We have an amazing story with a unique perspective on culture formed by a global footprint of data and AI-driven insights.
The Agency development team focuses on establishing SambaTV & Semasio as an indispensable partner to the largest agency holding companies and biggest brands by developing strategic, long-term partnerships with our client partners. We also collaborate as a cross-functional partner with members from sales, product, and marketing on all aspects of go-to-market, sales strategy, and account planning.
We're looking for an ambitious and experienced Agency Development Director EMEA based in Paris, France to join the team. This is an exceptional foundational opportunity to  our presence in the French and other southern EU markets from the ground up, shaping the strategic direction and establishing Samba as a market leader in one of Europe's most dynamic advertising landscapes.

  • Host business reviews (QBRs) with external and internal leadership, provide education and enablement, and own agency contact mapping and communication across holding companies and agencies.
  • Represent the company at industry events as a brand ambassador, maintaining a deep understanding of market trends, competitors, evolving technologies, and client needs in the competitive landscape.
  • Develop self-service growth plans for programmatic audience solution customers and establish downstream opportunities across platform partners where applicable.
  • Collaborate closely with Samba sales and functional leadership to deliver on client needs, establish revenue targets, and actively participate in sales process development and enablement.
WHO YOU ARE
  • 6 + years of commercial Ad-tech and data sales experience at data platforms, Ad networks, DSP, DMP, SSP, with DAAS/SAAS experience, plus demonstrated strong contact network across European markets.
  • Proven track record of consistently exceeding revenue goals, building and managing high-value advertising territories with emphasis on agency holding company partnerships.
  • Strong negotiation and consultative selling skills with ability to structure and close complex, enterprise-level deals that drive equitable partnerships.
  • Deep understanding of the digital, ad tech and data ecosystem, including programmatic media, data partnerships, and audience onboarding/targeting in complex or ambiguous situations.
  • Excellent presentation and reporting skills using Excel, PowerPoint, and Salesforce; ability to provide accurate forecasting and pipeline insights.
