About Moby

Moby is changing the way people invest. We use AI to transform the world’s financial data and research into clear, actionable reports that anyone can understand. Our mission is to build the largest and most accessible investing research library in the world.

We already reach over 30 million people each month across our social channels and content platforms—and we’re just getting started. With a thriving marketing foundation in place, we’re now looking to scale our ad sales efforts with a dedicated leader focused on monetizing this reach.

We’re looking for an Ad Sales leader who’s ready to lead Moby’s revenue growth through strategic media partnerships with enterprise brands and agencies. This is a hands‑on sales leadership role responsible for managing the full sales cycle—from sourcing to closing and renewal.
