About Super Age

Super Age is the premium longevity consumer brand reaching 1M millennials and Gen Xers who want to live longer, better. Our brand partnerships team drives revenue through integrated partnerships across editorial, media, podcast, commerce, and events — including the Super Age Games, the first-ever longevity fitness competition.

About the Role

This role is the new business engine for Super Age's brand partnerships function. You will build a pipeline from scratch, open doors at brands and media agencies, and close integrated partnerships spanning content, media, podcast, and live events. You're not inheriting a pipeline — you're building the one this function runs on from day one.

You will have real input on packaging, pricing, and go-to-market strategy. You'll also have direct exposure to founders, ownership, and the buildout of a new commercial organization. This is a builder's seat at a brand in its breakout moment.

This role owns the full sales cycle: prospect, pitch, structure, negotiate, close, and hand off cleanly to activation. You will transition and grow an existing book of newsletter advertisers, upselling performance buyers into brand programs, while simultaneously developing net-new relationships with media agencies and brand marketers.

This is a role for someone who does not wait for inbound leads or manage a warm book of renewals — this role is for someone who builds from nothing and prefers it that way.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• A hunter. Your track record is new logos, not renewals. You've built pipeline from nothing, and you prefer it that way.
• A system-driven self-starter. You don't wait for marketing to hand you leads — you build your own lists, write your own outreach, and revise your own decks.
• A media and agency insider. You understand how content-led deals are structured (themes, editorial integration, events, talent, first-party data) — you've packaged ideas, not just inventory — and you know how agency dollars actually move: who buys, who influences, who signs off.
• A confident communicator. You can hold a room with a CMO and negotiate line items with a media planner in the same day.
• No ego about the grind. List building, follow-ups, last-minute deck revisions — nobody here is above the scrap.
• A genuine believer. You have real interest in health, wellness, and longevity. You want to live this brand, not just sell it.

Accountabilities

New Business Development

• Own a new business quota with accountability for closed revenue
• Prospect relentlessly across cold outreach, agency development, category mapping, and event networking
• Build and manage relationships with media agencies and brand marketers across wellness, fitness, luxury, travel, financial services, and CPG
• Develop and maintain a structured pipeline from initial outreach through close

Partnership Sales and Packaging

• Sell integrated partnership programs spanning content, media, podcast, commerce, and live events
• Package themes, editorial integrations, and multi-platform programs — you sell ideas, not placements off a rate card
• Respond to RFPs with proposals that win on creativity and strategic fit, not discounts
• Work the full sales cycle: prospect, pitch, structure, negotiate, close, then hand off cleanly to activation

Account Transition and Growth

• Transition and grow an existing book of newsletter advertisers
• Upsell performance buyers into integrated brand programs
• Identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts while keeping new business development primary

Requirements

Required Experience

• Minimum 3 years selling integrated content, branded content, or media partnerships at a publisher, media brand, or content studio

• Established media agency fluency — buying process, budget cycles, key stakeholders
• Experience with modern prospecting tools (Apollo, ZoomInfo, Sales Navigator, or equivalents)
• Proven ability to sell multi-platform programs, not single-format placements
• Proven experience running the full sales cycle through close and activation handoff
