About the Role

Jpixx is a well-established creative video agency ready to make our first dedicated sales hire. We’ve grown for 13 years through reputation and referrals — now we’re ready to expand intentionally into new commercial markets and government sectors.

You don’t need to be a government sales expert, but you do need to be confident navigating new opportunities, building pipeline from scratch, and helping us shape a scalable sales foundation.

If you’re a relationship-driven AE who loves prospecting, presenting, and opening doors, and you can offer light strategic input to improve how we sell and position ourselves — this role is for you.

You’re the Right Fit If You Are:

Scrappy & entrepreneurial

You can create pipeline from scratch and thrive without layers of structure.

Experienced selling creative or intangible services

Agency, production, media, digital, SaaS selling — anything where you sold ideas, not products.

Comfortable with government sales (basics only)

If you’ve dealt with regulated industries, RFPs, long cycles, or procurement — you’ll be fine.

A challenger-style seller

You ask smart questions, influence decisions, and confidently present perspectives.

A natural connector & presenter

People like you, trust you, and remember you. You’re fearless about meeting new people.

A proven AE

You have experience closing deals, hitting targets, managing pipeline, and leading deals start to finish.

Hungry for growth

You want to help build something, not sit inside a rigid corporate structure.

Core Responsibilities

1. Prospecting & Lead Generation (your #1 priority)

• Identify and reach out to commercial, nonprofit, government, and enterprise prospects
• Build pipeline through outreach, networking, and follow-up
• Open doors and get us into the right conversations

2. Presentations, Pitches & Discovery

• Present capabilities clearly and confidently
• Help clients understand our creative approach

3. Proposal, Scoping & Deal Management

• Negotiate budgets and terms

4. Government & Public-Sector Opportunities

• Qualify which are worth pursuing
• Support submissions (you won’t do them alone)

5. Client Relationship Building

• Maintain communication early on
• Ensure smooth handoff to production
• Identify upsell and ongoing opportunities

Light Strategic Input (Not Marketing Ownership)

You won't run marketing — but your insights matter. We’d love someone who can:

• Spot opportunities to strengthen our messaging and sales materials
• Suggest improvements to pitches, website copy, or case studies
• Share what buyers care about and what resonates
• Offer ideas on outreach, targeting, or positioning

This is guidance, not operational responsibility.

✘ manage full projects
✘ run marketing campaigns
✘ write long RFPs alone
✘ oversee social media
✘ create creative briefs
✘ close $1M+ deals without support
