Account Manager, Media Sales

About the company

JOLT is a global digital out-of-home (DOOH) and electric vehicle charging company, operating across Australia, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand, and now expanding into the United States. We combine EV charging infrastructure with premium digital media, connecting brands with people in high-attention, real-world locations such as retail, dining, and urban streets, while supporting everyday charging needs for drivers. In 2026, JOLT will enter the US through the acquisition of a substantial portion of the Volta Media Network from Shell, adding thousands of charging and media sites across major US markets. This is a rare opportunity to join a growing global business at a pivotal moment and help build its next chapter in the US.
