Teads is a leading omnichannel advertising platform connecting quality media, creative, and addressability for brand and performance advertisers. The company partners with 10,000+ publishers and 20,000+ advertisers globally, with ~1,700 employees across 30+ countries.
This Account Executive role is based in Chicago and focuses on driving growth across the Independent agency ecosystem. You will serve as the primary strategic commercial partner for mid-sized to large independent media and digital agencies (e.g., Horizon Media, pmg, Tinuiti, Known, VaynerMedia) and brand-direct accounts.
Your core mission is to expand Teads' commercial footprint and accelerate revenue growth. You will manage the complete commercial lifecycle—from navigating complex agency trading desks to delivering consultative pitches and driving ongoing campaign performance. Success means achieving regional revenue targets, deepening partner adoption across CTV, online video, display, and programmatic solutions, and maximizing client renewal rates.
Key responsibilities include identifying and closing high-potential revenue opportunities; establishing deep, multi-threaded relationships across independent agency structures (from programmatic trading desks to executive leadership); educating agency partners on Teads' offerings; aligning the product portfolio with evolving client needs; partnering with internal teams (Insights, Customer Experience, Technical Solutions) to execute campaigns; maintaining disciplined sales pipeline hygiene in CRM systems; and analyzing operational inputs like RFPs and performance metrics to optimize account growth.
You will bring 3–5 years of proven digital media sales experience, ideally in video, CTV, or programmatic channels. A strong existing network across Independent agencies and direct advertiser contacts is essential, along with solid understanding of CTV, OLV, digital display, and programmatic buying. Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills are required. You are proactive, collaborative, self-directed, and comfortable navigating the fast-moving adtech landscape.
