Business Development Manager, CTV, Global Partnerships

Who Are We?
RZR is an AI-native advertising platform built for the next era of performance marketing. We operate at the intersection of machine learning, programmatic media, and full-funnel mobile growth, powering campaigns for some of the world's most ambitious advertisers. Our platform is purpose-built to deliver outcomes at scale, not just impressions.

Role Overview
As Business Development Manager, CTV, Global Partnerships at RZR, you will serve as a key partner to the Head of Global Partnerships — providing operational depth and continuity across RZR's growing publisher ecosystem. CTV is a critical and fast‑moving channel for RZR, and this role is the team's primary subject‑matter expert: owning publisher outreach, relationships, and supply strategy in that space. Beyond CTV, you will lead contract negotiations with new partners and evaluate emerging verticals including ad servers, data partners, and PMPs. As RZR scales its partnerships function, this hire ensures the team can move faster and go deeper without a single point of failure. This is an individual contributor role with real ownership from day one; you will not be handed a playbook — you will build one. The right person brings genuine CTV depth, proven negotiation ability, and the judgment to operate independently while keeping the right people aligned.
