• Evangelize Nexxen’s platform at field events, trade shows, training seminars, and private executive sessions.
• Act as a trusted advisor to clients by providing insights and best practices on how Nexxen’s technology can maximize campaign effectiveness and improve ROI by measurable margins.
• Guide product integrations during the sales process, removing blockers and ensuring technical readiness.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Product, Marketing and Support to ensure client needs influence roadmap priorities and GTM strategy.
• Collect and document customer requirements, developing use cases that inform product development and roadmap investment.
• Conduct market research and contribute to go‑to‑market narratives that differentiate Nexxen from competitors.
• Travel up to 25% nationally to support regional sales teams and strategic clients.

Desired Characteristics / Skills / Experience

• 6+ years in a pre‑sales engineering, technical consulting or solution engineering role within adTech, SaaS or marTech.
• 4+ years client‑facing experience, with a proven record of engaging executive stakeholders and leading enterprise‑level solution design.
• Deep understanding of DSPs, DMPs, ad serving and programmatic advertising ecosystems, including digital media buying, identity, measurement and data integrations.
• Demonstrated ability to influence 7‑ and 8‑figure pipeline opportunities.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to simplify complexity, author persuasive proposals and deliver compelling C‑level presentations.
• Proven consultative abilities with a customer‑first, solution‑oriented mindset.
• Strong technical acumen, including data storytelling, SQL proficiency, APIs, SDKs and data integration processes.
• Experience in digital advertising campaign setup, management, optimisation and reporting, with an eye toward measurable impact (lift, incremental reach, cost efficiency).
• BS/BA in Computer Science, Economics, Business Administration, Marketing or another analytical/quantitative discipline preferred.
