JustWatch is the world’s largest global streaming guide, with 50 million monthly active users, helping millions of people discover what to watch and where to watch movies, TV shows and sports across their favourite theatrical exhibitors and streaming services.

What You Will Do
Define and execute JWTV's programmatic sales strategy, personally winning major advertisers and driving revenue across CTV inventory.
Build strategic relationships with agency programmatic buying teams, trading desks, DSPs and brand advertisers to secure significant advertising spend.
Lead negotiations for major programmatic guaranteed, private marketplace and other programmatic trading agreements, with a focus on non-entertainment brands.
Own programmatic sales revenue goals, forecasting and commercial performance, while developing the sales function as the business grows.
What We're Looking For
Extensive experience in programmatic advertising sales, digital video or CTV, with a strong track record of delivering significant revenue growth.
An established network of senior relationships across agency programmatic buying teams, DSPs and major brand advertisers.
Deep expertise in CTV monetisation, programmatic guaranteed, private marketplaces and the wider programmatic advertising ecosystem.
