The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in client-direct, senior-level advertising and partnership sales, a deep understanding of the media landscape, and the ability to cultivate and maintain strong partner relationships.ÂÂ

You can work virtually from home or another non‑Best Buy location on Friday. The recruiter or hiring manager will provide more details during the hiring process.

- Drive strategic marketing program sales by developing, directing, and executing client proposals.Â
- Solicit client feedback to understand how to drive a continuous cycle of learning and improvement.Â
Basic qualificationsÂ
