About the Role:

The Digital & Distribution Sales Manager will support the operational and commercial engine of the WPT Studios team, with a strong focus on data, financial analysis, and account management. This individual is highly proactive, takes initiative, and works both independently and as a collaborative member of the Studios team. You will assist with operational strategy, business processes, and systems for overall distribution — providing detailed sales forecasting, revenue tracking, and data reporting that the team depends on to make smart decisions.

This role requires strong financial acumen: tracking accounts payable and receivable, creating invoices alongside finance, and developing process improvements that eliminate bottlenecks and drive efficiency. You will also assist with client outreach, pitch materials, and campaign execution in support of the Director of Distribution and Ad Sales.

This role reports to the VP of Studios and serves as a primary point of contact for account planning and sales support. This is a hybrid role based out of a World Poker Tour designated office.

Develop and maintain dashboards and reports that track key metrics and provide a clear view of performance trends across all Studios operations.

Analyze industry, sales, market, consumer, and overall business data to surface insights that inform strategy and identify new opportunities.

Work with third-party tools to send invoices and account manage vendors and platforms.

Create strategies to support subscriber and revenue growth.

Client & Agency Support

Assist in maintaining the client and account list, supporting target account outreach alongside the Director of Distribution and Ad Sales.

Partner with the VP of Partnerships and Studios to ensure consistent brand identity and high-quality client deliverables.

Collect and create data metrics to support sales initiatives and develop case studies.

Internal Marketing Campaigns

Provide business solutions through media plans for internal purposes, interfacing with business units to build editorial calendars and marketing plans.

Create reports to measure ROI and identify actionable items for marketing internal product.

Develop strategic media solutions that grow the brand and ensure consistency across all elements of plan development and implementation.

Sales Account Management

Oversee client requests and troubleshoot issues with internal teams, proactively delivering solutions that ensure successful campaign execution.

Manage billing and financial deliverables — ensuring all are accounted for, accurate, and delivered on time.

Proactively reach out to OTT platforms to identify promotional activities and opportunities.

Create process improvements that streamline reporting, eliminate bottlenecks, and offer well-considered solutions for the department.
