Territory Sales Executive
About The Position
LocaliQ, powered by the USA TODAY Network, helps businesses grow by combining advanced marketing technology, trusted audience reach, and expertise to deliver results. In this role, you will work at the intersection of digital marketing and a trusted media network, assisting businesses in connecting with customers across the full marketing funnel. You will partner with clients to understand their goals, build strategies that integrate performance-driven digital solutions with the USA TODAY Network's reach, and deliver measurable outcomes. This is an opportunity to join a team that focuses on driving real business growth through a mix of solutions. The Account Executive role is a consultative, relationship-driven sales position for individuals who enjoy managing the entire sales cycle, from prospecting for new business to growing existing accounts. You will actively seek new business while also managing, growing, and expanding a portfolio of clients. Responsibilities include creating tailored marketing strategies, guiding businesses from initial contact through ongoing performance discussions, and identifying opportunities to strengthen partnerships over time. You will act as a trusted marketing partner, balancing new business development with client retention, upselling, and account expansion to maximize long-term client value. The role is supported by a post-sales team that handles campaign performance, optimization, and reporting, along with additional resources like the Data and Insights team and Client Strategists. In the first 90 days, you will gain proficiency in LocaliQ's solutions, tools, and sales approach, developing effective prospecting and discovery habits. By the end of this period, you will be managing your territory and sales cycle independently, with the necessary support and coaching for long-term success.
