The Sales Director - AIP North America is responsible for the commercial success of the Attention Intelligence Platform (AIP) in the region, alongside a global team of attention experts. Sales Directors are enterprise level sellers who have experience and deep knowledge of the online media landscape, the advertising community and know how to navigate and manage the agency holding companies. They have both bottom-up and top-down stakeholder channels on the agency side and can drive our goal to become the preferred supplier in attention measurement and optimization for these customers within the region.

The Sales Director will be highly connected within media agencies, a gifted orator, deeply knowledgeable about digital media and have a flair for enterprise selling. A self starter: driven and restless. 

Sales Directors have the support and guidance of the Head of AIP Commercial, as well as a team of product, technology and customer success experts who will help you deliver significant contracts.

Note: GumGum currently operates in a ‘work from home’ virtual environment with sporadic opportunities for in-person business and morale events (health guidelines permitting). There will not be any requirement to go into the office on a daily basis moving forward.
