• Revenue Targets: Consistently meet and exceed quarterly and annual revenue quotas through proactive market engagement.

2. Relationship Management & Network Building

• Consultative Selling: Lead high-impact meetings using powerful storytelling to demonstrate the unique value of the Overwolf ecosystem.

• Trusted Advisor: Serve as a subject matter expert for clients, helping them navigate the nuances of the gaming audience.

3. Proposal Development & Storytelling

• Insights-Driven Sales: Use data-driven insights to show brands how they can successfully engage with the modding and in-game app community.

• Industry Leadership: Stay at the forefront of ad-tech and gaming trends to ensure Overwolf remains the preferred platform for West Coast advertisers.

4. Internal Collaboration & Campaign Excellence

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Collaborate closely with Product, Ad Ops, and Marketing teams to ensure campaigns are executed to perfection.

• Performance Tracking: Monitor campaign performance in real-time, delivering detailed insights and growth strategies to partners post-campaign.

• Feedback Loop: Provide the Product team with market feedback to help shape the future of Overwolf’s advertising tools and self-serve platforms.

Requirements: The Ideal Candidate

• Industry Tenure: 5+ years in digital media sales, specifically within the gaming, esports, or entertainment sectors.

• Network Depth: Deep experience working with major publishers and agencies (e.g., Blizzard, Riot, Liquid, Patrol, Eisenberg).

• Technical Proficiency: A strong understanding of biddable media, programmatic buying, and self-serve ad platforms.

• Communication Mastery: Exceptional storytelling skills with the ability to present confidently to C-level executives.

• Mindset: Comfortable navigating fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments with a “builder’s mindset” and high level of autonomy.

• Gamer DNA: A genuine passion for gaming and an intuitive grasp of the modding/creator ecosystem.

Working Conditions & Environment

• High-Growth Culture: Overwolf is a fast-paced environment where results are celebrated and initiative is expected.
