to bring strategic recommendations for the product road map. You will work with teammates within the sales function to build and enhance scalable processes for the growing ads business.  
  • Consultative Client Partnerships: You will work with clients to identify their marketing needs, and develop strategic proposals that deliver value against those needs. You will build and deepen longterm, strategic relationships with senior decision makers across the gaming segment. 
  • Industry Thought Leadership: You will demonstrate expertise around the gaming, media, marketing, and advertising spaces to clients, within Discord, and in industry forums.

What you should have

  • 6+ years of direct experience in ad sales in the gaming industry, specifically in building new business from scratch with major players in the gaming sector.
  • Proven experience in delivering against account and revenue goals, specifically with building new mobile business.
  • Experience in building relationships with top marketing decision-makers at game publishers and their agencies. 
  • Ability to analyze data and identify insights to assess campaign performance, and proactively troubleshoot and problem-solve quickly and through the proper escalation channels.
  • Experience working internally with crossfunctional partners to influence product development and processes. 
  • Willingness to travel for regional in-person client meetings

The total annual target compensation range for this full-time position is $255k - $300k OTE + equity + benefits. Our compensation ranges are determined by role and level. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Please note that the compensation details listed reflect the OTE (base salary + target variable compensation) only, and do not include equity, or benefits.

About The Company

Discord is a voice, video and text platform that helps friends come together to hang out, play games and have fun. When Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy founded Discord in 2015 they had a hunch that multiplayer gaming would be the future of entertainment and that people would need a communications platform designed for them to talk with their gaming friends. Today, gaming has become the largest form of entertainment in the world, bigger than movies and music combined. It’s the fastest-growing as well. Discord makes it feel like you’re playing in the same room with friends.
