Sales Director, CTV ( Ad-Tech Experience Required)

Location: New York, NY | Employment Type: Full-Time | Experience: 3 to 5 Years

Pixalate is the global leader in fraud detection and privacy compliance for digital advertising, safeguarding billions in ad spend for Fortune 500 brands and major ad platforms. As fraudsters increasingly leverage AI to mount sophisticated attacks, we are building the next generation of AI-powered detection systems to stay ahead of the threat.

Our work has surfaced high-profile criminal and illegal surveillance cases covered by major outlets including the Washington Post, NBC News, ProPublica, Gizmodo, and Adweek. Most recently, we were recognized by UNICEF as a Key Innovator for protecting children's online privacy.

Our global team of data scientists, engineers, economists, lawyers, and researchers operates across offices in McLean, VA, Washington D.C., London, and Singapore.

We are looking for a driven and intellectually curious Sales Director, CTV to join our growing team and help expand Pixalate's presence within the connected TV and streaming ecosystem. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with a clear path to growth — ideal for someone with a strong foundation in CTV/OTT or ad tech sales who is ready to take ownership of a CTV-focused book of business and make their mark.

You will work closely with sales leadership, cross-functional teams, and executive stakeholders to close meaningful deals and build lasting partnerships with streaming platforms, CTV publishers, and other key players in the connected TV advertising ecosystem.

• Own the full sales cycle within CTV — from prospecting and outreach through negotiation and close — consistently meeting or exceeding quarterly new business targets.
• Develop deep expertise in the CTV/streaming ad tech landscape, industry compliance, fraud protection, and your clients' specific business challenges.
• Act as a trusted advisor to CTV/streaming prospects and clients, articulating Pixalate's value proposition with clarity and conviction.
• Sell solutions, not features — understand client pain points and structure deals that create genuine, mutual value.
• Identify and pursue strategic partnership opportunities within the CTV ecosystem, including complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
• Contribute to go-to-market strategy by sharing actionable CTV market intelligence and field insights with leadership.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Customer Success, Data Science, Ad Operations, Engineering, Legal, and Marketing teams to deliver an exceptional client experience.

• 5+ years of quota-carrying sales experience within CTV/OTT specifically — direct experience selling into or partnering with streaming platforms, connected TV publishers, or CTV-focused DSPs/SSPs.
• Strong working knowledge of the CTV/streaming ad tech ecosystem — you understand how the supply chain works, who the key players are, and where the pain points lie.
• Experience selling to technical and product stakeholders (CTOs, Product Managers, Ad Ops leads, Data Science teams) and comfort navigating complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
• Familiarity with ad fraud, brand safety, and privacy compliance (COPPA, GDPR) as they apply to CTV and streaming environments is a significant advantage.
• Demonstrated track record of hitting or exceeding targets, including experience closing 5–7 figure CTV deals.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — you take initiative, operate with a high degree of ownership, and can build and grow a CTV-focused book of business.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trust with both external clients and internal stakeholders.
• Self-motivated and goal-oriented, with a desire to be directly in control of your career trajectory and earning potential.

We believe in small, high-output teams where results speak louder than titles. We move fast, think analytically, and value bold ideas. Collaboration is core to how we work — across functions and time zones. If you thrive in an environment that rewards initiative and curiosity, you'll fit right in.
