MediaGo is seeking a Business Development & Partnerships Specialist to drive revenue growth by securing and expanding partnerships with SSPs, publishers, OEMs, and app developers. This is a high-impact, revenue-focused role where you’ll own the full partnership lifecycle—from prospecting to closing—while building MediaGo’s presence in the US programmatic ecosystem.
We’re looking for a motivated, sales-oriented dealmaker with a proactive, hunter mentality. The ideal candidate is eager to learn and grow, thrives on building strong publisher and partner relationships, and has a proven ability (or potential) to deliver results. If you’re ready to embrace challenges, negotiate meaningful deals, and scale partnerships that drive programmatic revenue, we want you on our team.

- Negotiate and structure direct integrations, revenue-sharing deals, preferred agreements, and private marketplace (PMP) setups.
Commercial Negotiations
- Lead deal discussions on rate cards, floor prices, revenue splits, and long-term contract terms with SSPs and publishers.
- Collaborate with finance and legal to finalize agreements that maximize mutual value.
Revenue Growth & Optimization
- Advise publishers on yield optimization, monetization strategy, and inventory best practices to drive sustainable revenue growth.
- Align with demand teams to match high-value buyers with premium supply sources.
Pipeline Management & Forecasting
- Maintain a structured pipeline of publisher and partner prospects.
- Accurately forecast integrations, supply growth, and revenue contributions.
Market Intelligence
- Monitor industry trends, competitor activity, and emerging opportunities (CTV, in-app, identity solutions).
- Provide insights that shape MediaGo’s supply strategy and positioning in the market.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with product, operations, finance, sales, and account management teams to design partnership terms and ensure publisher success.
Reporting & Insights
- Track and analyze partner performance metrics.
- Prepare regular reports and share actionable insights with internal stakeholders.
Qualifications
- 1–3 years of experience in programmatic advertising, ad tech, or publisher/media partnerships (DSP/SSP exposure preferred).
- Proven track record in identifying and onboarding publishers or SSP/media partners, managing relationships, and driving revenue growth.
- Strong understanding of programmatic technologies (ad servers, SSPs, header bidding) or ability to learn quickly.
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to monitor performance metrics and recommend optimizations.
- Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or related field preferred.
- Ability to work on-site 5 days a week.
Culture Fit
- Integrity – Act ethically and transparently, even when no one is watching.
- Customer Focus – Prioritize understanding and exceeding partner needs to build strong, lasting relationships.
- Business Expertise – Continuously deepen your knowledge of programmatic advertising to deliver high-quality, impactful solutions.
- Results Driven – Consistently pursue meaningful outcomes, exceed goals, and push the business forward.
