At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Global Account Director to play a key role in our Revenue Team in New York. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.
Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔
As our Global Account Director you’ll be part of our Global Tech team working with the world’s most recognizable tech and corporate brands. Reporting into the VP of Global Tech Platforms, this role will require you to deeply understand your clients challenges and position GWI’s data & insight as a solution to drive key business initiatives and broader strategies. You will be required to build strong and trusting client relationships identifying new opportunities for expansion and revenue growth..
It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.
What do I need to bring with me? 🧳
You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:
👉 A kind, considerate and collaborative mindset. This team has cultivated an exceptional culture, and we are seeking an individual who will make a positive contribution to it.
👉 Proven experience in an enterprise sales role.
👉 Proven experience within a consumer research or media ad sales role.
👉 Strong understanding of the advertising/media ecosystem.
👉 Strategic thinker with the ability to identify and capitalise on revenue opportunities, drive business growth, and exceed targets.

👉 Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and trust with clients at all levels.
👉 Strong negotiation skills with the ability to manage large scale contracts across disparate organisations.
Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.
