Senior Account Executive, Programmatic (NYC)

About Wunderkind:

Wunderkind is a performance marketing solution that uses AI and data to help brands acquire and retain customers through one-to-one, personalized messages across websites, email, text, and ads, guaranteeing a lift in revenue. 

After driving growth for 400+ retailers and eCommerce companies, Wunderkind has successfully pioneered an ad experience that allows Publishers to give their visitors a better ad experience -- one that puts content first and ads second. 

Rather than placing an ad in front of someone while they're actively trying to read content, our technology patiently waits until a visitor has stopped reading before rendering our ad on the page. And that patience pays off -- it turns out that when an ad experience respects the user's reason for visiting a page, the user respects the ad experience in return. This unique, brand safe approach to ad experience gives an advertiser's message more attention and greater engagement.

About the Role:

Wunderkind is looking for a top-performing Senior Account Executive to work with our Senior Director on a specified list of agency, trading desk, brand and DSP accounts across NYC and the larger east coast region. We are looking for someone with a proven track record of revenue growth and has healthy client relationships.
