Job Description

Rumble is the Freedom-First technology platform. We proudly offer a video platform, cloud services, advertising solutions, and a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet.

Rumble is building a new kind of advertising platform at the intersection of creators, culture, and free expression. As we expand our advertising business, we are looking for a senior leader to establish and scale our West Coast presence from the ground up.

As Head of West Coast & Entertainment, you will act as the regional and vertical owner. Responsibilities would include building Rumble's advertising business across key West Coast markets, with a focus on entertainment, media, and culturally influential brands. This is a zero-to-one leadership role: you will define the go-to-market strategy, open key accounts, and build a high-performing team to scale revenue over time.

You will operate at both a strategic and executional level: personally closing foundational deals while shaping partnerships, influencing product direction, and establishing Rumble as a credible and differentiated player in the advertising ecosystem.

• Build and own Rumble's West Coast advertising business from the ground up, with a focus on entertainment and media verticals.

• Define and execute regional and vertical go-to-market strategy, including target accounts, agency partnerships, and revenue approach.

• Establish and grow senior relationships with key advertisers, agencies, studios, and entertainment stakeholders.

• Personally lead early-stage deal development and close foundational partnerships that anchor long-term revenue growth.

• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Creator, and Partnerships teams to shape offerings and bring new solutions to market.

• Identify strategic partnership opportunities that expand Rumble's presence within the entertainment and media ecosystem.

• Build, hire, and mentor a high-performing sales team, setting the foundation for long-term regional scale.

• Implement sales processes, pipeline management, and forecasting discipline as the business grows.

• Recruit, develop, and retain top sales talent across the West Coast.

• Act as a player-coach, balancing individual contribution with team leadership.

• Create a culture of accountability, ownership, and high performance.

• 10+ years of experience in digital advertising, enterprise sales, business development, or partnerships.

• Proven success building or scaling a region, vertical, or new line of business from early stages.

• Deep network across West Coast advertisers, agencies, studios, and entertainment industry decision-makers.

• Strong experience with strategic partnerships and complex deal structures, not just transactional media sales.

• Background in video, CTV, social platforms, or creator-driven ecosystems strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity and build structure where none exists.

• Executive presence with the ability to influence both external partners and internal stakeholders.

• Remote-eligible role with significant travel across the West Coast and key industry markets.

Why Our Team Loves Working Here:

• We are making a significant financial impact for our video creator community; we're proud of their success stories
• We enjoy challenging the status quo and going head-to-head against Big Tech
• We aren't afraid to try new things; we act fast and want to win
• We pay competitive salaries and provide great benefits
