  Conduct regular 1:1s, deal reviews, and pipeline inspections to ensure the team is executing with rigor against revenue targets, operating to shared standards, and continuously improving coverage and quality of client engagement.
• 3
  Identify skill gaps and design individual development plans, including mentoring, training, and stretch opportunities that enable IC progression across the ladder.
• 4
  Drive a culture of ownership, accountability, and feedback, celebrating top performance while addressing underperformance fairly and promptly.
• 5
  Build and execute quarterly and annual business plans for the pod—setting revenue targets, defining product and vertical priorities, and establishing pacing milestones that ladder up to GSA and LCS goals.
• 6
  Use internal and external data (Reddit signals, industry benchmarks, client public filings, measurement results) to inform segment strategy, whitespace analysis, and share-of-wallet growth plans for your accounts.
• 7
  Maintain accurate pipeline; partner with Sales Finance and Sales Ops on scenario planning, quota deployment, and coverage models.
• 8
  Ensure the pod consistently meets or exceeds revenue targets, with a focus on YoY growth, revenue diversification across ad products, and global growth.

• 11
  Ensure the team consistently delivers insight-led, consultative narratives that connect Reddit’s value proposition to the client’s broader business, not just media metrics.
• 12
  Establish repeatable operating cadences (e.g., QBRs, forecast reviews, deal councils) within the pod and with XFN partners to ensure alignment on priorities, risks, and resource allocation.
• 13
  Collaborate with GSA colleagues in other regions to harmonize global account strategies, share playbooks, and coordinate on enterprise-wide opportunities and challenges.
• 14
  Contribute to vertical and channel-level initiatives (e.g., global playbooks, sales training, industry narratives) that scale beyond your immediate pod.
