Virginia Beach, VA
Full Time

  • Responsibilities

    Job Description

    Jpixx is hiring our first dedicated sales rep to build a proactive outbound pipeline.
    We’ve grown through referrals for more than a decade — now we’re ready to expand intentionally into new commercial markets and government sectors.

    This is NOT a marketing role and NOT an account manager role.
    This is a hunter role.

    You’ll own outbound prospecting, discovery, and dealflow, partnering directly with our founders and producers to bring in new work.

    If you love opening doors, starting conversations, and selling creative solutions, this role is for you.

    You’re the Right Fit If You Are:

    A true outbound salesperson

    You’re energized by identifying prospects, reaching out, following up, and booking meetings.

    Scrappy & entrepreneurial

    You can build pipeline from scratch in a creative, fast-moving environment.

    Experienced selling intangible services

    Agency, production, media, marketing, SaaS, consulting — you’re used to selling ideas , not products.

    Confident navigating new verticals

    Especially regulated or slow-moving industries (government, education, healthcare, etc.).

    A relationship builder

    People trust you quickly. You communicate clearly and listen well.

    A proven closer

    You’ve managed a sales cycle from first outreach → signed deal.

    Hungry for growth

    You want to build something — not just maintain a territory.

    Core Responsibilities

    1. Outbound Prospecting & Lead Generation (primary focus)

    • Build and manage a pipeline of commercial, government, and agency prospects
    • Proactively reach out via email, calls, social, and networking
    • Get us into the right rooms with the right buyers

    2. Discovery, Pitching & Presenting

    • Lead compelling discovery calls
    • Present our capabilities clearly and confidently
    • Help clients understand our creative approach

    3. Proposal & Deal Management

    • Partner with producers/owners to scope projects
    • Prepare proposals and estimates
    • Negotiate budgets and timelines
    • Close new business ethically and effectively

    4. Government & Public-Sector Support

    • Monitor relevant RFPs
    • Help qualify opportunities
    • Support our team on proposal submissions (not alone)

    5. Early Relationship Management

    • Maintain warm communication until project kickoff
    • Ensure smooth handoff to production
    • Spot upsell/ongoing opportunities

    What You WON’T Do

    (This is important — please read.)

    You will NOT:

    • run marketing campaigns
    • produce creative work
    • manage internal video teams
    • write long RFPs alone
    • oversee social media
    • act as an account manager
    • take on operations work

    This role is about opening doors and generating revenue.

  • Qualifications
