DSP Relationship Manager

WE ARE THE CHALLENGERS. ARE YOU? The AdTech ecosystem is broken. Its bloated, fragmented, and dominated by American giants who have forgotten what "partnership" actually means. At ConnectAd, were here to fix it. Born in Europe and built for transparency, we are the independent Supply Side Platform (SSP) thats putting publishers and DSPs back in control. With nearly 20 years of experience and a proprietary tech stack that leaves "legacy fat" in the rearview mirror, we offer the cleanest, most efficient path for programmatic budgets. We dont do ticket systems. We do people. And now, we need a powerhouse in London to lead our charge with DSP partners. THE ROLE As our DSP Relationship Manager (London), you arent just managing accounts; you are the face of the European alternative. You will be responsible for scaling our footprint with major DSPs, agencies, and trading desks, ensuring that ConnectAd is the first choice for Supply Path Optimization (SPO). What youll do: * Drive the "No AdTech-Tax" Mission: Educate DSPs on why our minimal take-rate makes their spend more competitive and their win-rates higher * SPO Leadership: Work directly with trading desks to move budgets to the shortest, cleanest path—our direct publisher relationships * Strategic Growth: Manage and scale existing partnerships with the likes of Google, Adform, and RTB House, while hunting for new opportunities * Tech Advocacy: Use our Smart Throttling Engine and low-latency infrastructure as your primary weapons to help DSPs reduce their infrastructure costs * Market Intelligence: Act as the bridge between Londons vibrant buy-side and our European product team to keep our stack ahead of the curve Requirements * The Experience: 3-5 years in Programmatic Advertising, specifically within the DSP or SSP landscape. You know the players, the protocols (OpenRTB 2.5), and the politics * The Network: An established "rolodex" of contacts within London-based DSPs and agency trading desks * The Mindset: Youre a challenger. Youre bored of the "big tech" bureaucracy and want to work somewhere where your decisions actually move the needle * The Tech Fluency: You can talk QPS, SPO, and latency without breaking a sweat * The Drive: You are "young, wild, and free" (metaphorically speaking)—ready to disrupt the status quo with a bit of cheek and a lot of data Benefits * Independent & Owner-Operated: No VC-overlords chasing short-term trends. We build for the long term * The European Shield: We lead with privacy and GDPR-compliance by design. Its not a checkbox; its our foundation * Sustainability: Join the Green Line Alliance. We are pioneering sustainable advertising by rewarding efficiency and renewable operations * Global Scale, Local Feel: 8 on-premise data centers, 500+ premium publishers, and a team that actually answers the phone OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU At ConnectAd, we believe diversity isnt a corporate buzzword—its our competitive advantage.
