Brand Partner, Consumer

NEW YORK, NY /BRAND PARTNERSHIPS /FULL-TIME

Hey there! We’re Morning Brew- a bunch of smart, dedicated people focused on disrupting and redefining the traditional business news landscape. Also, we’re nice and have great swag. We are looking for a Brand Partner, Consumer to join our team. 

While this position is based in New York City, office colocation will be contingent on stay-at-home orders; until then, all employees are working remotely.

It's our goal to make the business world more engaging for the modern business leader. How? By giving our audience the news they need in a way they actually enjoy. Across newsletters, podcasts, social, and (soon) even more, we're building something special.

Want in? Read on.

Overview

Morning Brew's Brand Partners are a group of entrepreneurial hustlers that build truly consultative partnerships with brands and agencies, alike. 

We’re seeking a relentlessly motivated and proven seller who is ready to roll up their sleeves, think outside of the box, and get creative with branded and custom partnerships. This role is perfect for some whose default setting is to take action, and who loves working towards (and beating) tangible and measurable revenue goals. This will be achieved through some combination of leveraging deep agency and/or brand connections as well as pounding the pavement and introducing the Brew to a wide array of brands and advertisers.

This is not a typical sales role. Just as we provide the best daily business experience to our readers, we work tirelessly to understand the marketing goals of our advertisers, and develop creative and tailored campaigns that WOW our brand partners without jeopardizing the quality of our voice and brand.

The Brand Partner will report directly into the Sr. Director of Brand Partnerships (Consumer), within the Revenue Org. This is an integral role that will sit within Morning Brew's Brand Partnerships team. 

Here’s what you’ll be working on:

This role will be working specifically on our consumer brands across a variety of categories.

What makes you qualified?

- Significant professional digital or integrated media sales experience (6+ years of media experience; 3+ years of direct media sales experience)

- History of meeting and exceeding sales quotas as a result of the sale of complex deals.

- Strong foundation of deep/meaningful client (brand and agency) relationships. You will be expected to quickly initiate quality conversations, RFP inclusion and/or other immediate revenue-generating opportunities.

- Thorough understanding of the full sales cycle and digital media operations. This includes researching, prospecting, outreach, pitching, negotiating, and closing deals.

- Ability to lead and close an RFP process, creating tailored partner proposals that include: native digital content, audio integrations, long-form content, social media & virtual event sponsorships.

- Forecast, track and report on sales performance, meeting quarterly targets set by management.

- Excellent verbal, written and presentation skills. Creativity is also a must.

- Passion for and belief in Morning Brew, its mission and its franchises and products.

What else are we looking for?

A person with some good ‘ol values! We take that pretty serious here and want to make sure that whoever joins the Morning Brew team, believes in that too. If you had a cup of coffee with our employees, you would see that we are:

·       Curious - We strive to learn every day through constant questioning and exploration.

·       Purposeful – We do everything with the highest level of thoughtfulness, preparation and focus.

·       Empathetic - We are good, genuine people who embrace others' perspectives.

·       Challengers - We approach every day with an underdog mentality and are never complacent.

Perks:

While being surrounded by a bunch of cool people who look great in crewnecks is its own reward, we thought we'd sweeten the pot even more with some perks:

Annual Learning Credit: Want to learn something new? We'll pay for it.

Unlimited Sick and Vacation Time: And trust us, unlimited means UNLIMITED.

Remote Work Optional: Work from home, work from the office, work from the moon, you decide.

401(k) Employer Match: Helping you be ready for the future in the present.

Premium Healthcare Partially Covered by Employer: Trying to make getting sick less awful.

Work From Home Stipends: Upgrade your home office on us!

Morning Brew is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that’s representative of our audience.
