Hiring: Sr. Solutions Architect (Pre Sales) Company: Nielsen Location: New York, NY Job Posted Time: 2026-09-15 10:58:13 Target Skills & Keywords : Linear, Nomad About the job Experience: •15 years in a consultative sales, pre-sales, or solutions-consulting capacity, with recognized expertise in data clean rooms, identity resolution, and privacy-safe data matching and analytics. Required Skills: •This role is ideal for a seasoned professional with a strong blend of advanced research expertise, extensive client-facing experience, a proven track record in sales, and a passion for driving strategic growth. •Rights holders (leagues, franchises, content owners): is my audience growing, not just being monetized? •Distributors (streamers, broadcasters): did the content I licensed actually pay for itself? •Agencies: how do we allocate budget across platforms to maximize growth, with one independent standard? •Media CFOs and CMOs: is their spend on content worth what's on the balance sheet, and which prospects convert with high lifetime value? •Privacy & governance stakeholders: can this data ever identify one person? (The answer must be no — and you must be able to prove it architecturally, not just assert it.) •Own and grow a book of strategic accounts, selling Bi-Directional primarily as an expansion into existing Nielsen relationships rather than net-new logos. •Consult with clients to identify solutions and align the product to a specific, quantified business need — translating a vague "we want better measurement" into a concrete use case (churn-risk scoring, streaming-nomad conversion, sponsorship lift, cross-platform migration, content valuation). Qualifications: •10–15 years in a consultative sales, pre-sales, or solutions-consulting capacity, with recognized expertise in data clean rooms, identity resolution, and privacy-safe data matching and analytics. •Proven track record selling data, identity, measurement, or analytics solutions into media, streaming, advertising, or agency accounts. •Proven experience commercializing sophisticated identity and data enrichment solutions; specific familiarity with Respondent Level Data (RLD), first-party data integrations, and bi-directional audience expansion methodologies is highly advantageous. •Strong consultative selling skills; able to open a credible conversation with a buyer before knowing exactly which use case will land, and to translate a business question into a technical use case. •Comfort explaining technical concepts — data clean rooms, identity resolution, privacy-safe matching, predictive scoring at scale — to both business and technical stakeholders. •Operational familiarity with the media measurement and ad-tech landscape (linear, streaming, digital, audio) is strongly preferred, including awareness of the competitive set and how to differentiate on methodology. •Communicates complex concepts; anticipates potential objections and influences others to adopt a different point of view. •Leads others to solve complex problems; uses analytical thinking, tools, and judgement to identify innovative solutions. •Requires depth and/or breadth of expertise in their own specialized area and general knowledge of related areas. •Impacts the achievement of customer, operational, project, or service objectives; work is guided by department objectives. Compensation: •This includes comprehensive health and wellness plans, a 401(k) with a Nielsen company match, and a generous paid time off policy Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
