We're an award-winning digital marketing agency made up of creative, passionate people who are laser-focused on providing digital marketing results for our clients.
Digital Third Coast is seeking a Senior Manager, Sales & Growth to help drive new-business revenue and build a stronger, more consistent sales pipeline. This is a quota-carrying sales role. You'll lead sales conversations, manage opportunities from first call to close, and create new pipeline through referral and partner relationships, networking, and re-engaging past prospects.
We have strong service delivery, long-standing client relationships, and nearly two decades of experience in digital marketing. Our biggest opportunity now is growth, and this role will play a hands-on part in making it happen.
Deep search marketing experience isn't required. If you have strong sales instincts and the curiosity to learn, we'll invest real time teaching you SEO, paid media, AI search, GEO/AEO, our services, and our clients. And if you know search marketing well and have some sales experience, we'll help you build the sales side.
You'll report directly to our CEO and work closely with our marketing, SEO, and paid media teams. This is a sales role, not an account management or client success role.
Experience level: 2+ years of B2B sales or search marketing experience. You don't need to be an expert at both.
Have 5+ years of sales experience and hands-on experience selling in our industry? Take a look at our Director of Sales & Growth opening.
Digital Third Coast has built its reputation on measurable marketing. Since 2007 we’ve delivered SEO, content, and paid media strategies that drive revenue, not vanity stats.
We’re recognized nationally as a Best and Brightest Place to Work and believe in making a measurable difference for both our clients and our team. We are a highly collaborative team with a love for learning.
Sell new business

Cold calling isn't the centerpiece. Proactive business development is.

• Help evaluate which channels create good opportunities
Identify expansion opportunities
• Spot places where another DTC service could help an existing client
• Support commercial conversations around expanded scopes
You don't need to be an expert in all of these on day one, but this is where you'll spend your time:
• Pipedrive: You'll help shape how we structure stages, forecasting, and win/loss tracking
• Slack, Teamwork, Microsoft Office: Day-to-day collaboration, email, and calendar
• Ahrefs and Semrush: Researching prospects so you can speak credibly about their search performance
• AI tools for speed and ideation
We want someone who sees an empty pipeline and thinks: What can I do about it? The right person is:
• Proactive, resourceful, and commercially minded
• Curious, with strong questioning skills
• Competitive, persistent, and comfortable hearing "no"
• Comfortable being measured against a quota
• Strong at building genuine relationships and willing to ask for the business
• Organized and consistent with follow-up
• Interested in continuously improving their sales skills
• Willing to attend conferences and networking events, and to travel when an important opportunity justifies it
We don't expect immediate technical expertise. We expect curiosity, effort, and steady improvement. We expect a learning curve, but not a passive onboarding: you'll be in real sales conversations from the start.

• Demonstrated B2B sales ability, ideally selling services, solutions, or other consultative offerings

• Strong follow-up habits and the ability to stay organized across multiple opportunities
• CRM experience, or a willingness to build strong CRM discipline

• An existing professional network and experience generating referrals
• Experience networking for business development
