VentureBeat is looking for an experienced, creative and driven media salesperson to be our Director of Sales.

The successful candidate will work closely with founder Matt Marshall and VentureBeat’s business development manager to lead a revenue growth strategy that expands beyond standard advertising and into custom sponsorship packages, events and syndication deals like the one we have with the New York Times.

We’ve got some interesting projects brewing, which we’ll be talking about in coming weeks. Our growing audience consists of the decision-makers and power-brokers of the technology startup world. Our events attract high-caliber speakers and attendees. We’re looking for someone who can translate our brand strength into compelling value propositions for top-quality brands and advertisers.

The ideal candidate has five to ten years of experience and an outstanding Rolodex and track record.

Interested candidates should send a resume and cover letter to jobs@venturebeat.com.
