Patch is Seeking Sales Account Executive

Patch is hiring a local online sales account executive for the Barrow, Athens, Buford, Oconee and Fort Stewart areas. 

As one of Patch’s local online sales account executives, you’ll work closely with advertisers as their in-town online advertising expert. You’ll know your own Patch platform, and others, backwards and forwards so you can present complete advertising solutions. You may even decide to host a local seminar on how to achieve the best results by advertising on the web.

As the leading local business executive you will attend chamber and trade functions, get involved in community groups, head up charitable efforts and maintain a highly visible presence in the business community. Combining superior digital marketing expertise with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and ability to "close" deals, you will ultimately sell Patch advertising inventory, champion Patch’s unique business model and support the company’s long-term vision and success.

Requirements: 

• Bachelor’s degree preferred (in marketing, business, or a related discipline)
• One to three years of related experience
• Top-notch selling and marketing instincts with strong interpersonal, communications and influencing skills
• Willingness and confidence to take on the role of a Patch media and advertising consultant
• Clear grasp of the industry and a passion for the web, social networking, and online community websites
• Ability to simultaneously manage sales, inventory, design and other aspects of online advertising
• Capacity to quickly tap into the interests, rhythms, and identity of a community
• Unparalleled organizational skills, and the ability to work independently, as well as on a team
• Car ownership (a must) and flexibility to work from anywhere—be it at home, from your car, or in town, at a local coffee shop or store
• Proximity to — or the ability to relocate near or in — the relevant market location
• Ability and willingness to work hours outside of the typical Monday to Friday and 9 to 5, as well as sometimes weekend
