The Role

We are looking for an Account Executive - Newsletter Sales, to help grow advertising revenue across our newsletter portfolio. This role focuses on outbound sales, top-of-funnel generation, sponsorship prospecting, closing, and building a repeatable pipeline of advertisers and partners.

This role is for someone who is not just good at sales but who works in an AI-native way every day.

We want someone who actively uses Claude and AI tools daily and is highly comfortable using AI to automate, accelerate, and improve core sales workflows. That includes prospect research, account prioritization, contact discovery, outbound support, personalization, follow-up drafting, sales process organization, and overall top-of-funnel execution.

This is not a traditional sales role built around fully manual work. We are specifically looking for someone who naturally thinks, “How can I use AI to do this faster, better, and at a greater scale?” The right candidate will combine strong sales instincts with AI fluency and a constant drive to improve efficiency through systems, prompts, and workflow automation.

What You’ll Do

• Own outbound sponsorship sales efforts across Mode Mobile Media’s newsletter brands
• Build a pipeline by identifying relevant advertisers, agencies, and sponsorship partners
• Generate top-of-funnel activity through research, prospecting, and outbound execution
• Use Claude daily to improve and accelerate sales workflows
• Use AI to support list building, prospect research, targeting, outreach preparation, personalization, follow-up drafting, and sales process management
• Create repeatable AI-assisted workflows that help scale outbound volume without sacrificing quality
• Identify better ways to automate sales development work and reduce manual effort
• Work with leadership to refine prospect lists, outreach angles, packaging, and prioritization
• Stay close to our brands, audiences, and sponsorship offerings so outreach is relevant and well-positioned
• Maintain strong organization across outreach, pipeline, and prospect activity
• Help build a more scalable, AI-enabled outbound engine for newsletter sponsorship revenue

Who You Are

• Experience in sales, business development, media sales, advertising sales, sponsorships, partnerships, or newsletter monetization
• Strong outbound prospecting ability and comfort building a pipeline from scratch
• A genuinely AI-native working style, not just surface-level familiarity with AI tools
• Daily Claude users strongly preferred.  You will also be provided access to AI tools.
• Experience using Claude or similar tools to support real sales work, not just general writing
• Clear ability to use AI to improve research, workflow speed, personalization, top-of-funnel output, and sales execution
• Strong written English and the ability to create effective, concise outbound messaging
• Highly organized, resourceful, and able to operate independently
• Comfortable testing new prompts, workflows, and systems to improve results over time
• Able to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with a strong bias toward action
• Alignment with our core values:
  
  • ​​Accountable: You take ownership of your responsibilities, demonstrating trustworthiness and self-discipline. You are consistent in your work, transparent in your actions, and communicate effectively. You follow through on commitments and strive for continuous improvement.
  • Action-driven: Identify what is most important, agree on scope, execute in a timely manner, and drive the greatest impact.  You take initiative, roll up your sleeves, and get things done.
  • Caring: You genuinely care about yourself and others, our business and craft, our mission and vision, and are passionate in heart and mind. You understand the importance of our team and strive to create a positive, supportive work environment.
  • Curious: You focus on the ‘why,’ learn and expand your knowledge, explore new ideas, and generally make things better.  You're a lifelong learner with a thirst for knowledge and a constant desire to improve.
  • Thorough: Your work is thoughtful, impactful, timely, accurate, and complete.  You pay attention to detail, are meticulous, and ensure quality work and compliance.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a strong salesperson who already works with AI as part of their daily operating rhythm. They do not see Claude as a novelty or occasional assistant. They use it regularly to help them move faster, stay organized, increase output, and improve the quality of their work.

They understand that modern outbound sales can be significantly improved by AI when used well, and they are excited to help build that capability into the sales motion from the ground up.

They are proactive, experimental, and always looking for ways to make prospecting and top-of-funnel generation more scalable and more effective.

Why Join Us

You’ll help grow sponsorship revenue across a portfolio of media brands in attractive categories, including finance, consumer savings, crypto, and AI. You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape how AI is used inside the sales process, making this a strong fit for someone who wants to combine revenue generation with modern, AI-enabled execution.

