Job Description

The Washington Post is looking for a seasoned, entrepreneurial, multimedia sales and creative marketing leader who will develop innovative solutions that drive top-line revenue and help us shape our sales and digital business model for years to come.

Alignment

More than a skillful sales and marketing executive, you have deep digital experience and are a key member of the executive leadership team that oversees hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, encompassing digital, custom, programmatic, print, and live media; you understand the value of all media platforms and how they interrelate. You can manage a complex business that sits at the forefront of sales and digital strategy and are skillful at building digital business models for the future. Equally important, you can uncover and develop revenue opportunities that maximize the interplay of a B2B and B2C organization. In partnership with the VP, Digital Product Development & CIO, you shape successful products across multiple platforms and implement solutions that focus on revenue generation, digital strategy, pricing, packaging, and consumer marketing. You possess an innate sense of where the money is and know how to shape and sell products that add materially to our revenue-generating engine. You are an agile, ambidextrous leader with significant succession potential – comfortable with high-dollar, B2B client relations and creating new businesses as well as data analysis and the human side of business. You have unparalleled business and financial acumen that enable you to distinguish between revenue opportunities that will yield material results from those that hold little promise of success. You possess an entrepreneurial yet disciplined orientation to managing complex and evolving businesses. You make success criteria visible by establishing customer-focused metrics and hold stakeholders accountable to those metrics with discipline and diplomacy. Talented, first-class people want to work for you; you can inspire and motivate while also instilling discipline and focus toward achieving goals; you have deep connections to sales-focused talent spanning multiple industries and can attract highly skilled people and leadership to The Post. You are a highly collaborative leader who can cultivate strong relationships with peer executives who lead other, equally complex aspects of the business, including the Newsroom, Distribution & Customer Care, Production, Finance and Technology.
