**About ConnectAd**

ConnectAd is a European, independent Supply-Side Platform built for efficiency, transparency, and long-term value creation. As a boutique challenger in the programmatic ecosystem, we focus on delivering high-quality supply and maximising revenue for our publisher partners — without unnecessary complexity or excessive take rates. We work closely with publishers, agencies, advertisers, and technology partners to build efficient programmatic marketplaces that prioritise performance, transparency, and sustainable growth. 

**About the role**

We are looking for an experienced Senior DSP Manager to lead ConnectAd's relationships with Demand-Side Platforms — a long-term but strategically important area for the company. 

This is a senior partnerships and business development role, focused on building and managing deep relationships with DSPs, driving technical integrations, and positioning ConnectAd as a preferred supply partner. While the impact of this role builds over time, it is central to ConnectAd's strategic growth and platform positioning. 

**Responsibilities**

-   Build and own senior relationships with key Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) and their commercial and technical stakeholders. 

-   Drive and manage DSP integrations, working closely with product and engineering teams to ensure smooth technical implementation. 

-   Develop and execute a long-term DSP partnership strategy aligned with ConnectAd's strategic priorities. 

-   Identify new DSP partnership opportunities and evaluate their strategic and commercial fit. 

-   Act as the primary point of contact and relationship owner for ConnectAd's DSP partners. 

-   Represent ConnectAd at industry events and senior DSP partner meetings. 

-   Collaborate with product, operations, and leadership teams to align DSP partnerships with platform capabilities and roadmap. 

-   Monitor DSP market trends and competitive dynamics to inform ConnectAd's partnership strategy. 

-   Provide partner feedback to product and leadership teams to shape ConnectAd's platform development. 

**Success metrics**

-   Revenue and volume growth driven through DSP partnerships. 

-   Number and quality of DSP partnerships established and maintained. 

-   Progress and success of DSP technical integrations. 

-   Strategic relationship depth with key DSP stakeholders. 

-   Long-term partnership pipeline development.

## Requirements

-   Substantial, proven experience in DSP partnerships, programmatic advertising, adtech business development, or related technical/commercial roles. 

-   Strong existing network across Demand-Side Platforms and the broader programmatic ecosystem. 

-   Proven track record of building and managing long-term, strategically important partnerships. 

-   Strong understanding of RTB, programmatic integrations, header bidding, and DSP/SSP technology. 

-   Strong relationship-management and negotiation skills, with the ability to engage both technical and commercial senior stakeholders. 

-   Entrepreneurial mindset with high ownership and patience for long-term strategic initiatives, comfortable in a fast-moving, independent SSP environment. 

-   Business-fluent English (C1 or above).

## Benefits

-   A strategic, high-impact role within a growing independent SSP. 

-   A remote working model. 

-   A collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where you help shape ConnectAd's long-term DSP partnership strategy.
