Account Manager (Maternity Cover) in London

Who we are

Venatus is the gaming advertising specialist. We connect brands with audiences In the Zone and grow the value of those audiences for the publishers that built them. We operate at the intersection of content, mindset, and commercial impact, turning gaming attention into measurable outcomes for brands and sustainable revenue for publishers. Recognizable brands like EA, Miniclip, Scopely, and Rovio come to us for campaigns that work. Around 900 run through us directly each year, built by our in-house creative team and sold across both direct and programmatic channels. Many of our publisher partners have been with us for more than a decade.

This is an exciting moment for Venatus. Our acquisition by MediaScale Capital Limited will broaden what we can offer publishers and advertisers alike, adding data and identity tools, technology and infrastructure to the audience expertise we are built on. London is our HQ, with regional teams in Amsterdam, Chicago, LA, New York, Sydney, Seoul, and Manila.

You’ll look after revenue and relationships with direct clients and agencies, combining your love for data and insights with your talent for building strong, long-lasting partnerships. We’re looking for someone proactive, organised, and genuinely passionate about creating meaningful connections between publishers and audiences.

• Work closely with internal teams to make sure we deliver what we promise.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in digital media sales or account management, ideally with some agency and brand relationships already in place.
• A passion for gaming and entertainment, and an understanding of what makes these audiences tick.
• Strong communication and presentation skills - you know how to put together a clear, compelling pitch.
• A self-starter mindset - you’re proactive, resilient, and thrive on hitting (and exceeding) targets.
• Confidence with data and insights to back up your recommendations and deliver results.
• The ability to juggle multiple opportunities and build strong client relationships quickly.
• A collaborative approach – you care about not just what you achieve but how you achieve it.
