• Close deals with agencies and support downstream activation into end advertiser platforms

Activation & Expansion

• Partner with internal teams to ensure successful campaign execution and delivery
• Use performance insights (CTR, engagement, conversion signals) to drive repeat usage
• Expand adoption across additional brands, therapeutic areas, and agency divisions

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with Operations, Product and Marketing to refine healthcare audience positioning and GTM
• Provide feedback on demand trends (e.g., HCP targeting, DTC engagement, therapeutic categories)

What Success Looks Like

• Agencies consistently activating and reselling healthcare audiences across multiple clients
• Growth in repeatable, scalable activation revenue across therapeutic areas
• Strong relationships with healthcare media planners, buyers, and programmatic teams
• Expansion across Holdco networks and increased share of healthcare media spend

What You'll Bring

• 6+ years of experience in digital media, adtech, or data sales
• Proven experience selling into agencies, ideally supporting healthcare or life sciences clients
• Strong understanding of programmatic ecosystems (DSPs, onboarding, identity, audience targeting)
• Familiarity with healthcare marketing use cases (HCP engagement, patient engagement, script lift, brand awareness)
• Experience working with major agency holding companies preferred
