Hi! 👋 I’m Mitch Schoenman, Director of Sales at TLDR.
If you’re reading this, you’re someone who knows what it takes to close deals and build relationships that matter. I’m looking for an Account Executive (we also call this a Partnerships Director) to join us and take the lead on key accounts, driving growth for TLDR’s sponsorship business and working with top enterprise clients and agencies. You’ll be working directly with me as we shape how TLDR partners with the biggest names in tech and media. Recently I worked at Morning Brew and I'm excited to build a top performing team in the newsletter business.

Who We Are

TLDR is a collective of technical newsletters on startups, software engineering, AI, cybersecurity, marketing, product management, and more, with over 6 million subscribers.

Our mission is to build the paper of record for the tech industry, the trusted source that people who work in tech rely on to inform them about important trends and developments.

About the Role

  • Own a target account list and develop account plans for winning and expanding business with enterprise companies and marketing agencies

  • Lead complex negotiations with target enterprise companies and marketing agencies

  • Develop prospecting and outbound strategies to create and nurture opportunities

  • Lead and contribute to team projects to develop and refine our sales process

About You

  • 1+ years of B2B sales experience in a quota-carrying closer role with a track record of top performance in the media industry

  • Proven ability to lead complex negotiations and manage six-figure deals from end-to-end with enterprise buyers and agencies

  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills

  • Ability to operate in a highly ambiguous, fast-paced collaborative environment

  • Existing relationships with marketers within enterprises and B2B marketing agencies are a big plus

Why You'll Love It

  • Our comp plan is 50/50 base/variable with a 2x accelerator on a quarterly commission plan. We set quotas that reps actually hit!

  • 100% Remote Company that shares a common goal.

  • Annual team offsite. August '25 TBD!

  • Unlimited PTO - most team members will enjoy 2-3 weeks off per year + holidays

  • 401(k) plan, HSA, FSA

  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision benefits with 100% paid option

  • Paid parental leave

  • Hardware stipend - we're on Macbook M4s, get a new monitor, headset, chair on us

  • Software, Learning & Development stipend - we are a curious group that believes in learning

  • Contemporary tech stack and tools - Hubspot, Apollo, BDRs, VAs - we got you!

  • Autonomy and agency to contribute to the growth of one of the most reputable tech newsletters in the world.

What We Value

  • Urgency and Bias to Action

  • Iterative improvement

  • Clear communication

  • Integrity

  • Resourcefulness

📥 If this sounds like you, I’d love to talk about how you can make a big impact at TLDR. Let’s drive growth together!

You're not a good fit for this role if you:

  • Have only worked in B2B SaaS and have no media sales experience. This is business critical.

  • Rely solely on BDRs to build pipeline. You will have to outline how you prospect.

  • Enjoy large teams and that "in-person group feeling" at work. We are a remote company.

  • Are not a top performer in a lean sales team. We will ask you where you're ranked.

  • Don't have much knowledge or experience of the tech ecosystem. We will ask.

Please let us know if you need any accommodation during any part of the interview process.
