We’re looking for a commercially minded Senior Ad Sales Account Manager to help small and medium-sized businesses unlock the value of a growing advertising platform backed by a global leader in AI.

This is more than a traditional account management role. You’ll combine consultative sales, hands‑on campaign expertise and strategic client management to help advertisers launch campaigns, improve performance and scale their investment. You’ll work directly with business owners and marketing decision-makers, turning advertising data into actionable insights and measurable business outcomes.

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a growing advertising business, sharing client insights and helping shape best practices as the platform evolves.

1. Own Client Relationships & Drive Growth

• Manage and develop a portfolio of SMB advertisers, becoming a trusted partner in their digital advertising journey.
• Understand clients’ business objectives, target audiences and marketing challenges to recommend tailored advertising strategies.
• Build account growth plans, identify opportunities to increase advertising investment and develop long‑term client relationships.
• Lead regular performance reviews, present insights and agree clear actions to improve results.
• Proactively identify retention risks, resolve concerns and strengthen advertiser engagement.
• Advise advertisers on campaign objectives, audience targeting, budgets, creative messaging and measurement.
• Support clients through onboarding, campaign setup, launch and ongoing optimisation.
• Analyse campaign metrics, including impressions, click‑through rates, cost per click, conversion rates, cost per acquisition and return on ad spend, where available.
• Identify the reasons behind underperforming campaigns and recommend practical improvements across creative, targeting, budget allocation and campaign setup.
• Develop testing strategies to help advertisers understand what works, improve performance and make confident investment decisions.
• Collaborate with internal teams to resolve campaign delivery, tracking or technical issues.

3. Combine Consultative Selling with Commercial Results

• Engage existing and prospective advertisers through proactive calls, consultations, emails and follow‑ups.
• Understand advertiser needs, qualify growth opportunities and recommend solutions aligned with their commercial objectives.
• Confidently address objections by demonstrating the value of advertising solutions and explaining performance opportunities.
• Balance excellent customer experience with clear commercial accountability, revenue targets and activity expectations.
• Maintain consistent engagement across your portfolio, including an expectation of approximately 40–50 calls per day.

4. Help Shape a Growing Advertising Platform

• Maintain accurate account plans, pipeline updates, forecasts and client activity in Salesforce or an equivalent CRM.
• Monitor account health, identify opportunities and document campaign recommendations and agreed actions.
• Share advertiser feedback, recurring challenges and campaign insights with internal stakeholders.
• Contribute to improving onboarding processes, account management playbooks and advertising best practices.
• Work collaboratively while adapting to evolving products, processes and client needs.

What We’re Looking For

• Fluent written and spoken English and German (C1 level) or Dutch (C1 level)
• Proven experience in digital advertising, performance marketing, advertising sales or digital advertising account management.
• Hands‑on experience launching, managing and optimising digital advertising campaigns.
• Experience managing multiple client or advertiser relationships and advising on campaign strategy, performance and budgets.
• Strong understanding of advertising metrics and the ability to turn data into commercially valuable recommendations.
• Experience developing advertising creative, writing ad copy or briefing creative teams, with an understanding of what drives engagement and conversions.
• A track record of retaining clients, growing accounts or increasing advertising investment.
• Confident consultative selling, negotiation, presentation and objection‑handling skills.
• Experience working towards commercial targets and managing proactive customer outreach.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and CRM discipline.
• Fluent written and spoken English.

Highly desirable

• Experience with paid social platforms such as Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Snapchat or Pinterest.
• Background in a digital advertising agency, advertising platform or performance marketing team.
• Experience supporting SMB advertisers with different budgets, objectives and levels of marketing expertise.
• Knowledge of conversion tracking, attribution, creative testing and landing‑page optimisation.
• Experience with Salesforce and sales engagement tools.
• Experience supporting the launch or adoption of a new advertising product or working within a developing platform environment.

The Mindset That Will Help You Succeed

You’re proactive, resilient and comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment where products and processes continue to evolve. Most importantly, you take ownership of outcomes and enjoy finding opportunities to help businesses achieve more.
