About the team

As a member of the Marketing team, you will be on a small but growing team responsible for managing and growing Sovrn’s marketing presence.

• Working to create and define metrics and dashboards that measure the performance of the Marketing and Sales teams
• Driving our marketing database strategy by analyzing gaps in our data, guiding contact acquisition strategy, developing and enforcing practices that ensure data quality, and measuring database health
• Driving the pipeline planning, budgeting, forecasting, and ROI processes

Above all, you’re not afraid to take responsibility for guiding your projects from start to finish.

About Sovrn

We spend a great deal of our time online. Whether it’s for information, commerce, or entertainment, each of us has come to depend on what we research, discover, and share. Publishers – those who create and curate content – are what makes the Internet great. Yet these publishers practice their craft largely alone, in silos – without reference points or insightful understanding about where they sit in the grand scheme of things. To add to the challenge, once a Publisher’s content is in the wild, then the task of building engagement, growing a loyal following and enriching the engagement with that following can sometimes feel like shots in the dark or worse, a black box. Moreover, making money from their craft can be a complex task for any independent publisher who might prioritize generating content first and money second.

Sovrn believes that independent publishers are the Internet's vibrancy. As a partner and advocate to tens of thousands of independent publishers, Sovrn provides tools, technologies and services that help publishers (a) make money; (b) get distribution to grow their audience; and (c) access a massive data commons providing extraordinary insights.

The landscape of content networks, adtech vendors, and the myriad of buy-side / sell-side companies can be a complete maze for any reasonable person to decipher. Sovrn cuts through the noise and simplifies things with a basic, straightforward mission:

Help content creators do more of what they want to do – and less of what they don’t
