This is a hands-on, full-cycle sales role: you'll own prospecting, pipeline building, deal
negotiation, and closing with game studios, publishers, content platforms, and developer
teams. You know the gaming industry from the inside — you understand how studios
evaluate tools, how production pipelines work, and who the decision-makers are. You'll
be Viggle's face to the US market and a key voice feeding market insight back into our
product roadmap.

Understand client production pipelines (game engines, animation workflows, content platforms) and translate their pain points into solution proposals.
Negotiate enterprise agreements, API pricing, and licensing terms; coordinate with internal legal and finance teams on contracting.

Experience selling technical products — APIs, SaaS, middleware, developer tools, or content solutions — to technical and creative buyers.
Demonstrated ability to run a full sales cycle independently — prospecting, demoing, negotiating, and closing.
Excellent communication and presentation skills; comfortable presenting to studio executives, product leaders, and engineering teams.
Self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment with minimal supervision.
Based in our Toronto office and able to travel to LA; authorized to work in Canada, and travel occasionally in the United States.
