About the Company

The company is a leading digital innovation group redefining what’s possible in creative advertising technology. Its newest division, launching in early 2026, is built to reinvent display and programmatic advertising by creating interactive, gamified, and never-before-seen ad formats for the open web.

The Role

The company is seeking an Account Manager – Display & Programmatic , based in Johannesburg, to lead client relationships and play a central role in shaping the division’s growth from day one.

This person will manage agency and brand partnerships, build creative and commercial proposals, and drive adoption of new ad formats across the programmatic landscape.

This is not a maintenance role; it is an opportunity to help build something new.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and grow key relationships with agencies, trading desks, and brands.
• Translate client objectives into high-impact campaign ideas using innovative formats.
• Oversee campaign delivery, ensuring flawless execution and measurable outcomes.
• Educate clients on the company’s offering and the strategic advantage of interactive display.
• Collaborate with Product, Creative, and Operations teams to bring ideas to market.
• Negotiate commercial terms, maintain sustainable margins, and ensure profitability.
• Analyse campaign performance data and deliver actionable insights for future improvement.
• Contribute to defining positioning and go-to-market strategies for 2026 and beyond.
