  • Maintain strong pipeline hygiene across 50–100 accounts with disciplined stage progression.

Who you are

  • 6-8 years of sales experience, ideally in programmatic, digital advertising or AdTech.

  • Skilled communicator able to translate technical, multi-product and platform based concepts for executive-level audiences.
  • Established relationships with small to mid-size agencies or brand-direct marketers (a strong plus).
