▷ [3 Days Left] Sales Manager – Digital Ads (Entertainment Publishers & Social Pages)

About the Role

You’ll drive ad revenues across our entertainment network—film / celebrity news sites, Instagram pages, YouTube channels, Snapchat shows, and partner inventories. From brand briefs to closed deals, you’ll package creator / page reach, branded content, AFP / integrations, and media (CPM / CPV / CPC) into solutions advertisers love.

What You’ll Do

• Own a revenue book : Prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close direct deals with studios, OTTs, FMCG, fashion, tech, auto, fintech, and agencies (GroupM, Publicis, IPG, Dentsu, Madison, Havas, etc.).
• Solution selling : Build bundles (IG Reels + YT videos + Snapchat shows + site takeovers) with clear objectives (awareness, VTR, clicks, footfall).
• Branded content & AFP : Celeb integrations, red-carpet / pap coverage, launch-day takeovers, reel series, contests, live streams, always-on packages.
• Media planning : Propose CPM / CPV / CPC buys, frequency capping, and flighting around tentpoles (movie releases, awards, cricket, festivals).
• Pipeline & forecasting : Maintain CRM hygiene, weekly forecasts, and deal-stage visibility; track lead → IO → delivery → invoice.
• Pricing & margins : Build rate cards, negotiate value adds, protect floors, upsell add-ons (whitelisting / PAID partnership, cutdowns, edits, language versions).
• Cross-functional : Partner with Editorial / Creative / Video, Ad Ops, PR, and Legal for mockups, approvals, measurement, and contracts.
• Measurement : Turn results (reach, views, VTR, ER, CTR, watch time) into post-campaign reports and case studies.
• Market intel : Map categories, monitor competitor pages, surface new revenue streams (affiliate, programmatic direct, brand stores, commerce).