The Opportunity

Mode Mobile is building a mobile game business designed to scale, one that users love, partners trust, and whose P&L actually works.

We’re hiring a General Manager of Mobile Games to take full ownership of Mode’s growing portfolio of casual and puzzle games. This is not a “strategy deck” role. This is for someone who has built, scaled, and monetized games before—and wants real control, real accountability, and real upside.

If you’ve lived inside mobile gaming, and you’re ready to run the whole thing like it’s your own business, this role is for you.

We are not looking for someone to learn mobile gaming. We are looking for someone with deep expertise to drive results quickly.

What You’ll Own

• The Mobile Gaming Business — End to End
  • Full P&L ownership for Mode’s mobile gaming vertical
  • Strategy, execution, growth, and profitability. No shared ownership, no ambiguity
  • Decide what to build, partner, license, acquire, or shut down

• Gaming That Actually Scales
  • Own the vision and roadmap for Mode’s gaming experiences 
  • Balance user engagement, economics, and monetization tradeoffs across multiple growth and distribution channels, including traditional mobile UA channels, rewarded partners, organic users, and more
  • Partner closely with Product, Monetization, Engineering, UA, and Data to ship, test, and iterate fast

• Growth, Monetization, and Economics
  • Optimize monetization through strategic balancing of in-app ad revenue and in-app purchases
  • Develop strong user-focused feature designs and product roadmaps
  • Work with Growth team to drive user acquisition, retention, and lifetime value across a gaming portfolio through paid, organic, and owned user acquisition channels
  • Set and own KPIs: ARPU, margin, retention, ROAS, and scale

• Partnerships & Deals That Matter
  • Source, negotiate, and manage relationships with game developers, publishers, and monetization partners
  • Structure revenue-share, licensing, aggregation, and platform deals
  • Evaluate strategic partnerships and M&A opportunities in gaming

• Build and Lead the Team
  • Hire and lead a lean, high-output team across product, growth, ops, and partnerships
  • Set the operating cadence, goals, and accountability
  • Create a culture of ownership, speed, and clear decision-making

• Zero-Bureaucracy Execution
  • Work directly with the CEO and executive team
  • No layers. No handoffs. No waiting for permission.
  • You own the number and the strategy to hit it

Who This Role Is For

You might be a fit if:

• You’ve built or scaled a mobile gaming business, including studio operations, with a focus on casual and puzzle.
• You’ve owned a business line, product portfolio, or P&L, not just contributed to one
• You understand the real economics of gaming, including the use of rewarded networks for growth
• You have a vision for how AI can be used to enhance studio productivity and reduce time to market
• You’re comfortable making fast, imperfect decisions and owning the outcome
• You want autonomy, accountability, and upside, and not consensus meetings

This Is Not a Role For

• Product leaders who don’t want P&L responsibility
• Operators who need heavy structure, playbooks, or guardrails
• Anyone looking to “explore” mobile gaming as a learning opportunity

What Success Looks Like (First 6–18 Months)

• Mobile games become a meaningful, profitable growth engine for Mode
• Clear, repeatable acquisition and monetization loops
• Strong developer and partner traction
• A self-sustaining gaming org that scales without constant escalation

Why This Role Is Different

• Full ownership of a core growth vertical
• Direct CEO access and real decision-making authority
• A profitable company with startup speed
• Massive whitespace in gaming, supported by a global distribution network

We Believe in the Following Workplace Norms

• Allow OKRs to Guide Us
• Assume Positive Intent
• Agree to Disagree & Commit
• Set New Precedents
• Accomplish More with Less
• Hold Yourself & Others to High Standards
• Speak Up
• Be Resourceful
• Follow the 80/20 Rule

What We Are Offering

• We are a 100% remote-first, global company.
• A competitive compensation package.
• We offer generous perks & benefits to team members. 
• Participation in the Company's equity plan (for full-time team members).
• We provide individual bonuses in accordance with our Company Bonus Program.
• Work with energetic, passionate, and results-driven people.
• Celebrate team members' personal and work milestones.
• Remote social activities, including virtual coffee buddies. 
• Bonusly - We use Bonusly as a way to recognize and reward team members for their hard work and commitment.
• Weekly Wednesday Get Stuff Done Days (No Meetings).
• Open PTO, generous Company Holidays, and Wellness Days (for full-time team members).

