Job description

Who we are

Lemrock builds the infrastructure of agentic commerce.

Tomorrow, consumers won't just buy on e-commerce websites. They will discover, compare and purchase directly inside conversational AI interfaces like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and a growing long tail of specialized AI assistants.

For brands, this is a major shift: if they are not present in these environments, they become invisible.

Our mission: enable any brand to exist, sell and distribute in this new channel.

We raised a €7M seed round (the first in Europe on this market), with Jean-Baptiste Rudelle, founder of Criteo, on our board, and the Bpifrance DeepTech label.

Today, Lemrock is already:

• 100M+ conversations per month


• 150+ brand clients


• a $100B market structuring at high speed

The role

Media agencies decide where a large share of brand budgets go. You own that channel. You get Lemrock referenced at the holdings and the independents, negotiate the framework agreements, and get us into media plans. You are the person the planning and trading teams call when they want an agentic-commerce line in a plan.

Agency ownership

• Own the agency accounts as your book: Publicis, Havas, Omnicom, Dentsu, WPP / GroupM, plus the independents


• Get Lemrock referenced: run the vendor onboarding, negotiate the framework agreements and the annual terms, and lead the Joint Business Plans (JBPs)


• Represent Lemrock in the agency ecosystem: co-marketing with the holdings, industry events, thought leadership


• Evangelize planning, trading and strategy teams: trainings, lunch and learns, agency days


• Get Lemrock into media plans and grow agency-sourced revenue quarter over quarter

Motion

• Build the agency playbook with the Head of Sales: mapping of the holdings, decision-makers, calendar of pitches and plan cycles

Market feedback

• Bring back what agencies need to buy us at scale: formats, reporting, measurement, pricing

Must-have

• You carry a portfolio of media agencies today, at a sales house (régie) or an adtech


• You can name three holdings where you get a meeting this week, and the person you would call


• You have owned an agency-sourced budget with a number attached, and can tell us the number


• Comfortable in front of trading, planning and strategy teams


• Professional English

A plus

• Framework agreements and referencing you negotiated yourself


• Adtech fluency


• Startup or scale-up experience

What we offer

• Competitive base + attractive variable


• The agency channel is yours to build: no legacy, no shared accounts


• A product that works, clients that renew, a demanding team

Start date: ASAP.
