The International Digital Director role is an individual contributor responsible for prospecting and closing sales in GumGum’s Market Leading Contextual Advertising platform. Reporting to the International Group Digital Director, this role is responsible for developing key relationships within large and mid-size agencies internationally with occasional managerial guidance on client calls. We require this role to work relatively autonomously while being supported by a cross-functional pre-sales team.

Digital Directors have experience and deep knowledge of the online media landscape, the advertising community and have at least 5+ years of digital media experience. The Digital Director uses existing processes to solve a variety of challenging problems to deliver for clients. The role is required to apply independent judgment and discretion to select appropriate options from GumGum’s defined and proven products.

And finally, as we thrive to get the best out of our teams, we also get to celebrate successes together with our teams and with our partners. So we will be having lots of moments to hang out together and have fun.

Note: GumGum currently operates in a ‘work from home’ virtual environment with sporadic opportunities for in-person business and morale events (health guidelines permitting). There will not be any requirement to go into the office on a daily basis moving forward.
