Job Description

Page Six is one of the most recognized names in celebrity and entertainment news. As the originator of the modern gossip column, we’ve built a brand that keeps audiences in the know, from red carpets and exclusive parties to the biggest headlines in pop culture. Today, Page Six reaches millions across digital, print, social, video, podcast, and TV, meeting our audience wherever they consume content.

We’re looking for a motivated, NYC-based Account Executive to join our entertainment ad sales team. This role is ideal for a driven seller with 2–5 years of media or advertising sales experience, or someone in a closely related agency or media role ready to take the next step. You’ll report to the Page Six Ad Sales Director and play a key role in growing and maintaining our advertising partnerships.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, high-energy team that’s motivated to win and invested in each other’s success. This is an environment where sellers are supported, mentored, and given real exposure to the inner workings of a fast-moving media organization, from how content is created and distributed to how integrated advertising programs are built and executed. You’ll gain hands-on experience across digital, social, video, and branded content, while learning directly from experienced media leaders who are committed to helping you grow your book of business and advance your career. It’s a unique opportunity to sharpen your sales skills, deepen your industry knowledge, and build meaningful relationships at one of the most recognizable brands in entertainment media.

Responsibilities:

  • Identify, prospect, and develop new business opportunities, converting leads into long-term partnerships

  • Manage the full sales cycle, including outreach, RFP responses, proposal development, pitching, negotiation, and closing

  • Collaborate with internal teams to create smart, compelling advertising solutions that leverage Page Six’s multi-platform reach

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with agency and direct clients

  • Deliver polished, persuasive sales presentations

  • Meet and exceed revenue goals through proactive pipeline management

  • Monitor competitive activity and continually identify new account opportunities

  • Ensure excellent client service and communication to enhance the overall partner experience

The ideal candidate will have/be:

  • 2+ years of experience in media sales, advertising sales, sales planning, or a related client-facing role

  • Experience working with agencies and/or direct clients in a major market preferred; must be comfortable working with both agency partners and direct advertisers

  • Experience selling digital advertising solutions, sponsorships, or integrated media packages.

  • Familiarity with prospecting and research tools such as MediaRadar, Winmo, or similar platforms

  • Online video sales experience is a plus

  • Highly motivated, entrepreneurial, and eager to grow within a fast-paced startup-style environment

  • Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to build lasting relationships

  • Highly organized, accountable, and results-driven

  • A genuine interest in entertainment, celebrity news, and pop culture

Note: This role will adhere to a hybrid work model (3 days per week in our NYC office), subject to change as business needs evolve.

Pay-for-performance is a key element in our strategy to attract, engage, and motivate talented people to do their best work. Accordingly, offers extended for this role will include an annual bonus target typically expressed as percentage of salary. Similarly to salary, set annual incentive bonus targets are based on a variety of factors including competitive market practice, experience, tenure, and essential skills.

In addition to compensation, the company provides eligible employees a comprehensive and highly competitive benefits package, with a variety of physical health, retirement and savings, caregiving, emotional wellbeing, transportation, and other benefits, including “elective” benefits employees may select to best fit the needs and personal situations of our diverse workforce.

As an equal opportunity employer, the New York Post does not discriminate in hiring or the terms and conditions of employment because of an individual’s race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. The New York Post will consider the provision of reasonable accommodations to known physical or mental disabilities of otherwise qualified applicants to enable them to participate in our application process and to effectively perform the essential functions of the job, unless doing so would impose an undue financial or operational hardship. ​

Pay Range: $75,000 - $95,000
