## Job description

About Wunderkind:

Wunderkind ads are 'behaviorally triggered', meaning that ads are served on a premium list of publishers only when a user is done consuming content. Our proprietary tag is integrated directly on the publisher page to track on-site user behavior - making 'net new' ad placements. How we serve the ad is why we are different from our competitors in-market.

Rather than placing an ad in front of someone while they're actively trying to read content, our technology patiently waits until a visitor has stopped reading before rendering our ad on the page. And that patience pays off -- it turns out that when an ad experience respects the user's reason for visiting a page, the user respects the ad experience in return. This unique, brand safe approach to ad experience gives an advertiser's message more attention and greater engagement.

About the Role:

Here at Wunderkind, we have an innovative and truly differentiated enterprise product that fundamentally changes how publishers monetize their websites and you can play a key part in leading that shift.

Wunderkind Ads is looking for a top-performing Account Manager to work with our existing business team to retain and expand agency, trading desk, brand and DSP accounts across the midwest region. We are looking for someone with a proven track record of driving retention and building healthy client relationships. You will be given tremendous responsibility early on, immediately start to build a network of relationships from leading agencies, and have the chance to directly contribute to the explosive growth of Wunderkind as a key player in the market.

Responsibilities:

- Manage and grow a roster of key agency relationships
- Work closely with Sales to expand revenue streams for existing accounts
- Become an expert on the use and best practices of Wunderkind
- Offer clients insight on how to launch and improve campaigns across Wunderkind inventory
- Provide ongoing management to clients as new features and inventory are added to our repertoire
- Work with Product Management to help define and innovate features of the platform
- Help develop operationalize best practices by creating training materials, sales materials and customer facing guides

Basic Qualifications:

- 2+ years of online advertising experience required; 1+ years of client-facing experience
- Expertise in working with programmatic ad inventory, DSPs, ad exchanges, ad servers, and other optimization platforms is a plus
- Experience managing CPA, CPC, and CPM marketing campaigns

Additional Qualifications:

- Outstanding troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving abilities coupled with superb communication skills to relay your solutions
- Detail-oriented with the ability to project manage, set priorities and meet deadlines when managing multiple client relationships
- Motivated, tenacious, and resourceful
- Persuasive and compelling - able to communicate on behalf of Wunderkind in formal and informal settings
- Comfortable in a high-growth environment where roles and responsibilities may shift
- Entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for the marketing technology space and a healthy dose of humility

On the fence? Apply anyway! We know that imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates, and don’t want it to get in the way of meeting you!

The base salary range for this role is $80,000-87,500.
