About JustWatch

We are the JustWatch Group. We love movies and TV shows and connect audiences with their favorite content across three divisions: JustWatch The Streaming Guide, JustWatch Media and our own streaming service, JustWatch TV.

JustWatch is the world’s largest global streaming guide, with 50 million monthly active users, helping millions of people discover what to watch and where to watch movies, TV shows and sports across their favourite theatrical exhibitors and streaming services. With JustWatch TV (JWTV), we're building our own ad-supported streaming offering, creating new opportunities for brands to connect with highly engaged streaming audiences. We're looking for ambitious commercial talent to help us build this business.

The Role

We are looking for a Head of Programmatic Advertising Sales (US) to build and lead the programmatic advertising sales business for JustWatch TV in the US.

You'll own our programmatic sales strategy while personally winning advertisers, developing relationships with buying teams and DSP partners, and securing significant campaign investment. Unlike our Agency Partnerships team, which focuses on broader agency investment agreements, your priority will be converting advertising demand into programmatic revenue and scaling repeat business.

This is a hands-on commercial leadership role for someone who can establish JWTV as a competitive CTV advertising platform for brands outside the entertainment industry and build a scalable programmatic sales business.

What You Will Do

  • Define and execute JWTV's programmatic sales strategy, personally winning major advertisers and driving revenue across CTV inventory.

  • Build strategic relationships with agency programmatic buying teams, trading desks, DSPs and brand advertisers to secure significant advertising spend.

  • Lead negotiations for major programmatic guaranteed, private marketplace and other programmatic trading agreements, with a focus on non-entertainment brands.

  • Own programmatic sales revenue goals, forecasting and commercial performance, while developing the sales function as the business grows.

What We're Looking For

  • Extensive experience in programmatic advertising sales, digital video or CTV, with a strong track record of delivering significant revenue growth.

  • An established network of senior relationships across agency programmatic buying teams, DSPs and major brand advertisers.

  • Deep expertise in CTV monetisation, programmatic guaranteed, private marketplaces and the wider programmatic advertising ecosystem.

  • Strong commercial leadership, negotiation skills and an entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to build a business while remaining directly involved in winning major deals.

Why Join JustWatch?

    You'll have the opportunity to help build a new arm of our advertising business within an established global streaming technology company. You'll work with an entrepreneurial, international team, take real ownership of commercial growth and help shape how brands advertise on JustWatch TV.

Skills Required

  • Extensive experience in programmatic advertising sales, digital video, or connected TV (CTV).
  • Strong track record of delivering significant revenue growth.
  • Established senior relationships with agency programmatic buying teams, DSPs, and major brand advertisers.
  • Deep expertise in CTV monetization, programmatic guaranteed, private marketplaces, and the broader programmatic advertising ecosystem.
  • Strong commercial leadership and negotiation skills.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to build a business while winning major deals directly.
