About The Position

Nexstar's advertising business continues to evolve across broadcast, digital, streaming, sponsorships and data-driven marketing solutions. At FOX40, this position will play an important role in supporting a local sales team as the complexity and volume of integrated advertising opportunities continue to grow. The Client Solutions Specialist will help bridge Sales, Digital, Research and Creative - making it easier for our Account Executives to bring sophisticated solutions to market while ensuring those opportunities are effectively coordinated and executed. The goal is simple: help our sellers spend more time selling, help our teams execute more efficiently, and help FOX40 create, grow and retain revenue. Nexstar Media Group's FOX40 is seeking a highly organized, creative and solutions-oriented Sales & Digital Solutions Specialist to support a team of local Account Executives and help drive the continued growth of our broadcast, digital, streaming, sponsorship and integrated advertising business. Although this role includes traditional sales support duties (order entry, revisions and WideOrbit traffic coordination) it goes beyond traditional sales support. As advertising solutions become increasingly multi-platform, this position will help connect our sales team with the research, digital capabilities, sponsorship opportunities, creative resources and internal expertise needed to develop and execute effective client solutions. Working closely with Sales leadership, Account Executives, Digital, Research, Commercial Production and Nexstar resources, the Sales & Digital Solutions Specialist will help move opportunities from idea to proposal to execution - while creating processes and materials that allow our sellers to spend more time selling.
