Head of Sales

Creator Deck is a modern marketing and media company. Launched in 2008, we are pioneers in the high growth influencer industry, serving some of the most prestigious brands in apparel, beauty, beverage, and arts. We are guided by our core values: to Show Care, Build Credibility, Make an Impact, Think Towards the Future, and Be Genuine.

THE TEAM

Creator Deck was founded to create an authentic, fair, empathetic, and diverse space for creativity and collaboration. These elements have remained core to us as we’ve grown. We look for people who can think disruptively and meet challenges with a fierce creative spirit. Our team unites a diverse group of people from various backgrounds, who enjoy the collaborative, creative processes that go into making anything - from a single post, to a comprehensive marketing strategy, to a fully fledged brand.

The Role

Over the past year demand for our services has skyrocketed and we currently have more work than people to handle it. It’s a good problem to have, and one we hope you can help us with. 

We’re seeking a skilled and ambitious Head of Sales to join our team and help steer the ship through this time of growth.

• Identify and implement improvements in sales workflows, CRM utilization, and sales enablement tools to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
• Represent the company as the lead negotiator in contract negotiations 
• Hold primary responsibility for the client experience
• Develop new clients by following up on referrals and warm leads and hunting for new contacts
• Hit sales quotas for agency offerings
• As part of the leadership team, strategize to set smart sales goals and shape the growth of the company
