About the role
- KUSA KTVD-TV Denver, the TEGNA-owned NBC affiliate in Denver, is seeking a proven, results-driven Account Executive to grow new business and manage a book of advertising clients across one of the strongest cross-screen portfolios in the market.
- This is a seat for a closer who can walk into a business owner's office or an agency pitch, uncover what's really driving their marketing decisions, and build the multi-platform solution that wins the budget.
Responsibilities
- Drive new business. Build and maintain a strong pipeline of local and regional advertisers, connect with key decision-makers and create opportunities across broadcast TV, Premion streaming/CTV and digital.

- Grow and defend the book. Turn accounts into long-term partnerships; expand them through smart upsell and cross-sell across the portfolio and stay close enough to results to renew and grow every cycle.
- Pitch with data. Build compelling, insight-driven proposals that show advertisers exactly how broadcast reach and connected-TV targeting combine to deliver ROI.
- Run your business. Manage pipeline, forecast accurately, and keep deals moving in CRM and partner with account, creative, and product teams to deliver campaigns that perform and retain.
