Job Description
About Simply.TV
At Simply.TV, we're redefining how the world experiences TV metadata. As a leading provider of advanced, AI-driven metadata solutions, we empower broadcasters, streaming platforms, and telecom operators to deliver smarter, more engaging content discovery experiences. From next-gen EPG (Electronic Program Guide) data to rich content enrichment, we enable our partners to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
Headquartered in Copenhagen and supported by 400+ employees and freelancers worldwide, our data fuels user interfaces used by millions of viewers every day — and we’re just getting started. If you’re passionate about media technology, data, and building meaningful commercial partnerships, Simply.TV is the place to grow and make an impact.
Join us, and let’s make content discovery simple, powerful, and inspiring!
The Role
Simply.TV is hiring a Key Account Executive to drive new revenue across the United States, with a strong focus on Tier 1 customers, including major streaming platforms, media groups, and digital-first content providers.
This is a pure hunter role. You will be responsible for identifying, prospecting, and closing new customers end-to-end, from first outreach to signed contract and handover to Customer Xperience. You will own your territory, build your own pipeline, and play a key role in expanding Simply.TV’s footprint in the US streaming ecosystem. We are particularly interested in candidates who understand the media technology ecosystem, including metadata, TV platforms, OTT services, recommendation systems, or video distribution infrastructure.
You’ll work closely with Product, Customer Xperience, and Marketing, but success in this role is driven by your ability to open doors, create urgency, and close complex, high-value deals.
This role focuses on enterprise technology sales, not advertising, marketing services, or influencer marketing.
Responsibilities
What you will own:
- Own and execute the new business sales strategy for a US region
- Identify, target, and close Tier 1 accounts, with a primary focus on streaming platforms and large media organizations
- Build and manage your own pipeline through outbound prospecting, networking, and industry presence
- Take full ownership of the sales cycle: discovery, solution positioning, commercial negotiation, and contract closure
- Maintain accurate forecasting, pipeline management, and CRM hygiene
- Act as a senior commercial ambassador for Simply.TV in the US market. Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and customer meetings
- Build long-term relationships with key decision-makers and influencers across the media and streaming landscape
- Provide market feedback to influence product roadmap and go-to-market strategy
Job Requirements
- Existing relationships with broadcasters, OTT platforms, telecom operators, or major media companies is highly valued.

- You'll thrive in this role if you have:
- 5+ years of experience in B2B enterprise sales, preferably within media technology, streaming platforms, SaaS, or data solutions.
- A proven track record of closing new business with large, complex, enterprise customers
- Strong experience selling to Tier 1 accounts, ideally streaming platforms or large digital media companies
- A true hunter mindset — comfortable building your own pipeline and creating opportunities from scratch
- Experience managing long, consultative sales cycles and complex commercial negotiations
- Strong CRM discipline (e.g. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive)
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage senior stakeholders
- High degree of autonomy, ownership, and resilience in a target-driven environment
- KPIs
- How we will measure your success:
