We are looking for a senior, highly entrepreneurial business builder to help drive new strategic revenue opportunities and open up untapped areas of growth for InMarket.

This is not a traditional sales role—it is a high-agency, zero-to-one mandate focused on identifying opportunities, shaping go-to-market approaches, and directly engaging senior decision-makers at brands, agencies, and strategic partners.

The ideal candidate is a persuasive generalist who thrives in ambiguity, learns quickly, and can confidently sell and evangelize complex or evolving technology—even in spaces where the playbook does not yet exist.

What You’ll Do
  • Identify, shape, and pitch new business opportunities to open strategic revenue streams
  • Engage and influence senior-level stakeholders at brands and agencies to test and learn new technology 
  • Lead exploratory and ambiguous initiatives (“special projects”) that may evolve into scalable revenue channels
  • Translate complex data and adtech capabilities into clear, compelling commercial narratives
  • Partner closely with product, marketing, and sales leadership to help shape new GTM motions
  • Bring structured feedback from the market to inform strategy, positioning, and product direction
  • Partner with sales team introduce new ideas and product tests to key clients and brands
What We’re Looking For
  • Solid experience in business development, new partnerships, or enterprise sales
  • Proven ability to open doors and create opportunities from scratch 
  • Demonstrated success in adtech, martech, SaaS, or data-driven marketing environments 
  • Exceptional communication and persuasion skills—able to simplify and sell complex ideas
  • Highly resourceful, proactive, and comfortable operating without structure or predefined playbooks
  • Strong “builder mentality” with a bias toward action and experimentation
  • High degree of curiosity, resilience, and creative problem-solving
What Success Looks Like
  • Creation of new, scalable revenue opportunities that did not previously exist
  • Consistent engagement with key decision-makers and strategic accounts
  • Expansion of InMarket’s footprint into new categories, use cases, or buyer groups
  • Tangible influence on test and learn opportunities, GTM strategy and positioning
  • Becoming a trusted partner to leadership on growth experimentation and market development
Why This Role
  • High-impact, highly visible role at the center of InMarket’s growth strategy
  • Opportunity to build and define entirely new business motions
  • Direct access to leadership and influence over strategic direction
  • Entrepreneurial culture that rewards ownership, creativity, and speed

Benefits Summary

  • Competitive salary, stock options, flexible vacation
  • Medical, dental and Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • Company Matched 401(k)
  • Unlimited PTO (within reason)
  • Talented co-workers and management
  • Agile Development Program (For continued learning/professional development)
  • Paid Paternity & Maternity Leave
