The Role
We are hiring a quota-carrying, senior individual contributor to build and scale advertising and sponsorship revenue across the full portfolio — one mandate, two brands: Legis1 and AllCiv.

Coordinate with marketing, product, and editorial teams on campaign delivery; own client outcomes, renewals, upsells, and cross-sells
Develop high-value verticals — government affairs, healthcare and life sciences, financial services, advocacy — and represent both brands at industry events
Feed market intelligence back into product, packaging, and go-to-market strategy
Qualifications
5+ years of direct advertising or media sales experience (B2B preferred) with a track record of quota attainment on complex, multi-channel deals
Experience selling into government affairs/public policy/lobbying, healthcare/life sciences, financial services, or other regulated industries
Hunter profile: strong prospecting and industry connections, as well as ability to build and sell strategic media programs
Experience with email/newsletter, web, and mobile advertising
Existing advertiser and agency network strongly preferred
Proficiency with CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce), forecasting, and pipeline hygiene; strong written communication and executive-level proposals
Preferred on-site in North Bethesda, MD; periodic travel for client meetings and events
Experience working with corporations that want to get their message in front of legislators, government leaders, and engaged voters.
