Sales Director, New Business & Strategic Growth – Reputation Radar
About The Position
Storyful is the world's leading social and narrative intelligence company. As Storyful enters its next phase of growth alongside Dow Jones, we are expanding our enterprise reputation intelligence capabilities through Dow Jones Reputation Radar—a next-generation intelligence platform powered by Storyful and Factiva. Dow Jones Reputation Radar helps communications and corporate affairs leaders understand narrative traction, identify drivers of legitimacy and amplification, predict reputational pressure, and determine appropriate organizational responses. This is a unique opportunity to join at an early stage and help build a category-defining reputation intelligence business backed by the scale, credibility, and market reach of Dow Jones. We are seeking an entrepreneurial and commercially sophisticated Sales Director, New Business & Strategic Growth to help establish Dow Jones Reputation Radar as the market-leading reputation intelligence platform. This is a senior, quota-carrying commercial role with responsibility for driving enterprise growth, shaping market strategy, and helping define an emerging category. You will build pipelines, develop strategic client relationships, and close complex enterprise opportunities while also partnering closely with Product, Marketing, and Executive Leadership to shape go-to-market strategy, market positioning, pricing, category creation, and commercial execution based on customer insight and market dynamics. Success requires a consultative approach: the ability to navigate complex buying environments, engage credibly with senior stakeholders, and translate Dow Jones Reputation Radar's capabilities into clear commercial and strategic value for clients. You will work across commercial, intelligence, and product teams to bring customer insight into product evolution, positioning, and go-to-market execution while helping establish Dow Jones Reputation Radar as the trusted intelligence platform for communications and corporate affairs leaders. This role offers a rare opportunity to help define how organizations operationalize reputation intelligence while leveraging the combined capabilities of Storyful, Dow Jones, and News Corp.
