Work with the world’s premier brands to build their presence on major social networks as head of Context’s sales organization. Marketing is changing, and Context needs people who understand how. We’re looking for proven ability to sell innovative, social-media focused marketing campaigns to pioneering agencies and brands.

Context Optional is the premier social marketing agency, providing social marketing technologies and services to the world’s leading brands and advertising agencies. Context’s Social Application Server™, the leading platform for viral marketing campaigns on social networks such as Facebook and MySpace, is used by Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Samsung, CBSSports, Ford, Paramount Pictures, and many more well-known brands. As a leading developer of compelling, fun, clever, snarky, unique, and engaging campaigns for social networks, Context is changing the way companies advertise.

As our Director / VP Sales and Business Development, your job is to work with agencies and brands to formulate and sell an effective social media strategy. In this role, you’ll utilize your relationships with top marketing decision makers at Fortune 1000 companies and major agencies and your deep understanding of how brands are best positioned on sites such as MySpace, Facebook, and LinkedIn to pitch innovative, engaging campaigns. More than a “smile and dial” sales role, we’re looking for creativity and strategic thinking to ensure that our clients receive the best social marketing recommendations for their brands. If you are the savvy, polished interactive marketing and sales guru with a proven track record of success driving revenue through strategic relationships, structuring and managing complex negotiations to successful closure, and a passion and interest in the way social networks are changing the online landscape, then Context Optional has an amazing growth opportunity for you.

When you join Context Optional, you will enjoy company benefits that include stock options, health/vision/dental insurance, Fidelity 401(k), pre-tax commuter deductions, casual office environment, weekly office tiki happy hours, and Xbox with Rock Band in the office. This position is located either in Context’s headquarters in downtown San Francisco, near Union Square at Market and 3rd Street and convenient to the Montgomery BART stop, or in New York City.
