Job Summary We are seeking an ambitious, results-driven Account Executive specializing in sales and business development to join our growing sales team. In this role, you will identify, engage, and win new business with retailers and product manufacturers who need better content, faster. Your drive to build real client relationships, combined with your ability to learn a prospect's business and lead with a question instead of a pitch, will open new accounts and expand our presence across retail and manufacturing. This position offers the chance to own a pipeline from first outreach through signed agreement, represent VIA at the industry's largest markets, and grow the accounts you win, all backed by a company built on a single idea: know the need, own the need, solve for the need. About VIA Productions VIA Productions helps retailers and product manufacturers create better content, faster. We have been doing it from Memphis since 2008, and more than 20 of the top 100 furniture retailers in the country are clients. Our work spans production and post-production, product content libraries built SKU by SKU, personalized video, and automated versioning across markets and formats. We have built the technology and process to deliver all of it faster, and for less, than a traditional shoot.

Internally we say it three ways: know the need, own the need, solve for the need. Below are the five beliefs we run on. They are the part of this posting we care most about, and we will not hire someone who does not 100% hold them, however good the numbers look. Education. It is our responsibility to educate the client. We are responsible for what they don't know. In production, the unknown can kill a project, so we arm our clients with the information they need to make critical decisions, and nobody gets surprised at the end. Creative authority. Our clients consider us creative experts, so we collaborate, share ideas, and give proper, appropriate pushback. The client is still the boss and the final creative authority, and we deliver with a good attitude. Take ownership. If we make a mistake, we own it. If our client makes a mistake, we use the full force of our resources to make it right. The client's experience. We truly believe that if we allow even one client to have anything less than an excellent experience, we will cease to exist. We mean that literally, and it sets the bar for every interaction we have. Point of need. It is our job to solve our clients' problems, not the other way around. We meet clients at the point of their need, not ours.
