• Partner with the Technical Account Manager to ensure curated Deal IDs are structured, propagated, and performing against partner expectations.
• Cultivate and grow relationships with demand-side partners(DSPs), agency precision-buying units (PBUs), and brand marketers to integrate Locality into their programmatic strategies.

Strategy, Positioning & Reporting

• Position Locality's differentiated value (local expertise, premium CTV inventory, Live Sports, LAE audience targeting, and LocalX Perform predictive performance) to unlock indirect demand.
• Forecast indirect revenue and report pipeline, spend, and performance against target.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR :

• 8+ years in the programmatic ecosystem (DSPs, SSPs, exchanges, and CTV platforms) with a demonstrable track record driving revenue-generating partnerships.
