Programmatic Sales Manager

About the Role:

After driving growth for 400+ retailers and eCommerce companies, Wunderkind has successfully pioneered an ad experience that allows Publishers to give their visitors a better ad experience -- one that puts content first and ads second. 

Rather than placing an ad in front of someone while they're actively trying to read content, our technology patiently waits until a visitor has stopped reading before rendering our ad on the page. And that patience pays off -- it turns out that when an ad experience respects the user's reason for visiting a page, the user respects the ad experience in return. This unique, brand safe approach to ad experience gives an advertiser's message more attention and greater engagement.

Wunderkind is looking for a top-performing Programmatic Sales Manager to work with our Senior Director on a specified list of agency, trading desk, brand, and DSP accounts across the Midwest region. We are looking for someone with a proven track record establishing and growing programmatic partnerships with Fortune 500 brands and their agencies.

This is a remote position focused on Midwest-based advertisers and agencies that are NOT based in the Chicago area (Minnesota, Ohio, Missouri, etc).
