About the Opportunity & Team

This role sits in Los Angeles driving our growth strategy across the WPP ecosystem. As a Sales Director dedicated to WPP, you will act as the primary strategic commercial partner across WPP agencies (including Mindshare, Wavemaker, EssenceMediacom, and GroupM) and brand direct clients.

This team is responsible for driving our advertiser-first strategy and accelerating revenue growth through strategic agency partnerships. You will collaborate daily with cross-functional partners across Insights, Customer Experience, and Technical Solutions to turn client objectives into high-performing, innovative media strategies.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, excel at building deep relationships across complex agency networks, and are excited to bring Teads' cutting-edge adtech solutions to life, this is your stage.

About the Role

As a Sales Director, your core mission is to expand Teads' commercial footprint and accelerate revenue growth across WPP agencies and associated brand-direct accounts. You will take full accountability for managing the complete commercial lifecycle, from navigating complex agency trading desks to delivering consultative pitches and driving ongoing campaign performance.

Success in this role means achieving regional revenue targets, deepening partner adoption across CTV, online video (OLV), display, and programmatic solutions, and maximizing client renewal rates.

What You'll Do

• Identify and close high-potential revenue opportunities to grow our market footprint across WPP agencies and brand-direct accounts.


• Navigate and establish deep, multi-threaded relationships across complex WPP structures-from trading desks (GroupM / Choreograph) and planning teams to executive leadership.


• Educate agency partners and brand clients on Teads' cutting-edge offerings across CTV, OLV, digital display, and programmatic advertising.

Consultative Strategy & Solution Alignment

• Align Teads' omnichannel product portfolio with the evolving business needs of WPP prospects and clients to deliver tailored, high-impact campaign solutions.


• Partner seamlessly with internal cross-functional teams-including Insights, Customer Experience, and Technical Solutions-to execute flawless campaigns and optimize client satisfaction.

Pipeline Management & Operational Excellence

• Maintain a disciplined, accurate sales pipeline and pipeline hygiene within internal CRM systems to ensure precision in revenue forecasting.


• Review and analyze key operational and campaign inputs-such as RFPs, trade agreement margins, and performance metrics-to optimize account growth and renewal rates.

What Will You Bring to the Team?

• Core Experience: 7-10 years of proven digital media sales experience, ideally focused on video, CTV, or programmatic channels.


• Agency Network & Domain Expertise: Strong existing network across WPP / GroupM agencies (e.g., Mindshare, Wavemaker, EssenceMediacom, Choreograph) and direct advertiser contacts, paired with a solid understanding of CTV, OLV, digital display, and programmatic buying.


• Communication Skills: Excellent written, verbal, and presentation capabilities, with demonstrated skill in negotiating and influencing key agency and brand decision-makers.


• Mindset & Execution: Proactive, collaborative, and self-directed approach with comfort navigating a fast-moving, rapidly evolving adtech landscape.

What You'll Get

• Meaningful scope & real ownership - direct accountability for driving growth across high-profile WPP accounts with trusted autonomy.


• Global exposure and genuinely complex challenges at real scale - reach 2.2Bn users/month across 18Bn ad opportunities/day.


• Smart, ambitious peers across 30+ markets in a collaborative, cross-border setup.


• A genuinely human culture - high care alongside high accountability.


• Real investment in your growth - structured mentorship, coaching, courses, workshops, certifications, and leadership development programs.


• At Teads, your impact travels further .
