They're building the future of immersive, programmatic-first advertising in gaming environments, and we’re looking for a Programmatic Sales Manager to help shape that future in the UK market.


If you're passionate about programmatic advertising, thrive in fast-moving environments, and want to join a global team pushing the boundaries of media innovation - read on.


🔍 About the Role


As Programmatic Sales Manager (UK), you'll play a critical role in accelerating programmatic revenue across agency, brand, and platform partners. You’ll own the full sales cycle - from prospecting and pitching to winning and expanding business relationships. This is your opportunity to lead growth in one of the fastest-evolving verticals in digital media: game advertising.


You'll collaborate closely with the UK Head of Advertiser Sales and cross-functional teams across Campaign Operations, Product, and Customer Success, delivering measurable outcomes in both performance and brand-led campaigns.


🎯 What You’ll Be Doing


  • Develop and execute strategic sales plans to hit (and exceed) programmatic revenue goals
  • Build, manage, and grow a strong pipeline of agency, brand, and platform clients
  • Drive new business and significantly grow the existing programmatic book of business
  • Champion game advertising as a mainstream programmatic media channel
  • Conduct in-person and virtual demos of the proprietary game advertising platform
  • Participate in agency workshops and thought-leadership sessions to drive adoption
  • Own accurate forecasting, CRM management, and market insights
  • Act as a subject matter expert in RTB, PMPs, and emerging programmatic buying trends
  • Stay current on programmatic and gaming trends, sharing learnings with internal teams


What You’ll Bring


  • 4+ years of digital media sales experience, with 3+ years in programmatic-specific roles
  • A proven ability to open doors and close deals with agencies, platforms, and direct brands
  • Deep understanding of the programmatic ecosystem: DSPs, SSPs, ad exchanges, and PMPs
  • Strong commercial acumen with a consultative sales approach
  • Experience in developing go-to-market strategies, ideally in collaboration with a sales leader
  • A natural relationship-builder with excellent presentation, negotiation, and communication skills
  • Comfort in hybrid work settings - equally effective in Zoom calls and face-to-face client meetings
  • Highly organized and able to thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment


🌟 Bonus Points


  • Background in game advertising, adtech startups, or challenger brand environments
  • Prior experience in an agency-side digital role
  • Familiarity with HubSpot or similar CRM tools
  • Strong industry contacts across media groups such as WPP, OMG, Dentsu, and Publicis


💥 Why You’ll Love It Here


  • Be part of a global, remote-first team of 50+ media innovators across APAC and EMEA
  • Work at the intersection of gaming, AdTech, and programmatic – a space exploding with opportunity
  • Contribute to a high-impact growth journey and be empowered to challenge the status quo
  • Collaborate with passionate leaders who believe in autonomy, agility, and innovation
