About The Position

Firefly is seeking a seasoned, executive-level sales leader to join as Sales Director based in Los Angeles. This senior role is built for a high-impact seller who brings deep-rooted relationships across major entertainment studios, agency holding companies, and premium West Coast advertisers — and who knows how to translate those relationships into long-term, strategic revenue partnerships. This is not an entry point into media sales. We're looking for someone who has a seat at the table with decision-makers at the studio level as well as strong footing within the agency ecosystem. You understand how entertainment marketers think, how tentpole campaigns are built, and how to position Firefly's unique media platform as an essential part of the mix. As a Director on our West region team, you will serve as one of Firefly's most visible market leaders — shaping strategy, closing enterprise-level deals, and helping define what premium partnership looks like in our fastest-growing region.
