This is a hunter role. You will own a portfolio of global brand advertisers across APAC — winning new spend, reactivating lapsed or dormant accounts, and expanding existing partnerships. You are the commercial owner for your book of business: strategy, relationships, pipeline, and revenue.<br>You will work as a trusted advisor to brand marketers and their agency partners, building consultative, insight-led programs that put X at the center of both brand and performance plans. You will work as a peer with the Agency Development and X Cross Functional Teams — close partnership, distinct ownership. This role reports to the Head of Global Brands, APAC.</p> <h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">RESPONSIBILITIES:</span></h3> <ul> <li>Own and grow revenue across an assigned Global Brands portfolio in APAC. Hit and exceed quarterly and annual targets through new business, expansion, renewals, and reactivation.</li> <li>Hunt. Build a disciplined pipeline of net-new and returning advertisers. Prioritize client reactivation — bringing lapsed and under-invested global brands back onto the platform with a clear commercial plan.</li> <li>Establish and deepen relationships with marketing decision-makers at global brands and with the agencies that plan and buy for them (media, creative, social, and holding-company stakeholders).</li> <li>Build and deliver consultative sales presentations, QBRs, and joint business plans that connect client objectives to X’s advertising products, audiences, and measurement — in rooms from brand manager to CMO.</li> <li>Help advertisers design, launch, and optimize campaigns; measure results; and convert proof into larger, more sustained commitments.</li> <li>Partner with agencies without outsourcing the sale. You own the client outcome even when the buy sits with a holding company or local shop.</li> <li>Bring market fluency. Know how decisions get made in Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, and Delhi — and adjust the motion accordingly.</li> <li>Partner tightly with Agency Development, Client Solutions, Marketing, Content Parternships and regional market teams to remove friction and create incremental revenue.</li> <li>Stay fluent in the evolving social and digital landscape, X product developments, and competitor activity so you can lead the conversation — not follow it.</li> <li>Represent X at client meetings, industry events, and in-market reviews across SEA and India.</li> </ul> <h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:</span></h3> <ul> <li>Driven, commercially hungry, and comfortable being measured on revenue. Hunter mentality is non-negotiable.</li> <li>7–10+ years in digital ad sales, ad tech, or martech, with a proven record of growing a book of business against quota.</li> <li>Deep working knowledge of both the SEA and India advertising markets — how brands plan, how agencies buy, and where decisions actually get made. You have sold in these markets, not just visited them. Relationships may be stronger in one market; fluency must cover both.</li> <li>Existing, active relationships with global brand clients and their agencies across SEA and India. You can open doors in week one.</li> <li>Strong presentation and storytelling skills. You can hold a room with a CMO, a regional marketing director, and a working-level planner — and leave with a next step.</li> <li>Experience reactivating dormant, paused, or under-penetrated clients is strongly preferred. You know how to diagnose why spend left and how to win it back.</li> <li>Experience working both direct-to-brand and through agency structures.</li> <li>Self-directed, organized, and effective in a small, high-output team. You do not wait to be told what to sell next.</li> <li>Willingness to travel approximately 30% of the time across Southeast Asia and India.</li> </ul> <h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:</span></h3> <ul> <li>Prior platform, publisher, social, ad tech, or martech sales experience.</li> <li>Fluency across brand and performance buying.</li> <li>Additional SEA or Hindi language capability.</li> <li>Experience with joint business plans, annual commitments, or multi-market brand coordination.</li> </ul><div class="content-conclusion"><p><em>SpaceXAI is an equal opportunity employer.
