- Secure net-new lines of business while accelerating growth within existing accounts through new geographies, business units, use cases, and product adoption.
- Design and lead multi-quarter and multi-year joint business plans with executive stakeholders, establishing clear growth hypotheses, investment tradeoffs, and accountability on both sides.
- Lead complex commercial negotiations with economic buyers, including pricing, contract structure, and long-term partnership agreements.
- Maintain executive-level rigor across pipeline health and forecasting, making high-judgment calls on prioritization, resourcing, and downside mitigation.
- Shift customer conversations from short-term performance metrics to long-term LTV, durable growth, and strategic investment, influencing how customers allocate meaningful budget over time.
Executive Partnership & Stakeholder Management
- Build trusted, long-term relationships with VP and C-suite stakeholders, positioning yourself as a strategic advisor in the client’s boardroom.

- Demonstrate strong executive presence, delivering high-altitude communication that simplifies complex performance data into actionable, business-level insights.
- Lead senior executive business reviews and strategic planning sessions, reinforcing Moloco’s role as a category-defining growth partner, not a point solution..

- Translate Moloco’s machine learning capabilities and emerging product initiatives into clear business value propositions, shaping how products are positioned and sold.
- Lead product demos and strategic solution discussions with confidence and credibility.
- Maintain strong data fluency and a “hands-on-keyboard” mindset when needed, independently pulling and analyzing data to drive insights and recommendations.
- Partner with Product, Data Science, and Engineering as a market-facing thought partner, influencing roadmap prioritization based on material revenue opportunity and customer signal.
- Play a critical role in early-stage or ambiguous initiatives, helping define use cases, success metrics, and paths to scalable product-market fit.
Upleveling Sales & Cross-Functional Teams

- Demonstrate a plays-to-win mindset by taking ownership of ambiguous, high-stakes problems and driving durable solutions.
- Thrive in low-structure environments by creating clarity for others, not just navigating ambiguity personally.
- Bring a protagonist mindset, taking ownership and doing whatever it takes to solve problems, regardless of title or function.
