StackAdapt is a self-serve advertising platform that specializes in multi-channel solutions including native, display, video, connected TV, audio, in-game, and digital out-of-home ads. We empower hundreds of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance everyday. StackAdapt was founded with a vision to be more than an advertising platform, it’s a hub of innovation, imagination and creativity.

The Strategic Partnerships & Alliances team is focused on building joint solutions with platforms, publishers, service providers, and value-added resellers. As part of the Revenue organization, we help our customers win by forging alliances and developing product offerings that reduce the level of effort required to deliver strong advertising outcomes. We do so by engaging our clients’ partners, working with them to build joint solutions, and partnering with them to provide market-leading infrastructure, services, education and enablement that accelerate adoption of their business and ours.

We’re hiring a Business Development Lead to help build and scale our Technology Partnerships strategy. Technology Partnerships at StackAdapt is an emerging function, and will be focused primarily on the development of “one-to-many” commercial engagements with market, vertical, or channel specific publishers or platforms, looking to develop, scale, and service advertising businesses, as an extension of their core business.

New Strategic Partnership Onboarding & Adoption- Ensure that any net new Technology Partnerships bring incremental demand including developing joint marketing strategies, joint commercialization & pricing, shared reporting & pipeline measurement, and internal/external evangelization of the Channel Partnerships he/she owns.
Serve as the “SME” (Subject Matter Expert) to coordinate and collaborate with the core/enterprise Sales & Services team to ensure that rules are enforced, and Strategic Partners do not erode, but complement, existing revenue streams of StackAdapt
