Wunderkind is a programmatic advertising platform that serves behaviorally-triggered ads on premium publishers. Unlike traditional ad placements that interrupt content consumption, Wunderkind's proprietary technology waits until a user has finished reading before rendering ads—resulting in higher engagement, better brand safety, and improved user experience.
As Director of Programmatic Sales, you will lead revenue growth across a specified portfolio of agency, trading desk, brand, and DSP accounts in the Austin and greater Texas region. This is a strategic sales leadership role focused on driving demand for Wunderkind's display and video ad inventory.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing deep expertise in Wunderkind's product differentiation and translating it into client value propositions
- Building and nurturing relationships with multiple decision-makers in the programmatic buying ecosystem (in-house marketers, agencies, trading desks)
- Designing and executing targeted sales strategies to qualified prospects
- Collaborating with account management to ensure client success and revenue maximization
- Serving as a market liaison, providing feedback to internal teams on evolving buyer needs and competitive dynamics
You will own the largest and most strategic territory within your sales pod, with accountability for meeting or exceeding both team and individual revenue targets in a high-growth, fast-moving environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree plus demonstrated experience in digital media or digital advertising
- Minimum 8+ years in online programmatic advertising sales, with at least 5 years in a dedicated sales role
- Proven track record of owning and growing strategic territories and delivering revenue impact
- Extensive programmatic industry knowledge with demonstrated business growth results
- Robust network of buy-side contacts with established relationships and trust
- Experience with DSPs, ad exchanges, ad servers, and optimization platforms (preferred)
- Experience selling CPA, CPC, and CPM campaigns
- Entrepreneurial mindset, resourcefulness, and comfort with ambiguity in a scaling organization
- Persuasive communication skills and passion for marketing technology
