Director Advertising Solutions - Sydney

Director, Advertising Solutions (ANZ)

PubMatic is an AI-driven technology business within digital advertising, building the programmatic infrastructure of the future. By embedding machine learning and automation across our platform, we’re reshaping how media is bought and sold — delivering smarter monetisation, greater transparency and measurable outcomes at scale.

For a senior commercial leader, this is an opportunity to represent technology that is actively redefining the market. You’ll join a business with global scale, strong engineering foundations and the autonomy in ANZ to influence strategy, partnerships and growth — not just deliver against a number, but help shape what programmatic looks like next.

A senior, highly visible sales leadership role owning PubMatic's agency and holding company relationships across ANZ. This role combines strategic account ownership, regional go-to-market input, and direct leadership of a four-person team. It requires deep programmatic expertise and the credibility to operate independently at C-suite level.

What you'll do

• Own and grow PubMatic’s ANZ revenue across agency holding groups, trading desks, brand-direct advertisers and DSP partners, with full pipeline and forecast accountability
• Shape and co-develop ANZ marketplace and agency sales strategy in partnership with the Regional Director
• Build, originate and maintain senior and C-level relationships across agency holding companies and key partners
• Lead complex, long-cycle, multi-stakeholder deals across global and cross-functional teams including Product, R&D, Marketing and Communications
• Lead, coach and develop a team of four, with accountability for performance, progression and succession planning
• Represent PubMatic externally at industry events, panels and executive forums
• Foster a culture of collaboration, transparency and accountability across the broader ANZ business

What you'll bring

• 8–10+ years’ experience in digital media or programmatic sales, with a consistent track record of delivering against significant revenue targets
• Prior people leadership experience, with a focus on coaching and performance development
• Established senior relationships across ANZ agency holding groups and trading desks
• Demonstrated experience leading complex, enterprise-level deals involving global and cross-functional stakeholders
• Strong understanding of the full programmatic supply chain, including SSP dynamics, ad serving, SPO and yield strategy
• Confidence operating at C-level, including in high-stakes commercial negotiations
• Experience working within a matrixed, global organisation
