#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?
We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is not a maintenance role. This is a growth role built for a broadcast-experienced seller who is capable of doing it all — someone who has spent time in local TV, knows how to maximize opportunities, and is hungry to succeed as a multi-screen, multi-market powerhouse.
As an Account Executive on the Local Ad Sales team at CBS, you will sell across our full O&O footprint — with the ability to close multi-market broadcast deals that span from coast to coast. Layered on top of that is the opportunity to sell Paramount+ and Pluto TV streaming inventory, giving clients a truly end-to-end screen solution backed by one of the most recognized brands in media.
You will bring new business to the table. You will build client relationships that outlast any single campaign. And you will be held to results.

WHAT YOU BRING

This position is eligible to earn sales incentive compensation.
What We Offer
At Paramount, the spirit of inclusion feeds into everything that we do, on-screen and off.
