Job Description: • Lead detailed technical conversations during client meetings, pitches, and product demonstrations, translating product capabilities (e.g., Yield Manager, Prebid solutions) into clear, measurable business value. • Capable of running technical workshops and discovery sessions independently, without requiring sales support. • Own the full RFI/RFP process, including building and maintaining a structured response framework from the ground up to ensure accuracy, consistency, and timely submission. • Conduct in-depth pre-sales vetting to assess client needs, define integration requirements, scope the project's complexity, and prevent the pursuit of non-viable proposals. • Ensure a smooth technical handover of new clients to Customer Success and TAM teams, documenting all pre-sales commitments, custom requirements, and technical prerequisites. • Maintain deep, current knowledge of Assertive Yield's full product suite and the broader publisher monetization ecosystem, including header bidding, ad servers, SSPs, identity solutions, and industry standards. • Act as an internal consultant to ensure onboarding initiatives are executed effectively across cross-functional teams. • Surface best practices to improve customer performance and retention. Maintain a structured pre-sales feedback loop with Product and Engineering to directly influence AY's roadmap based on patterns identified during the sales cycle. Requirements: • 8+ years in a pre-sales, Solutions Engineering, or Technical Account Management role within ad tech or publisher monetization. • Deep practical knowledge of the digital advertising ecosystem: header bidding (Prebid.js, including server-side/S2S configurations and wrapper management), Google Ad Manager, and SSP integrations. • Familiarity with identity solutions (UID2, RampID, Topics API) and their measurable revenue impact on publisher yield. • Understanding of CMP and consent frameworks (TCF 2.x, CCPA) and their downstream effects on auction dynamics and fill rates. • Prior direct experience working at or closely with a publisher, SSP, or yield management platform, with working knowledge of traffic shaping, bid density optimization, and auction dynamics concepts central to Assertive Yield's core product. • Basic scripting ability in Python or JavaScript is sufficient to validate integrations, interrogate data, or build lightweight proof-of-concept demos. • Familiarity with ad-quality and brand-safety tooling (e.g., Protected Media, Confiant). • Experience with competitive landscape analysis across yield optimization platforms. • Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical audiences (Ad Ops) and non-technical stakeholders (C-suite). • Strong organizational skills, managing multiple RFI/RFP processes concurrently, with a demonstrable track record of building response frameworks, not just contributing to existing ones. Benefits: • Fully remote, full-time, and flexible working hours • Innovative and dynamic environment with real opportunities to grow • A fun, smart, and diverse team • Competitive compensation package Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
