Director Of Sales - Kttc
About The Position
Are you a high-energy sales leader who thrives on the "win" but loves the coaching even more? Do you believe that the best ideas aren't born in a boardroom, but out on the streets with your team and local business owners? We’re looking for a Director of Sales to lead the most experienced marketing team in the region. At KTTC and KXLT, the most trusted news leader in the market and home of the North Star Sports & Entertainment Network, we don’t just sell ads; we build brands across broadcast, digital, and sports platforms. If you’re ready to own the market and drive innovation in an audience-first world, we want to meet you.
Requirements
- 10+ years of media sales experience: You know this industry inside and out, and you have the track record to prove it.
- An audience-first perspective: You understand that "media" means everywhere the audience is, and you’re comfortable selling and strategizing across broadcast and digital platforms.
- Inventory management expertise: You have a sharp eye for media inventory and know how to maximize revenue while delivering value.
- Management chops: You’ve led teams before (or you’re more than ready to) and you know how to inspire, challenge, and support your people.
- A love for the "hustle": You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty and be active in the community. Networking is your second language.
- Collaborative spirit: You believe the best results come from working together, whether that’s with the newsroom or the corporate digital team.
- Strategic vision: You can see the big picture and translate it into actionable plans that drive ROI for our clients and growth for our stations.

- Partner with the most trusted news team in the market to create high-impact opportunities for local businesses to connect with our loyal audience.
- Lead our political marketing efforts for national and local races, navigating the fast-paced world of political inventory and strategy.
