Simply.TV is hiring a Key Account Executive to drive new revenue across the United States, with a strong focus on Tier 1 customers, including major streaming platforms, media groups, and digital-first content providers.

This is a pure hunter role. You will be responsible for identifying, prospecting, and closing new customers end-to-end, from first outreach to signed contract and handover to Customer Xperience. You will own your territory, build your own pipeline, and play a key role in expanding Simply.TV’s footprint in the US streaming ecosystem.

You’ll work closely with Product, Customer Xperience, and Marketing, but success in this role is driven by your ability to open doors, create urgency, and close complex, high-value deals.

• Identify, target, and close Tier 1 accounts, with a primary focus on streaming platforms and large media organizations

• Take full ownership of the sales cycle: discovery, solution positioning, commercial negotiation, and contract closure
• Maintain accurate forecasting, pipeline management, and CRM hygiene
• Act as a senior commercial ambassador for Simply.TV in the US market. Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and customer meetings
• Build long-term relationships with key decision-makers and influencers across the media and streaming landscape

• 3 to 7 years of experience in B2B sales, preferably within media, streaming, SaaS, data, or technology platforms
• A proven track record of closing new business with large, complex, enterprise customers
• Strong experience selling to Tier 1 accounts, ideally streaming platforms or large digital media companies
• A true hunter mindset — comfortable building your own pipeline and creating opportunities from scratch
• Experience managing long, consultative sales cycles and complex commercial negotiations
• Strong CRM discipline (e.g. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive)
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage senior stakeholders
• High degree of autonomy, ownership, and resilience in a target-driven environment

• Pipeline contribution in the U.S.
