Account Executive Opportunity At iHeartMedia

iHeartMedia, the number one audio company in America, reaches 90% of Americans every month – a monthly audience that's twice the size of any other audio company – almost three times the size of the largest TV network – and almost four times the size of the largest ad-supported music streaming service. We're the largest podcast publisher, with more monthly downloads than the second- and third-largest podcast publishers combined.

We have the only complete audio ad technology stack in the industry for all forms of audio, from on-demand to broadcast radio, digital streaming radio and podcasting, which bring data, targeting, and attribution to all forms of audio at an unparalleled scale.

If you're excited about this role but don't feel your experience aligns perfectly with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. At iHeartMedia we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace and are looking for teammates passionate about what we do!
