The Role

We are looking for an Account Executive - Newsletter Sales, to help grow advertising revenue across our newsletter portfolio. This role focuses on outbound sales, top-of-funnel generation, sponsorship prospecting, closing, and building a repeatable pipeline of advertisers and partners.

This role is for someone who is not just good at sales but who works in an AI-native way every day.

We want someone who actively uses Claude and AI tools daily and is highly comfortable using AI to automate, accelerate, and improve core sales workflows. That includes prospect research, account prioritization, contact discovery, outbound support, personalization, follow-up drafting, sales process organization, and overall top-of-funnel execution.

This is not a traditional sales role built around fully manual work. We are specifically looking for someone who naturally thinks, “How can I use AI to do this faster, better, and at a greater scale?” The right candidate will combine strong sales instincts with AI fluency and a constant drive to improve efficiency through systems, prompts, and workflow automation.

What You’ll Do

• Own outbound sponsorship sales efforts across Mode.Inc Media’s newsletter brands
• Build a pipeline by identifying relevant advertisers, agencies, and sponsorship partners
• Generate top-of-funnel activity through research, prospecting, and outbound execution
• Use Claude daily to improve and accelerate sales workflows
• Use AI to support list building, prospect research, targeting, outreach preparation, personalization, follow-up drafting, and sales process management
• Create repeatable AI-assisted workflows that help scale outbound volume without sacrificing quality
• Identify better ways to automate sales development work and reduce manual effort
• Work with leadership to refine prospect lists, outreach angles, packaging, and prioritization
• Stay close to our brands, audiences, and sponsorship offerings so outreach is relevant and well-positioned
• Maintain strong organization across outreach, pipeline, and prospect activity
• Help build a more scalable, AI-enabled outbound engine for newsletter sponsorship revenue

Who You Are

• Experience in sales, business development, media sales, advertising sales, sponsorships, partnerships, or newsletter monetization
• Strong outbound prospecting ability and comfort building a pipeline from scratch
• A genuinely AI-native working style, not just surface-level familiarity with AI tools
• Daily Claude users strongly preferred.  You will also be provided access to AI tools.
• Experience using Claude or similar tools to support real sales work, not just general writing
• Clear ability to use AI to improve research, workflow speed, personalization, top-of-funnel output, and sales execution
• Strong written English and the ability to create effective, concise outbound messaging
• Highly organized, resourceful, and able to operate independently
• Comfortable testing new prompts, workflows, and systems to improve results over time
• Able to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with a strong bias toward action
• Alignment with our core values:
  
  • ​​Accountable: You take ownership of your responsibilities, demonstrating trustworthiness and self-discipline. You are consistent in your work, transparent in your actions, and communicate effectively. You follow through on commitments and strive for continuous improvement.
  • Action-driven: Identify what is most important, agree on scope, execute in a timely manner, and drive the greatest impact.  You take initiative, roll up your sleeves, and get things done.
  • Caring: You genuinely care about yourself and others, our business and craft, our mission and vision, and are passionate in heart and mind. You understand the importance of our team and strive to create a positive, supportive work environment.
  • Curious: You focus on the ‘why,’ learn and expand your knowledge, explore new ideas, and generally make things better.  You're a lifelong learner with a thirst for knowledge and a constant desire to improve.
  • Thorough: Your work is thoughtful, impactful, timely, accurate, and complete.  You pay attention to detail, are meticulous, and ensure quality work and compliance.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a strong salesperson who already works with AI as part of their daily operating rhythm. They do not see Claude as a novelty or occasional assistant. They use it regularly to help them move faster, stay organized, increase output, and improve the quality of their work.

They understand that modern outbound sales can be significantly improved by AI when used well, and they are excited to help build that capability into the sales motion from the ground up.

They are proactive, experimental, and always looking for ways to make prospecting and top-of-funnel generation more scalable and more effective.

Why Join Us

You’ll help grow sponsorship revenue across a portfolio of media brands in attractive categories, including finance, consumer savings, crypto, and AI. You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape how AI is used inside the sales process, making this a strong fit for someone who wants to combine revenue generation with modern, AI-enabled execution.
