Senior Managing Director

About Us

Applecart is the leading technology company creating a new category of “Decision Maker Marketing”. The most important decisions are made by the hardest people to reach and influence. Historically, C-suite leaders have lacked the tools to reach the stakeholders that matter most to their business. The C-suites of hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, major agencies, trade associations, nonprofits, and governments use Applecart to put their best content in front of business-critical decision makers and those they trust —  from policymakers and investors to CEOs, key employees, members of the media and more. Decision makers are informed by what they read, learn from advisors, hear from colleagues, and discuss with family and friends. To break through to them, you must reach them through the only channel that really moves them: those they know and trust. Applecart’s platform uses publicly available or fully permissioned data to map billions of social relationships between nearly every American adult and enable clients to deliver content directly to decision makers and those that matter most to them. 

We are hiring multiple Senior Managing Directors in New York City to fuel our growth.

About the Role:

You will be responsible for managing Applecart’s relationship with existing and new clients, which include the C-Suites of Fortune 500 companies and leading trade associations, advocacy organizations, non-profits, and investment firms. Our clients expect exceptional results from Applecart’s platform and thoughtful, strategic counsel from our Senior Managing Directors, who educate our clients and prospects on how Applecart’s platform will help them achieve their most important objectives and solve their most challenging problems. 

Applecart’s Senior Managing Directors are seasoned strategic leaders in communications, government relations, politics, or investor relations and/or C-suite advisory veterans. If you’re thrilled by the prospect of bringing cutting edge technology to the C-Suite, changing how Fortune 500 companies and other leading organizations manage their brand with their most important stakeholders, and are willing to roll up your sleeves, take on a new challenge, own equity in a fast-growing startup, and earn uncapped performance compensation, this may be the last job you ever take.

What You’ll Do

• You’ll manage C-suite relationships with some of the most prominent and sophisticated companies and other leading organizations across the full lifecycle of an Applecart engagement, including pitching, advising on strategy and managing the relationship post-sale, and demonstrating results to extend and expand our relationship with clients.
• You’ll work with our senior advisors and product leaders to educate C-Suite clients and potential clients about all the different ways Applecart’s platform can enable them to impact their business’ most important outcomes.
• Leveraging your unique qualifications, you will connect Applecart's value proposition to solving our clients' most important C-Suite challenges - driving successful outcomes for our clients and increasing revenue for Applecart.
• You’ll closely follow news, regulatory filings and other media, looking for every opportunity to create value for clients in a timely way.
• You’ll be our clients’ expert on-call, serving as a senior strategist, counselor and primary executive-level point of contact to decision makers at the highest levels of Fortune 500 corporate affairs teams.
• You’ll coordinate internal resources to deliver results that exceed client expectations, and you’ll bring in resources external to Applecart where and as necessary to maximize client chances of success.

Experiences and Capabilities You Bring:

• You have significant and deep experience being the “point person” in the room with C-level executives (or equivalent-level personae in other fields, such as senior elected officials), counseling them (and sometimes challenging them to think differently) in connection with high-stakes challenges and decisions. Some work experiences you may have had:
  • You have counseled Fortune 500 companies in corporate communications, external relations, government relations, investor relations, brand marketing, and/or public affairs as an external consultant where you were the primary relationship manager for C-Suite clients and fully responsible for revenue generation and growth with respect to those clients;
  • You have yourself been a Chief Communications Officer, Head of Government Relations, Head of Investor Relations, or other senior stakeholder; 
  • You have been a senior staff member for elected officials or other policymakers; 
  • You have been a senior multi-client lobbyist;
  • You have served in
