Vice President, Business Development

About Techne Media

Techne Media helps clients reach their audiences across multiple screens with data-informed planning and execution. Our approach replaces the decades-old mindset of traditional and digital advertising planning, adopting a strategy that asks simply: "Where is my audience, and how can I reach them?"

This screen-agnostic approach is built on data, not instinct. By utilizing public and proprietary data, Techne plans and places media based on an audience's media consumption habits, psychographic data, and the effectiveness of an impression.

About the Role

We are seeking a Vice President of Business Development to drive revenue growth, expand our client base, and build long-term strategic partnerships within the political, public affairs, and advocacy space. This role is ideal for a highly motivated, entrepreneurial sales leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is energized by building relationships, closing deals, and shaping strategy.

In this position, you will embody Techne's core values, bringing curiosity, discipline, integrity, and leadership into every client interaction and internal collaboration. Success requires a deep understanding of the public affairs and advocacy landscape, including key stakeholders and buying cycles. You will partner with Ad Engineers and internal teams to develop sophisticated advertising and targeting plans, translating complex ad tech concepts into clear, compelling client-facing narratives.

Hiring Process

1. Initial screening call to discuss background and role fit.
2. Deep-dive interview with the leadership team focusing on strategic thinking and sales acumen.
3. Final round discussion regarding culture alignment and vision.

Our Culture

Techne is committed to fostering an environment of curiosity, discipline, integrity, and leadership.
