Job description

VP / Director, Business Development, CTV Content Intelligence

Pixalate · New York, NY / Washington DC (Hybrid) · Full-Time

Reports to CEO · Ad Tech / CTV Measurement · Individual contributor with leadership path

We are seeking a VP or Director of Business Development, CTV Content Intelligence to lead the commercial expansion of Pixalate’s CTV content measurement and analytics product suite. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting directly to the CEO.

You will be responsible for scaling go-to-market partnerships, driving strategic integrations with highly selective and technically sophisticated partners, and developing the commercial model — working closely with product, engineering, marketing, and sales.

This is a builder role. The right candidate has launched a new product or product category before and is energized by developing a market from scratch. This is not a quota‑carrying sales role; however, you will own commercial outcomes and revenue accountability at the highest level.

Responsibilities

• Scale go-to-market partnerships and drive strategic integrations with highly selective, technically sophisticated partners across the programmatic CTV supply chain — with a focus on SSPs as the primary near‑term priority, followed by DSPs and agency buyers
• Identify, evaluate, and close high‑value SSP integration partnerships, establishing Pixalate as a key content intelligence layer across programmatic CTV supply paths
• Develop and grow a portfolio of enterprise partnerships with DSPs and agency trading desks, structuring agreements that include access terms, technical integration commitments, and clear commercial pathways
• Develop the commercial model for CTV Content Intelligence from the ground up — pricing architecture, packaging tiers, segment licensing economics, API access model, and SSP revenue share structures
• Define and document the value proposition for each target buyer segment — SSPs, DSPs, agency trading desks, independent agencies, brands, and publishers — in collaboration with product and marketing
• Work closely with product and engineering to translate partner and market feedback into product requirements and ensure integrations are technically feasible within the roadmap
• Build the GTM playbook for the broader sales organization, including ideal customer profile, buyer personas, objection handling, competitive positioning, and deal structure
• Represent Pixalate at industry forums and key CTV industry events to establish CTV Content Intelligence as a market‑standard product
• Report directly to the CEO on partnership pipeline, integration progress, commercial model evolution, and GTM performance

Requirements

• 8–15 years of experience in business development or commercial leadership within ad tech, CTV/streaming measurement, or advanced TV
• Deep knowledge of the programmatic CTV ecosystem — supply chain dynamics, SSP and DSP relationships, audience measurement, and content transparency
• Demonstrated experience closing or managing SSP or DSP‑level data partnerships, including segment licensing, supply path integrations, or data syndication agreements
• Prior experience at a data, measurement, or programmatic infrastructure company — SSP, DSP, measurement, identity, verification, or similar
• Proven track record of taking a new product or product category to market from an early stage — not only managing existing partnership books
• Existing relationships at the VP or C‑level across SSPs, DSPs, and major agency holding company trading desks
• Comfortable in technical product conversations with engineering and product leadership as well as external technology counterparts at SSPs and DSPs
• Highly self‑directed; able to operate effectively with limited infrastructure and a high degree of ambiguity

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with linear TV measurement, audience ratings, or show‑level content data — including familiarity with how program‑level data is structured, licensed, and used in advertising transactions
• Understanding of how show‑level and program‑level transparency impacts programmatic CTV buying decisions, campaign planning, and brand safety
• Experience in the FAST channel ecosystem — familiarity with free ad‑supported streaming platforms, their inventory, and their programmatic supply chains
• Familiarity with EPG data, content metadata standards, or CTV content measurement products
• Prior experience at or with a leading CTV, linear TV, or cross‑platform measurement company
• Startup or early‑stage company experience; comfortable with lean teams and evolving product roadmaps

Benefits

• Health & Wellbeing. We cover 100% of employee medical, dental, and vision premiums, plus 50% for your dependents. We also provide flexible parental and maternity leave, alongside an unlimited PTO policy.
• Financial Perks. Access to a 401(k) plan, a referral bonus program for new hires, and monthly stipends for your internet expenses.
• Work Style & Environment. A remote‑first culture (based in DC or NY metros) with a casual, flexible atmosphere. Includes annual team gatherings and opportunities for both domestic and international travel.
• Career Growth. A transparent trajectory toward finance/FP&A leadership as our global team continues to expand.
