About the job

Overview
We’re hiring an Associate Account Executive to help grow both Superhuman AI and The Code, two fast-growing newsletters read by builders, operators, and technical decision-makers.

- Sell ad inventory for the Superhuman AI newsletter.
- Create sales funnels to sell the ad inventory.
- Generate sponsorship leads for the ad inventory.
- Learn navigate agency-led relationships
- Convert leads and generate payments from the sponsors.
- Report to the team on performance and key metrics set by the team.
- Answer questions the team has about the sales process and sponsors it brought.
- Attend one to two 30 minute calls each week to discuss performance and tasks.
- Handle any sales related tasks that are not covered in the list above.
