Senior Sales Director

Sphere Digital Recruitment, San Francisco, CA, United States


US Senior Sales Director Location:

Remote, North America

Salary: $150-185K, double OTE

About the Company Our client is a machine-learning-driven demand-side platform (DSP) helping mobile apps scale smarter through advanced user acquisition, retargeting, and predictive optimisation. Their models process millions of transactions per second, powering real-time decisioning across gaming, fintech, e-commerce, and high-growth app verticals.

Operating globally with teams across Asia-Pacific, EMEA, and beyond, the business moves with the agility of a high-growth startup - fast, focused, and deeply technical. They are now expanding their North American footprint and need a senior sales leader to own and build the market.

This is not a manage-inbound-leads role. You will build relationships from the ground up and help position the company as a go-to performance partner for serious advertisers in North America.

Responsibilities

Own the full revenue cycle - from strategic prospecting through negotiation, closing, and long-term account growth

Build deep relationships with performance marketers, growth leaders, and app executives across North America

Identify and unlock new business opportunities across gaming, fintech, e-commerce, and adjacent verticals

Act as a strategic partner, translating complex ML capabilities into tangible business outcomes for clients

Represent the company at industry events and conferences, and at high-level client meetings

Lead and organise exclusive partner dinners, invite-only events, and curated gatherings to generate high‑quality pipeline and strengthen the company's presence in the US ecosystem

Work directly with leadership, product, and operations teams to help shape North American market strategy

What They're Looking For Essential:

Deep ad‑tech expertise - you have sold into performance marketing teams and understand how DSPs, user acquisition, and programmatic buying actually work

Analytical enough to sell a complex, ML‑driven product rather than a standard media package

An established network within the North American app ecosystem and a proven ability to open doors

Proactive and self‑directed, comfortable operating in a fast‑moving environment without heavy structure

A strategic thinker who executes with relentless focus on results

Desirable:

Experience selling performance DSP, ML‑driven products, or retargeting solutions

Background working with Tier‑1 advertisers or fast‑scaling mobile apps

Experience hosting events, building communities, or creating high‑touch partner experiences
