• Existing relationships in the media & entertainment industry are a major plus.
• AI proficiency and adaptability.
• Data-driven and growth mindset: use metrics, pipelines, forecasts, and customer feedback to sharpen your approach.
• Great communicator - you can tell a story, pitch value, respond to objections, and build trust quickly.
