We're looking for a
SeniorAccount Director, Strategic DSP Partnerships to join our team in New York and play a key role in shaping the future of neuro-contextual advertising at a global scale.
The RoleWe are seeking a Senior Director of Strategic DSP & Curation Partnerships to serve as a senior commercial leader in our New York hub. This is not a traditional "service" role. It is a high-visibility, revenue-owning position for a programmatic leader who can navigate the full plumbing of the ecosystem, selling to the sell-side and the buy-side alike and translate Seedtag's neuro-contextual edge into activated, scaled demand.
Your ChallengeAs Senior Account Director, Strategic DSP Partnerships, you will:
- Build the DSP playbook: Create and own the strategic playbook for our DSP partnerships - the repeatable approach to win, grow, and retain demand across our portfolio.
- Execute for growth across Web & CTV: Own and execute the strategy to grow the business across both the open web and CTV, turning the playbook into measurable revenue.
- Sell to sellers and curators alike: Act as the senior commercial lead to Tier-1 DSPs, their seller / sell-side teams, and the curator community - positioning Seedtag's SSP and agentic curation tools as the most efficient path to our neuro-contextual inventory.
- Serve DSP inventory managers, sellers and their clients: Work cross-team to better serve DSP inventory managers, DSP sellers, and their clients with Seedtag's bespoke audiences and services.
- Own the brief-to-activation journey: Show buyers how to move seamlessly from a campaign brief to live activation and self-service troubleshooting inside our curation tools - owning the experience end to end and removing friction at every hop.
- Carry weight in agency conversations: Lead senior agency dialogues that triangulate the opportunity across client, agency, and DSP, so that Seedtag inventory becomes the obvious, mutually valuable choice for all three.
- Curation & marketplace strategy: Design and scale bespoke Marketplaces, PMPs, and SPO (Supply Path Optimization) strategies built on Seedtag's unique data signals and NeuroX curation.
- C-suite representation: Own and grow C-level relationships across DSPs, agencies, and holding companies, and serve as a senior voice for Seedtag at industry events and within the broader programmatic community.
- Lead cross-functionally: Partner with and influence Product, Yield, Revenue Operations, and Engineering to shape the roadmap and keep our SSP and curation capabilities ahead of bidder logic and buyer needs.
- Own the number: Carry a revenue target and use deep data fluency to identify yield opportunities and improve auction win rates across your portfolio.
What You'll Need to Succeed- Experience: 10+ years in the programmatic ecosystem, with a track record on the SSP / Exchange or DSP partnership side and demonstrable ownership of a revenue number.
- Commercial & Sales: Proven enterprise sales experience selling to both demand-side (DSP, agency) and curation stakeholders; able to carry a quota, build pipeline, and close strategic partnerships.
- Technical Depth: Granular understanding of OpenRTB, auction dynamics, SPO, curation / Deal-ID workflows, and evolving identity frameworks (e.g., UID2.0); fluent enough to guide buyers through self-service activation and troubleshooting.
- Executive Presence: Comfortable owning C-suite relationships and representing the business externally, with strong executive storytelling and negotiation skills.
- Cross-Team Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead across Product, Operations, and Commercial teams in a matrixed environment, taking initiative and driving outcomes without waiting for direction.
- Mindset: An entrepreneurial "owner" who takes initiative, leads cross-team, and thrives where strategic thinking meets execution velocity.
