Works closely with the Corporate Relations Executive to meet client deliverables. This is a mix of broadcast and digital advertising, trade agreements and underwriting sponsorships intended to accelerate the impact of various programs and station initiatives.

Responsible for managing and renewing an existing client base, prospecting new accounts, creating visually appealing and well-written proposals and delivering solid presentations. An important aspect of the role is effective communication with a variety of people on different levels both internally and externally.  This individual must have excellent written and oral communications skills, as well as experience using CRM software. Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required.  One year experience generating revenue, preferably in the broadcast industry or high profile creative community programs, in a partner-facing role preferred.
