About The Position

KHON2, KHII and Hawaii's CW are home to Hawaii's #1 local news and produce beloved local programs. In addition to our broadcast platforms, we offer KHON2.com, KHON+ streaming/CTV, and advanced digital marketing solutions, providing advertisers with multiplatform reach across broadcast, streaming, digital, and social. We are seeking a driven, relationship-minded sales professional to help local businesses grow by leveraging our broadcast and digital portfolio and the trust our brand has earned over 70+ years. The Multiplatform Sales Account Executive generates advertising revenue by building relationships with established agencies, cold-calling new prospects, and educating clients on how broadcast, digital, streaming, and integrated marketing solutions can foster business growth. You will collaborate with local sales management to develop customized, results-driven campaigns across all platforms, with ongoing professional development support. This is primarily a sales role. Additionally, individuals comfortable on camera have the opportunity to host sponsored-content segments for broadcast and create branded content for social, digital, and our KHON+ CTV app on Living808, our premier lifestyle program. This offers a unique advantage for sellers, allowing them to bring clients' stories to life and create opportunities beyond standard pitches. We seek candidates with a positive, can-do attitude, a strong work ethic, and a genuine desire to build win-win client partnerships.
