About the team

Data sits at the heart of everything Adsquare does — it's the raw material behind every product we sell. This role leads our data sourcing function: a small, focused team responsible for the quality, legality, and strategic positioning of the data we bring in. You'll work hand-in-hand with Product, Legal, and Engineering, and grow the function as Adsquare scales.

Your Mission

Data is our product. You'll own the data we bring in — what we source, on what terms, to what standard — and grow that into a strategic function as Adsquare scales. A builder's role: you'll lead a small team today and shape what the function becomes.

Your Profile

• 6+ years in data acquisition, data partnerships, or strategic partnerships within adtech, martech, or the wider data ecosystem — with real depth, not just deal volume.

• A track record of both sourcing strategyandexecution: deciding what data matters, then securing it on good terms.

• Direct experience negotiating and managing data partnerships, ideally across multiple markets.

• Deep grounding in privacy and compliance — GDPR, CCPA, consent frameworks, privacy-enhancing technologies.

• Strong analytical instinct — able to evaluate data on quality, scale, coverage, and financial viability, not just take a supplier's word for it.

• A builder — comfortable shaping a function rather than inheriting a finished one, and comfortable in ambiguity.

• Direct, low-ego, high-integrity. Fits how we work: Drive, Resilience, No BS, Humility, Moral Compass.

What you will do

• Define and execute Adsquare's data sourcing strategy — what to acquire, build, or partner for, and the business case behind it.

• Identify, evaluate, and negotiate terms with global and local data providers (mobile apps, SDK networks, retail media, telcos, first-party data owners).

• Set data quality standards and the monitoring to enforce them — catching problems at the provider level, not when a client does.

• Own the legal and privacy posture on sourced data alongside Legal — consent, GDPR/CCPA and equivalents, licensing compliance.

• Manage existing data-partner relationships — value, optimisation, renewals.

• Partner closely with Product and Engineering on technical onboarding and evaluation of new data streams.

• Build and grow the team as the function scales.

Nice to Have

• Strong knowledge of programmatic advertising, location data, and industry identifiers.

• Enough technical fluency (APIs, data formats, cloud data transfer) to challenge and guide credibly.

• Experience intiating first-party data collection or a sourcing capability in a new market.
