Junior Account Executive - Agentio

About The Role

As Agentio’s third creator acquisition hire (role title: Creator Partnerships Lead), you will have the opportunity to make an incredible impact and lay the foundation of our creator sales and retention engine. Reporting directly to the VP of Creator Strategy, and working closely with the CEO & Head of Brand Sales, you will help construct the creator partnerships playbook and scale our creator acquisition initiatives. This role combines both strategy and execution; you'll start as an individual contributor with aggressive, but attainable goals and the expectation that you will generate and close a large creator pipeline, and you will be primed to grow into a leadership and management role as we scale.

Core Responsibilities:

• Scale Creator/Influencer Acquisition: Through direct and manager relationships, you'll own a large pipeline of brand-safe, high-converting creators with large, passionate fan bases on YouTube and elsewhere. You’ll need to be a prospecting wizard, able to stack your calendar with 25+ outbound meetings/week through a systematic, highly personalized prospecting process.

• Be a Thought Leader: Own an executive room and deliver a clear and concise pitch about the value that Agentio will bring to creators. Challenge current norms to instill confidence.

• Analytical and Operational Excellence: Stay highly organized and effectively build and manage a pipeline with detailed CRM updates. Evaluate vast amounts of industry and campaign data, extracting insights that inform future creator and campaign outreach strategies.

• Cross-functional Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement: Demonstrate exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, engaging with cross-functional teams (including leadership, sales, creator relations, and product development) to ensure alignment and successful execution of campaign objectives.

• Build The Foundation: Position yourself to help grow and lead the team when the timing is right. Help author the playbook for creator acquisition at Agentio, creating scalable processes for future team members.

Qualifications:

• 3-5+ years of high-volume sales or ideally creator-acquisition management and/or partnerships experience, at a fast-paced startup.
• Proven track record of exceeding aggressive sales targets and a history of winning. You have helped scale and build new revenue lines and/or teams, ideally in a start-up environment.
• A deep passion and understanding of the influencer/creator space.
• Ability to engage and partner directly with C-Level executives at management firms and the world's largest creators.
• Comfortable with traveling for work to conferences, weekend events, and frequent creator events

Personal Attributes:

• You are highly organized and demonstrate exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
• You are passionate about AI, have incorporated AI into your workflows, and are constantly looking for ways to better optimize your day-to-day through the latest AI/LLM tech.
• You demonstrate a growth mindset and are constantly looking to learn and grow in a fast-paced environment.
• You are able to work quickly, be nimble, and autonomously make impactful decisions.
• You are a true problem-solver and self-starter, with natural ambition and drive. No task is too small.
• You are competitive and highly motivated to exceed expectations with a collaborative spirit.
• You are ready to roll up your sleeves, get things done, and work harder than you’ve likely ever worked before, but for far greater reward.
• You are a positive, honest, empathetic, and curious teammate.

What You'll Get:

• The opportunity to build a first-of-its kind business as an early team-member and make a meaningful impact in the way brands share their stories and creators live off their work.
• Crash-course in what it takes to scale a start-up with first-hand exposure to the different foundational business drivers and needs.
• Competitive compensation package, including equity and competitive benefits (comprehensive healthcare - medical, dental, and vision; 401K plan; and other benefits)
• A collaborative, transparent, and engaging work environment.
• You understand that Agentio is building in-person, and is in-office (in Williamsburg) 5 days/week.

About Agentio:

Agentio is the first ad platform for creator content - we aim to transform the future of advertising. We believe that it should be as easy for brands to buy the most performant and efficient ad unit - starting with YouTube creator integrations - as buying Meta and Google ads. Before Agentio, this wasn’t possible. We have just closed our $12M Series A, led by Benchmark (Nov 2024), with follow-on investments from our Seed round co-leads, Craft and AlleyCorp. We have raised $16.25M to date. 

We're ushering in the future of brand and creator partnerships by enabling authenticity and trust to be purchased at scale. We aim to shift a meaningful portion of the $600B digital ad spend market to creators - to enable them to create, build, and live off their work. This isn’t possible without an ad platform that gives advertisers end-to-end automation, which reduces weeks-long processes to seconds. 

We believe that Agentio can be The Trade Desk of the future, and so much more. We’re looking for the world’s best talent to help us achieve our incredible ambitions, be instrumental in creating a strong culture, and earn ownership in a generational company.
