We're partnering with a leading international digital media business to recruit a Programmatic Sales Director.
This is a high-impact commercial role focused on driving new programmatic advertising revenue across premium digital media inventory. You'll have the opportunity to shape growth, develop strategic partnerships, and work with a highly engaged global audience.
The Role
Reporting into the commercial leadership team, you'll be responsible for developing new business opportunities with demand-side platforms (DSPs) and agency programmatic buying teams in the UK and Europe.

- Deliver compelling, insight-led presentations and commercial proposals.
- Provide market intelligence and customer feedback to influence commercial strategy and product development.
- Consistently exceed sales and revenue objectives.
