Job description

Who we are

Venatus is the gaming advertising specialist. We connect brands with audiences In the Zone and grow the value of those audiences for the publishers that built them. We operate at the intersection of content, mindset, and commercial impact, turning gaming attention into measurable outcomes for brands and sustainable revenue for publishers.

Recognizable brands like EA, Miniclip, Scopely, and Rovio come to us for campaigns that work. Around 900 run through us directly each year, built by our in-house creative team and sold across both direct and programmatic channels. Many of our publisher partners have been with us for more than a decade.

This is an exciting moment for Venatus. Our acquisition by MediaScale Capital Limited will broaden what we can offer publishers and advertisers alike, adding data and identity tools, technology and infrastructure to the audience expertise we are built on.

London is our HQ, with regional teams in Amsterdam, Chicago, LA, New York, Sydney, Seoul, and Manila.

What we’re looking for

An exciting opportunity has opened up for a driven Account Manager to join our London sales team to help shape the future of gaming and entertainment advertising.

In this role, you’ll manage and grow an established portfolio of agency and brand accounts while supporting new business across our expanding portfolio of world‑class gaming IP. You’ll be selling ad solutions across some of the most iconic gaming and entertainment sites, bringing brands and gamers together in ways that matter.

You’ll look after revenue and relationships with direct clients and agencies, combining your love for data and insights with your talent for building strong, long‑lasting partnerships. We’re looking for someone proactive, organised, and genuinely passionate about creating meaningful connections between publishers and audiences.

We move fast, so you’ll need to be comfortable juggling multiple priorities and spotting opportunities as they arise. As this is a maternity cover role, you’ll be able to hit the ground running and make an impact from day one. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do:

• Manage and grow revenue across an established portfolio of agency and brand accounts, while helping to identify new opportunities.

• Support the development and pitching of creative advertising solutions that connect brands with gaming audiences in meaningful ways.

• Manage your pipeline day to day - from proposals and bookings through to campaign delivery and renewals.

• Build strong relationships with key contacts and become a trusted day-to‑day partner for your clients.

• Keep clients up to date on new product launches and opportunities to maximise their spend.

• Provide regular campaign updates and insights to ensure advertisers are getting the best possible results.

• Report on sales figures and pipeline progress, keeping your accounts on track against targets.

• Work closely with internal teams to make sure we deliver what we promise.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in digital media sales or account management, ideally with some agency and brand relationships already in place.

• A passion for gaming and entertainment, and an understanding of what makes these audiences tick.

• Strong communication and presentation skills - you know how to put together a clear, compelling pitch.

• A self‑starter mindset - you’re proactive, resilient, and thrive on hitting (and exceeding) targets.

• Confidence with data and insights to back up your recommendations and deliver results.

• The ability to juggle multiple opportunities and build strong client relationships quickly.

• A collaborative approach – you care about not just what you achieve but how you achieve it.

Package:

• Base salary dependent on experience

• Uncapped commission

• Flexible working pattern & Summer Hours

• Cycle to Work scheme

• Season Ticket Loan scheme

• 25 days annual leave (inclusive of festive office closure) plus bank holidays and your birthday off

• Option to buy and sell annual leave allowance

• Excellent career opportunities in a growing, international company
