The Client Partner for Curation will be responsible for managing and growing relationships with a specific subset of key partners out of the nearly 100 clients who use the OpenXSelect curation platform. This individual contributor's strategic leadership role is responsible for deepening partnerships, accelerating revenue growth, and building scalable, long-term workflows with key stakeholders across the OpenX curation portfolio. This individual will engage closely with cross-functional teams across both partner organizations and internal stakeholders to inform go-to-market strategy and ensure the company maximizes the strategic and commercial value of each partnership.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a deep understanding of the programmatic ecosystem, have extensive knowledge of the emerging curation landscape from both a product and business pov, and have the ability to engage with senior level partners and buyers. This position will also require the ability to work closely with internal and external stakeholders to meet revenue objectives.

Establish and manage scalable workflows that ensure operational efficiency and consistency across complex partner engagements.

Guide internal stakeholders, including agency account executives and cross-functional teams, to support execution against partnership deliverables and revenue targets.
Stay ahead of programmatic industry trends, leveraging market knowledge to adapt strategies and ensure partner success in a dynamic ecosystem.

Experience: 7+ years of experience in channel sales, with a significant portion of that time spent managing large strategic accounts. At least 5 years experience in programmatic advertising required and experience with curation strongly preferred.
