Partner with third-party brands and vendors to craft innovative integrations for advertisers.

Work closely with Ad Ops to ensure seamless campaign execution and deliver results that drive renewal and upsell opportunities.

Serve as an advocate for AMP Media’s go-to-market products—especially OTT / CTV, gamification, and original lifestyle tentpoles.

Cultivate strong relationships with senior-level decision makers at both clients and agencies.

Identify and qualify new prospects, secure meetings, and develop tailored partnership strategies.
