- Proven ability to build and grow senior executive relationships (c-suits and VPs) across advertisers and agencies.
- Exceptional consultative selling and negotiation skills, including experience leading annual deal conversations, influencing cross-functional stakeholders, and creating mutual accountability with partners.
- Challenger mindset and executive presence, with willingness to challenge assumptions, and guide decision-makers toward better strategic outcomes.
- Platform and ecosystem fluency across digital advertising, including social, search, app performance, and/or measurement platforms; familiarity with Pinterest Ads Manager and comparable platforms is highly desirable.
- Experience leading complex, cross-functional programs, with a track record of mobilizing teams across Product, Engineering, Measurement, Creative, and Sales to solve open-ended client challenges.
- Ability to influence and co-build product development, ideally through direct partnership with Product and Engineering teams to represent client needs and shape platform capabilities.

Relocation Statement:
- This position is not eligible for relocation assistance.
