About the Role:

The Director of Mid-Market Advertising Sales will lead a team of Advertising Account Directors focused on growing media revenue within existing accounts. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for coaching sellers through complex, brand-direct cycles and partnering cross-functionally to drive results.

The Director will play a key role in scaling one of Demandbase’s fastest-growing business units, with visibility across product, sales, and executive leadership. This role offers the opportunity to shape how B2B advertising is sold and developed within a broader GTM strategy—positioning the Director for expanded leadership as the business continues to grow.

The base compensation range for this position for candidates in the United States is: $163,000 - $204,000. For all other locations, the base compensation range is based on the primary work location of the candidate as our ranges are location-specific. Actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years of experience, and depth of experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Manage and coach a team of 5+ Advertising Account Directors focused on growing media spend within existing customer accounts
  • Actively support reps in complex sales cycles, jumping into Gong calls, providing in-deal strategy, and addressing customer-specific challenges
  • Deliver structured coaching and development plans for both experienced and early-career sellers
  • Partner cross-functionally with Account Directors, Product, Marketing, and RevOps to ensure cohesive go-to-market execution
  • Contribute to team forecasting, reporting, and sales process improvements within Salesforce
  • Drive adoption of our advertising playbook while adapting coaching to different rep styles and account dynamics
  • Serve as a strategic voice within the advertising leadership team, helping shape team structure and future hiring
  • Ensure your team understands how Demandbase’s advertising platform connects to broader ABM and B2B GTM strategies
  • Help expand the team from 5 to 6–7 ADs as we scale
  • Report to the VP of Advertising and collaborate closely with executive stakeholders across the business

What We’re Looking For

  • 7–10+ years of experience in ad tech, media sales, or digital advertising, with at least 3+ years managing client-facing sales teams
  • Proven ability to lead brand-direct sellers in complex, multi-threaded deal cycles involving procurement, legal, and multiple stakeholders
  • Experience coaching both senior and early-career sellers, with a track record of elevating team performance
  • Familiarity with DSPs and digital media platforms (e.g., The Trade Desk, StackAdapt); experience in B2B advertising a strong plus
  • Strong working knowledge of Salesforce; ability to use reporting and pipeline tools to inform coaching and performance reviews
  • Comfortable leading from the front—must be willing to get into the weeds and help reps navigate high-stakes customer conversations
  • Confident communicator who brings ideas to the table and is open to feedback
  • Familiarity with sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC, SPIN) and how to embed them into team development
  • Bonus: experience working within or adjacent to SaaS organizations or GTM ecosystems

 

Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, well-being, and financial security. Our employees enjoy up to 100% paid premiums for Medical and Vision coverage, ensuring access to top-tier care for you and your loved ones.
