- Team Alignment: Work seamlessly with mid-to-senior leaders across Product  and Demand Operations to package, position, and execute high-impact CTV solutions.
- Scope of Ownership: Take end-to-end accountability for building a robust new-business pipeline, navigating programmatic buyer channels (DSPs, SSPs, Trade Desks), and winning strategic CTV revenue.
- Impact Metric: Success in this role means achieving and exceeding quarterly quota targets, expanding active CTV account penetration, and establishing Teads as a top-tier partner for premium CTV inventory across the UK.

CTV & Ad-Tech Expertise

- Navigate the complex buy-side CTV and programmatic ad-tech ecosystem, leveraging deep knowledge of DSPs, SSPs and programmatic guaranteed deals.
- Translate complex CTV metrics (reach & frequency optimization and household graph targeting for example) into high-value commercial solutions for buyers.
- Identify market shifts, competitor strategies, and demand-side buying trends across the UK to refine Teads' go-to-market commercial positioning.

Stakeholder Management & Industry Influence

- Cultivate direct C-suite and VP-level relationships across media agencies, programmatic buying desks, and brand marketers.
- Serve as Teads’ subject matter expert at key industry conferences, buyer roundtables, and senior client meetings, establishing thought leadership in the CTV landscape.

- Smart, ambitious peers: Work alongside leading agency, media, and programmatic specialists across 30+ global markets in a high-performing collaborative environment.
- A genuinely human culture: Experience high care alongside high accountability in a supportive, performance-driven UK team.
- Real investment in your growth: Access structured leadership development, executive coaching, CTV-specific sales enablement, and ongoing industry certifications.
