Account Executive – Local Media Sales (Draw + Commission)

Wheeling, WV | Full-Time Company: Nexstar Media Group (WTRF)

If you're a driven salesperson who wants control over your income, this is a high-opportunity role—not a capped salary job.

We provide a monthly draw against commission so you have consistent income while building your book of business—plus uncapped earnings as you grow.

You'll work directly with local businesses across the Ohio Valley, helping them reach customers through TV, digital, and streaming advertising solutions.

• Prospect and develop new business (calls, visits, networking)
• Build relationships with local business owners and decision-makers
• Create advertising strategies using TV + digital + streaming
• Present campaigns that drive measurable results
• Manage and grow an existing account list
• Work with internal teams to execute campaigns

Compensation (Transparent & Competitive)

• Monthly draw against commission (steady income while you ramp up)
• Uncapped commission – no ceiling on earnings
• Performance-based growth as your account list builds

What Makes Someone Successful Here

• Comfortable with outreach and building relationships
• Self-motivated and competitive
• Organized with strong follow-up habits
• Enjoys being in the field and part of the community

What We're Looking For

• 1+ year of sales or customer-facing experience
• Strong communication skills
• Valid driver's license
• Willingness to learn advertising and marketing solutions
• Media experience is a plus—but not required.

Established, trusted local brand

Full suite of advertising solutions (not just TV)

Great Fit For

• Outside sales reps

• Business development reps
• Anyone tired of capped commissions or hourly pay

Ongoing sales training and support

Real opportunity to build long-term income