The Opportunity

The new Market Research business unit will be focused on data monetization, market intelligence, and research-driven revenue. The General Manager of Mode Market Research will build this business from the ground up, own multiple revenue streams, and turn underutilized data assets into meaningful profit centers. We are looking for a founder-minded General Manager to build this business from zero to recurring, enterprise-grade revenue.

The GM of Mode Market Research will own four data monetization segments and one existing web product. The mission is to create revenue lines, structure partnerships, collaborate with the Chief Data Officer and product teams, and scale each business into an independent profit engine with dedicated staff. The first phase is hands-on execution. Hiring follows once revenue baselines are met. This role blends data strategy, partnerships, product execution, and full P&L responsibility.

This is not a traditional management role. This is a revenue-building, hands-on operator role with full ownership.

AI & Data Innovation Ownership

• Design and implement AI-driven data products, including predictive models, LLM-powered insights, and automated reporting tools
• Leverage modern AI stacks (e.g., LLMs, embeddings, vector databases) to transform raw datasets into scalable intelligence products
• Identify opportunities to replace manual workflows with agentic AI systems that accelerate revenue generation
• Partner with the Chief Data Officer to integrate AI capabilities into Mode’s data infrastructure and EarnOS ecosystem

What You’ll Own

Audience and Profile Data Monetization

Build Mode’s audience and profile data business by defining datasets, structuring a centralized data lake, and partnering with major marketplaces.

• Monetize email lists, user profiles, and audience data across Mode’s product portfolio
• Partner closely with the Chief Data Officer to structure scalable data pipelines
• Establish and manage partnerships with data marketplaces and identity platforms (e.g., LiveRamp, Experian, and similar platforms)
• Build revenue before adding dedicated sales support

Receipt Scanning and Commerce Intelligence

Turn existing receipt-scanning and Trimbox shopping data into institutional-grade purchase intelligence.

• Standardize purchase and transaction data across Mode product lines
• Collaborate with the Chief Data Officer and product teams to ensure data quality, consistency, and usability
• Establish direct sales relationships and channels with hedge funds and research buyers

App Usage, Installed App Graph, and Web Behavior

Scale Mode’s market-data business by selling insights directly to enterprise buyers.

• Expand Mode’s app usage and behavioral intelligence offerings beyond SDK-based monetization 
• Co-own the vertical in partnership with the GM of Mode Earn App
• Work with the Chief Data Officer to improve data completeness, coverage, and reliability

Location Data Monetization

Rebuild Mode’s geo-data revenue line and expand it with new high-value partners.

• Identify up to three profitable location-data partners
• Work with the product org on integration
• Co-own this vertical with the GM of Earn App

Who You Are

You are a founder-style builder who:

• Has built or scaled 6-7 figure ARR in data, SaaS, or analytics businesses
• Has sold directly to enterprise or institutional buyers
• Thinks in terms of margin and lifetime value
• Is comfortable operating without a large team
• Moves quickly and eliminates ambiguity
• Understands privacy frameworks and data governance standards

You are as comfortable closing a contract as you are defining the product.

Success Profile

The ideal candidate collaborates closely with product, data, business development, and revenue. You’ll execute quickly, eliminate ambiguity, and build repeatable revenue lines from assets that already exist within the business. You are comfortable starting as an operator and evolving into a leader who hires and manages a small team.

Why Join Mode Mobile

• Be part of a company where the culture is the magic. Our team consistently says the best part of Mode is the people - collaborative, humble, hungry, and genuinely invested in each other’s success.
• Make an impact on millions of users across a global social platform with massive scale and cultural relevance.

• Join a mission-driven culture where ownership is real, ideas travel fast, and your work has a visible impact.
• Grow inside a fast-growing, post-acquisition business backed by strong leadership and investment in monetization, UA, and product innovation.
