The role will report directly to the VP, Commercial Operations.

We want someone who is deeply technical, highly strategic and business-oriented, and strives to raise the bar across the entire business through thoughtful leadership, critical thinking, and heavy collaboration. You will be a player-coach, with a deep technical understanding of the programmatic SSP landscape with a strong expertise in publisher & DSP OpenRTB integrations across all programmatic channels. You will work closely with almost all OpenX teams, including sales, account management, product, engineering, and legal, as well as directly with our partners.
