Sr. Sales Director, Buyer Cloud

Comcast • New York, NY

4d • $166,980 - $250,471

About The Position

FreeWheel, a Comcast company, provides comprehensive ad platforms for publishers, advertisers, and media buyers. Powered by premium video content, robust data, and advanced technology, we’re making it easier for buyers and sellers to transact across all screens, data types, and sales channels. As a global company, we have offices in nine countries and can insert advertisements around the world.

About the Role

You'll own revenue growth for Buyer Cloud, FreeWheel's demand-side platform, across a portfolio of major agency holding companies and Fortune 500 brand-direct accounts. On the agency side, you'll work closely with trading desk and agency leadership to expand how much programmatic spend runs through Buyer Cloud. On the brand-direct side, you'll build and manage relationships with in-house marketing and media teams at large advertisers evaluating or scaling their own DSP usage. The mix of accounts you manage may shift over time as our broader go-to-market strategy evolves, so we're looking for someone who can move fluidly across both agency and brand-direct sales motions rather than someone wedded to a single type of account.

This is a senior seller role that occasionally touches technical territory: you may be asked to speak to integration questions, including Buyer Cloud's MCP server and programmatic API capabilities, so comfort in those conversations (not hands-on platform or trading experience) is helpful.

You'll partner closely with Agency Partnerships, Product, and Product/Sales Marketing to shape go-to-market strategy and deliver a best-in-class client experience.
