About Darkroom
Darkroom is the leading next-generation growth marketing firm engineering the brands of tomorrow. Founded in 2017, we set out to redefine what a modern agency could be, by replacing the inertia of legacy advertising behemoths with a model built for speed, intelligence, and measurable impact.
At our core, Darkroom is a human services company powered by Shadow, a universal AI commerce layer that integrates executive-level strategy with proprietary agentic technology. This fusion enables our teams to deliver outsized returns by enhancing creative output, operational efficiency, and revenue generation across every stage of the customer journey.
Our track record speaks for itself: billions in attributable revenue driven across e-commerce marketplaces, media networks, DTC ecosystems, and social commerce platforms. Every engagement feeds into our proprietary data infrastructure, enabling a continuous feedback loop that accelerates growth, improves margins, and compounds results across our client portfolio.
What began as a boutique design studio has evolved into one of the fastest-growing private companies in America (Inc. 5000) and among the most effective performance media agencies of the 2020s (Varos). Our founders were recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 for advancing the intersection of technology, marketing, and advertising, cementing Darkroom's role as a defining player in the future of media innovation.
About the Role
The Account Executive, Commerce Growth owns a new-business revenue number across Darkroom's commerce practice: Amazon (marketplace management and retail media), TikTok Shop and social commerce, Retention Marketing (email, SMS, lifecycle), and Digital Products (GEO / AI-search, SEO, CRO, web builds, and web support).
You lead with the marketplaces. Amazon and TikTok Shop are where your hunt starts - these are a couple of the highest-intent entry points in the market right now, and the fastest route into a brand's commerce P&L. Retention and Digital Products are how you widen the deal: once you are inside a brand's commerce operation, you are the person who sees that their email program is flat, their PDPs do not convert, and they are invisible in AI search - and who scopes and closes that work too.
You are a commercial, closer-minded operator who builds a book through partnerships, industry events, and targeted outreach - and who also fields and closes the inbound that arrives in your practice. You will become the person the market associates with Darkroom's commerce offering: at the conferences, in the platform partner ecosystems, and in the rooms where these deals get done.
