Unity's advertising platform reaches billions of people each month across mobile, gaming, and connected TV. As a Sales Executive on the Agency & Brand Partnerships team, you will be responsible for driving advertising revenue from a named book of agency holding companies, independent agencies, brands, retail media networks, and commerce media networks. You will own the full commercial relationship — from pitching through negotiation, close, and expansion.
This is a quota-carrying role for an entrepreneurial, connected sales professional who thrives on building relationships, navigating complex organizations, and translating Unity's data and reach into compelling brand advertising solutions. You'll work alongside world-class Account Managers, and in tight collaboration with product and marketing, to bring the best of Unity to market.
- Own a named territory of agency accounts, brands, retail media networks, and commerce media networks; carry and consistently deliver against a quarterly and annual revenue quota.
- Develop and execute account plans for each assigned relationship — identifying key decision-makers, mapping spend pools, multi-threading, uncovering objectives, and building tailored Unity solutions.
- Drive the full sales cycle: prospecting and outreach, opportunity qualification, needs analysis, proposal and media plan development, RFP response, negotiation, and deal close.
- Position Unity's brand advertising solutions — including managed service campaigns, PMP and Programmatic Guaranteed deals, Audience Hub activations, and custom audience packages — as the optimal vehicle for brand KPIs.
- Develop strong working relationships with media investment leads, programmatic trading desk directors, agency planners and buyers, and brand-side media teams.
- Collaborate with Account Managers post-sale to ensure smooth campaign onboarding, delivery against client KPIs, and proactive identification of upsell and renewal opportunities.
- Build and maintain a clean, accurate Salesforce pipeline; provide reliable weekly forecasts to the Head of Agency Sales and Finance.
- Lead executive briefings, attend agency training days, and represent Unity at industry events.
- Serve as the client's internal advocate: channel agency and brand feedback into Unity's product and marketing roadmaps through regular internal QBRs and feedback loops.
- Track competitive activity across peer SSPs, ad networks, gaming media, and emerging media platforms; develop strategies to defend and grow Unity's share of wallet.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5–9 years of experience in digital advertising sales, with a focus on agency or brand-direct relationships; prior experience at a programmatic platform, SSP, ad network, or premium publisher is strongly preferred.
- Quota-carrying track record: consistent at-plan or above-plan performance over multiple years, ideally in a consultative, programmatic, or multi-product sales environment.
- Established relationships at multiple agency holding companies (WPP, Publicis, Omnicom, IPG, Dentsu, Havas) and independent agencies, at the investment and trading desk level; ability to open doors and navigate large, matrixed organizations.
- Fluency in programmatic deal mechanics: PMP, Programmatic Guaranteed, Curated Marketplaces, open auction; ability to work alongside DSP and SSP partners to drive deal adoption and spend.
- Experience selling to or partnering with retail media networks (RMNs) or commerce media networks (CMNs); understanding of off-platform extension and programmatic supply partnerships is a strong plus.
- Strong storyteller: able to synthesize Unity's audience data, performance metrics, and case studies into a compelling pitch tailored to each client's unique brand objectives.
- Organized, disciplined, and process-driven: you run a tight pipeline, deliver accurate forecasts, and follow through on commitments.
- Team-first: you share intelligence generously with Account Managers, sales development representatives, product, marketing and other colleagues, and you play to win for the team, not just your number.
BONUS POINTS
- Prior experience at a DSP, SSP, leading publisher or a comparable programmatic platform.
- Understanding of mobile app or immersive media advertising; ability to articulate the brand value of gaming audiences to non-endemic advertisers.
- Experience selling CTV, audio, or high-impact video formats alongside display and mobile in bundled or cross-channel proposals.
- Familiarity with brand measurement frameworks: brand lift, awareness/recall, footfall lift, purchase life, MRC cross-media measurement, and attention metrics.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Brand Partnerships Manager
Verify your role meets specialty occupation
Brand Partnerships Manager must require a specific bachelor's degree field, not just any degree, to pass USCIS specialty occupation review. Pull the O*NET profile for this title and confirm the listed education requirements match your credentials before applying.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search DOL's OFLC Wage Search for Labor Condition Applications filed under job titles like 'Brand Partnerships Manager' or 'Partnerships Manager.' Employers with recent LCA history have already cleared DOL's process and are more likely to sponsor again.
Use Migrate Mate to filter sponsoring employers
Search Brand Partnerships Manager roles on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active H-1B filing history for this title. That filters out companies that will decline before you invest time in their interview process.
Address cap timing in your offer negotiation
H-1B cap-subject petitions must be filed in April for an October 1 start date. If you receive an offer outside that window, negotiate a start date that aligns with the next fiscal year filing period so your employer doesn't miss the registration deadline.
Document partnership revenue impact for your petition
USCIS adjudicators sometimes question whether Partnerships Manager roles require specialized knowledge. Prepare a detailed job description linking your degree field to specific duties like contract structuring, brand strategy analysis, and co-marketing ROI measurement.
Confirm your employer is E-Verify enrolled
H-1B employers must be enrolled in E-Verify or complete I-9 verification. Ask your recruiter early, especially at smaller agencies or startups where partnerships roles are common but immigration infrastructure may be limited.
H-1B Visa Brand Partnerships Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Brand Partnerships Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, if the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as marketing, communications, or business administration. Generic roles where any degree qualifies may face USCIS scrutiny. Your employer's job description should tie specific duties like brand strategy, contract negotiation, and performance analysis to your degree discipline to strengthen the petition.
Which industries most commonly sponsor H-1B visas for Brand Partnerships Manager roles?
Tech platforms, streaming services, consumer packaged goods companies, and digital media agencies file the highest volume of H-1B petitions for partnerships-related roles. These employers typically have in-house immigration counsel and established LCA filing workflows. You can browse current openings filtered by sponsorship history on Migrate Mate.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my job search timeline as a Partnerships Manager?
Cap-subject H-1B registrations open each March for an April lottery, with approved petitions starting October 1. If you're on OPT and your work authorization expires before October, confirm your employer will file for a cap-gap extension to bridge the gap. Structure your job search to have an offer accepted by February at the latest.
Can my employer file my H-1B petition for a remote Brand Partnerships Manager role?
Yes, but your employer must file a separate Labor Condition Application for each worksite location where you'll regularly work, including your home address if you're remote. DOL requires the LCA to cover actual work locations, not just the employer's headquarters, so confirm your HR team accounts for your home state in the filing.
What documentation should I gather before my employer files my H-1B petition?
You'll need official transcripts showing your degree field, your passport, any prior visa documentation, and a detailed offer letter specifying your job title and duties. If your degree is from outside the U.S., obtain a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization. USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence if the degree-to-role connection isn't explicit in your transcripts.
