The Role
As a Digital Marketing Sales Executive at DUNK, you will manage the full sales cycle from qualifying inbound leads to proactively hunting outbound opportunities.

Success in this role means driving new revenue growth, retaining clients, and consistently hitting sales targets while maintaining DUNK’s reputation for integrity and performance. You will draw upon your knowledge of SEO, Paid Search, Social and Email Marketing to ensure that every pitch we deliver is the right solution for the client. This is a role that is part strategy, part sales, part relationships and full-time awesome.
