Head of Financial Services Sales New York, NY (Hybrid)

The Opportunity

We are partnering exclusively with one of the most talked-about media companies in the market — a premium, high-growth platform that has redefined what it means to reach the people who actually run things.

This is not a quota-and-deck media sales role. It is a category-building commercial leadership position inside a brand that the most influential readers in finance, business, and policy have made a genuine daily habit.

The platform's audience is its product: senior executives, institutional investors, founders, operators, policymakers, and the people whose calls get returned. If your buyers care about reaching the right hundred people rather than the wrong million, this is the conversation worth having.

The Role

As Executive Sales Director for Financial Services, you will own and grow the most strategically important vertical on the platform. You will build a category from a position of genuine audience strength — bringing major financial brands into a media environment their targets already trust and read closely.

This means direct accountability for revenue growth, but also real commercial influence. You will shape how the platform goes to market with financial services advertisers, help define what partnership looks like in this category, and operate with significant autonomy inside a fast-moving, entrepreneurially minded leadership team.

What you will own:

• Revenue growth and category expansion across Financial Services, with full P&L visibility and no territorial ambiguity
• Strategic partnership development across banking, wealth management, asset management, fintech, investing, corporate reputation, and adjacent sectors
• The full sales cycle — from senior relationship development and prospecting through to close, renewal, and expansion
• New market identification and opening, including white-space categories and emerging advertiser segments
• Cross-functional collaboration with executive leadership, commercial strategy, creative, and editorial teams
• External representation of the brand at the most senior levels of the financial services advertising market

Who Fits This Role

The right person has spent their career selling in environments where audience quality and editorial credibility matter — and where the buyers are sophisticated enough to know the difference.

You have built books of business in premium media, financial information services, publishing, or adjacent environments. You know how to develop a category, not just work one. You are the kind of seller who wins by making the strategic case, not by discounting.

Specifically, you bring:

• 8+ years of digital media sales experience with a consistent track record of exceeding revenue targets
• Deep existing relationships across Financial Services advertisers, agencies, and senior marketing decision-makers
• Experience in premium media, subscription publishing, financial information services, or comparable environments
• A builder's orientation — you have opened new markets, created partnerships from scratch, and grown categories others had not fully developed
• Executive presence and a consultative approach grounded in relationships, not transactions

What Makes This Worth Your Attention

• Category ownership — you run Financial Services end to end, with real commercial authority
• Audience that sells itself — the platform's readership is a genuine competitive advantage in client conversations
• Equity participation — meaningful upside in a company with real momentum
• Compensation: $240K – $360K OTE
• Direct exposure to top editorial talent and senior leadership
• A brand in the ascent — this is the moment to be inside it, not watching from the outside

If this matches where you want to be in your career, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
