Media Account Executive — In Business Madison

If you’re energized by building relationships, helping local businesses grow, and being part of a team that genuinely cares about the community, this role will feel like home.

In Business Madison is the Capital Region’s premier source for business journalism — and we’re proud of the partnerships behind that work. We’re looking for a Media Account Executive who loves connecting with people, asks thoughtful questions, and thrives in a consultative, relationship-driven environment.

• Lead discovery conversations to understand client goals and recommend the right mix of print, digital, and event opportunities
• Collaborate with editorial, events, and production teams to deliver seamless campaigns
• Maintain accurate account information, forecasts, and activity notes
• Represent In Business Madison at events and in the community

• 2+ years of sales experience (media, marketing, or any relationship-driven environment is a plus)
• Strong communication skills — curious, confident, and comfortable leading conversations
• A consultative mindset: you listen first, ask smart questions, and tailor solutions
• Self‑motivated with the ability to manage your own pipeline and priorities
• Someone who values autonomy, collaboration, and doing right by clients

• A respected, long‑standing brand with deep community roots
• A supportive, tight‑knit team that values transparency, trust, and shared success
• Hybrid work environment with flexibility and autonomy
• Competitive compensation with uncapped commission
