Tips for applicants

Your resume should open with evidence of your 11 years of relevant experience in sales, digital advertising, business development, or digital marketing, and clearly show how you’ve helped automotive clients grow using video or cross‑platform solutions.

Show how you prove must-have skills by citing concrete client engagements where you guided long-term video strategies, partnered with executives, or used AI productivity tools to streamline workflows. Highlight any cross‑functional work that led to measurable outcomes, such as increased brand lift or ROI for large advertisers.

Prepare for interviews by outlining scenarios where you translated industry data into actionable plans, built trusted advisor relationships, and delivered end‑to‑end media strategies aligned with client goals. Have a story ready about helping a client move from awareness to deeper engagement using YouTube and other video tactics.

Ask a smart question about the cross‑functional dynamics of the Large Customer Sales team and how success is measured across joint business plans, as well as how the 75% bonus target interacts with pipeline performance and equity. You could also ask how the automotive vertical specifically leverages video and brand relationships to drive ROI for Canada’s largest advertisers.
