Position Summary
Why join our team?
The Ads Partnerships Team sits within the European Service Business Office (ESBO) in the heart of London, driving the growth and strategic evolution of Samsung Ads EMEA—part of Samsung’s global media and advertising division.
Operating at the centre of the Connected TV (CTV) and mobile monetization ecosystem, we partner with the world’s leading adtech platforms, demand sources, and data infrastructure providers to power how advertising flows across Samsung’s vast global device footprint.
Joining this team means operating at the dynamic intersection of strategy, technology, and revenue:
- Unmatched Scale & Influence: Directly influence platform and infrastructure decisions that shape the future of programmatic CTV across millions of screens.
- True End-to-End Ownership: Identify, structure, and scale high-impact partnerships from concept and term sheet to market execution.
- High-Visibility Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional leadership across Commercial, Product, Legal, Privacy, and Global HQ in Suwon to turn strategy into measurable business outcomes.
Our team’s core mission is anchored across four strategic pillars:
- Empowering Commercial Growth: Delivering best-in-class partner integrations that support our client-facing sales teams.
- Pioneering Product Innovation: Identifying strategic opportunities to enhance and differentiate our CTV and mobile offering.
- Full-Lifecycle Deal Execution: Leading commercial, technical, and contractual dealmaking with tier-one global partners.
- Strategic Ecosystem Leadership: Driving long-term stakeholder alignment and governance both internally and across the wider AdTech market.
Role And Responsibilities
Your key responsibilities
- Drive Strategic Sourcing & Pipeline: Proactively map the EMEA and global adtech landscape (SSPs, DSPs, measurement, identity, and data clean rooms) to identify and onboard high-impact partners that enhance Samsung’s agency and advertiser propositions.
- Lead Full-Cycle Deal Execution: Own end-to-end dealmaking—from initial outreach, business casing, and term sheet negotiation through to final contractual execution.
- Navigate Regulatory & Contractual Excellence: Partner seamlessly with internal Legal and Privacy teams to resolve complex commercial and technical blockers, ensuring all agreements uphold robust data protection standards (e.g., GDPR, ePrivacy).
- Spearhead Data & Measurement Strategy: Build a robust pipeline of data and measurement integrations across key European markets, informing complex commercial, legal, and financial deal structures.
- Drive Cross-Functional & Global Alignment: Collaborate with stakeholders across Product, Product Marketing, Business Development, Sales, and Samsung HQ in Suwon to align partner initiatives with global business priorities.
- Establish Governance & Scale: Develop scalable evaluation frameworks, reporting models, and KPIs to continuously monitor partner performance and maximize ongoing commercial value.
- Serve as an AdTech Thought Leader: Act as the subject matter expert on ecosystem trends, regulatory shifts, and emerging technologies, directly influencing the product and monetization roadmap for Samsung Ads.
