Sales Director

Compensation: $130K-$140K base uncapped commission

We're partnering with a high-growth ad tech company that's redefining how brands connect with audiences across the open web.

With strong traction internationally and fresh funding secured, the business is now launching its US expansion - and hiring a foundational commercial leader to drive that growth.

This is a rare chance to step into a true "second on the ground" sales role, with the autonomy to build a market, shape strategy, and play a key role in scaling the US business.

The company works with brands and agencies to deliver performance-driven campaigns across a curated network of premium publishers.

Their model focuses on:

• High-intent audiences across verticals such as gaming, tech, and education

• Contextual targeting in a post-cookie landscape

• Premium, brand-safe inventory

• A managed service approach focused on outcomes, not just impressions

They sit in a unique position between traditional ad networks and programmatic platforms - offering a more strategic, performance-led solution.

As Sales Lead (US), you will:

• Own and drive new business revenue across the US

• Build a pipeline from scratch across agencies and brands

• Sell a managed service, programmatic offering focused on performance

• Develop relationships with independent agencies and mid-market brands initially

• Partner with leadership to shape US go-to-market strateg

This is a Hunter Seller position, needing someone that can really go 'knock on doors'.

• 4-10 years' experience in digital media / ad tech sales

• Proven track record of generating new business revenue

• Strong experience selling:

  • Programmatic solutions

  • Managed service offerings

  • Performance-led media

• Established relationships with agencies and/or brands

• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build from zero
  
  
  

• Foundational US hire with significant ownership and visibility

• Backed by funding and entering a major growth phase

• Clear product-market fit in a fast-evolving space

• Strong earning potential with uncapped commission

• Opportunity to build and lead a team as the business scales
