About the Role

As our Head of Media Monetization for EU, you’ll be the driving force behind Livewire's revenue growth in the digital realm. Your fluency in the tech that powers the gaming media ecosystem, from the publisher's toolkit to the ins-and-outs of demand-side platforms (DSPs), data management platforms (DMPs), and tagging technologies. You’ll be no stranger to the likes of YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Snapchat. This role isn’t just about tech—it’s about making strategic moves. You’ll have the opportunity to seamlessly collaborate with the Livewire account team and take charge as the go-to contact for our gaming partners, publishers, DSPs, SSPs, and other demand sources in your region. With your solid programmatic background, gained from stints at publishers, agencies, and ad tech vendors, means you’ll be able to work fluently with fellow pros using all the industry acronyms, but you’ll also be able to explain it all in business terms for everyone else. You’ll be at the forefront of the success of the media monetization vertical, driving growth and pushing Livewire's global expansions.
