Rokt•New York, NY

1d•$100,000 - $135,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Rokt Ads is a unique performance marketing channel helping advertisers diversify spend away from legacy platforms—without compromising on performance. We are still a small share of the overall digital performance ecosystem, which means our highest-leverage opportunity is to make working with Rokt effortless and undeniably valuable. You'll drive revenue by securing strategic partnerships with premium advertisers and helping them unlock new monetization value from their most engaged audiences. You'll need to understand the digital advertising ecosystem, navigate multi-stakeholder media organizations, and position Rokt Ads as a strategic growth partner. You'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close, working closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to bring tailored ad solutions to market. You'll develop deep expertise in your vertical, becoming a trusted advisor who can speak credibly to CROs, Head of Monetization, and technical decision-makers alike. Your ability to synthesize and represent publisher feedback will directly shape our product roadmap. We're looking for someone deeply curious, who leads with conviction and thrives when things move fast and change often

Requirements

4+ years of experience in sales, account management, performance marketing, or consultative commercial roles (experience with performance advertisers, agencies, or adtech/martech strongly preferred).
Proven ability to drive commercial expansion within an existing portfolio (e.g., growing budgets, renewing and expanding scope, multi-threading senior stakeholder relationships).
Strong performance marketing fluency: ability to discuss and problem-solve against ROAS/CPA, incrementality/attribution concepts, measurement design, and channel comparability with sophisticated teams.
Excellent executive communication and presence: able to run high-stakes meetings, influence without authority, and create clarity across complex stakeholder groups.
Builder mindset and operational discipline: you proactively remove friction, create scalable playbooks, and thrive in a fast-changing environment where priorities shift based on customer and business needs.
Willingness to be in the NYC office at least 4 days per week and to travel 20–30% of the time.
