The Impact You’ll Be Contributing to Moloco

As a Senior Growth Director at Moloco, you will own the growth and commercial strategy for Moloco’s most strategic, high-impact customers, representing a material share of company revenue. This role operates as a business leader and decision owner, accountable for multi-year revenue expansion, executive partnerships, and shaping how Moloco goes to market.

You will be responsible for setting the growth agenda, securing net-new revenue streams, and positioning Moloco as an indispensable, long-term growth partner. Your work will directly influence revenue trajectory, product strategy, and commercial standards across the organization.

Responsibilities

Strategic Revenue Growth & Commercial Leadership

• Own and deliver material, multi-million-dollar revenue targets across a portfolio of Moloco’s most strategic and complex customers, with accountability for forecast accuracy, risk management, and long-term expansion.
• Secure net-new lines of business while accelerating growth within existing accounts through new geographies, business units, use cases, and product adoption.
• Design and lead multi-quarter and multi-year joint business plans with executive stakeholders, establishing clear growth hypotheses, investment tradeoffs, and accountability on both sides.
• Lead complex commercial negotiations with economic buyers, including pricing, contract structure, and long-term partnership agreements.
• Maintain executive-level rigor across pipeline health and forecasting, making high-judgment calls on prioritization, resourcing, and downside mitigation.
• Shift customer conversations from short-term performance metrics to long-term LTV, durable growth, and strategic investment, influencing how customers allocate meaningful budget over time.

Executive Partnership & Stakeholder Management

• Build trusted, long-term relationships with VP and C-suite stakeholders, positioning yourself as a strategic advisor in the client’s boardroom.
• Navigate highly complex customer organizations, mapping power, decision-making, and incentives, and ensuring consistent access to — and alignment with — economic buyers.
• Influence budget allocation and long-term investment decisions through clear articulation of Moloco’s strategic value.
• Demonstrate strong executive presence, delivering high-altitude communication that simplifies complex performance data into actionable, business-level insights.
• Lead senior executive business reviews and strategic planning sessions, reinforcing Moloco’s role as a category-defining growth partner, not a point solution.

Product Advisor & Market Translator (Internal and External)

• Act as a trusted product and growth advisor to customers, leveraging deep expertise in mobile advertising, attribution (MMPs), and programmatic performance levers.
• Translate Moloco’s machine learning capabilities and emerging product initiatives into clear business value propositions, shaping how products are positioned and sold.
• Lead product demos and strategic solution discussions with confidence and credibility.
• Maintain strong data fluency and a ‘hands-on-keyboard’ mindset when needed, independently pulling and analyzing data to drive insights and recommendations.
• Partner with Product, Data Science, and Engineering as a market-facing thought partner, influencing roadmap prioritization based on material revenue opportunity and customer signal.
• Play a critical role in early-stage or ambiguous initiatives, helping define use cases, success metrics, and paths to scalable product-market fit.
• Set and model commercial excellence standards for strategic selling, executive engagement, and value-based negotiation.
• Serve as a coach and mentor to Growth Strategists and GMs, actively developing capabilities in deal strategy, executive presence, and opportunity qualification.
• Provide clear, concise written and verbal updates to internal stakeholders, ensuring alignment and momentum.
• Proactively codify and share best practices, playbooks, and market insights that raise the bar for how Moloco sells and grows.
• Influence cross-functional teams through clarity of direction, strong judgment, and outcome ownership, even without direct authority.

Culture, Ownership & Ways of Working

• Act as a culture carrier and standard setter, reinforcing accountability, rigor, and long-term thinking across teams.
• Demonstrate a plays-to-win mindset by taking ownership of ambiguous, high-stakes problems and driving durable solutions.
• Thrive in low-structure environments by creating clarity for others, not just navigating ambiguity personally.
• Bring a protagonist mindset, taking ownership and doing whatever it takes to solve problems, regardless of title or function.
• Embody a growth mindset: continually learning, seeking feedback, and contributing constructively to make the team — and Moloco — better.

Skills, experiences, and mindset that will help you succeed

• 8+ years of experience in growth, sales, account management, or commercial leadership roles within ad tech, mobile advertising, or performance marketing, with a track record of owning large-scale revenue outcomes.
• Proven track record of driving strategic revenue growth with enterprise or strategic customers, including complex deal negotiation.
• Proven ability to operate as a peer-level advisor to senior executives, influencing long-term strategy and investment decisions.
• Strong understanding of the mobile advertising ecosystem, attribution/MMPs, and programmatic performance marketing.
• High level of fluency in growth and performance metrics, with the ability to translate data into executive-level narratives and business impact.
• Strong product and technical fluency, paired with sound commercial judgment and prioritization skills.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, particularly in data-driven and executive contexts.
• Experience working cross-functionally in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
• High ownership mentality, strong sense of urgency, and comfort operating autonomously.
• Collaborative, low-ego approach with a passion for building, mentoring, and winning as a team.
