Role summary

Wunderkind is seeking a Senior Manager, Programmatic Sales in San Francisco to drive demand for its 'behaviorally triggered' ad inventory. The role involves developing sales strategies, building relationships with agencies and brands, and maximizing revenue through effective account management. The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of experience in online programmatic advertising sales, a strong network in the buy-side community, and a proven track record of revenue growth.

About Wunderkind:

Wunderkind ads are 'behaviorally triggered', meaning that ads are served on a premium list of publishers only when a user is done consuming content. Our proprietary tag is integrated directly on the publisher page to track on-site user behavior - making 'net new' ad placements. How we serve the ad is why we are different from our competitors in-market.

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.
