Country Manager, DACH

Vistar Media is the home of out-of-home (OOH). As a global ad tech company and the world's largest digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising marketplace, we offer technology designed to make buying and selling OOH media easier. Our goal is simple: to help the world's marketers leverage OOH's unique ability to motivate and delight. 

From strategic partnerships with major media owner networks to executing impactful campaigns with renowned global brands such as Nestlé, Porsche, Target, and Levi's, our team is filled with passionate, innovative, and collaborative problem solvers, engaging and entertaining consumers like you in the real world. Find your home in out-of-home - find your people at Vistar.

As of January 2025, Vistar Media was acquired by T-Mobile and is now part of T-Mobile Advertising Solutions. By combining our DOOH expertise with T-Mobile’s unique customer insights and expansive omnichannel capabilities, we’re creating new opportunities to innovate at scale and make a meaningful impact on the future of out-of-home media.

This is one of the most exciting leadership opportunities in the prDOOH space.

We're looking for an exceptional commercial leader to take full ownership of Vistar Media's DACH business, leading our marketplace across both the demand and supply side. You'll inherit a talented team and have complete responsibility for the market's commercial strategy, revenue performance and long-term growth.

The timing couldn't be better. Following Vistar's acquisition by T-Mobile Advertising, you'll be at the forefront of one of the industry's most compelling growth stories, leading our strategic partnership with the group to bring an exclusive, market-leading proposition to advertisers, agencies and media owners across the region. This is a unique opportunity to shape the next stage of our DACH business.

You'll be responsible for strengthening relationships with the region's largest agency groups, brands and media owners while accelerating adoption of our DSP and SSP solutions. The foundations are firmly in place, and the opportunity now is to scale the business significantly and establish Vistar as the market leader in DACH.

We're looking for someone who combines strategic vision with operational excellence—an inspiring leader who can build high-performing teams, develop executive-level relationships, and consistently deliver commercial results. If you're excited by the opportunity to shape a high-growth business with the backing of T-Mobile and influence the future of digital out-of-home in one of Europe's most important advertising markets, we'd love to talk.
