Director, Commerce Media

You’ll help grow our partnerships with major commerce media platforms, retailers, advertisers, brands and agencies, while bringing PubMatic’s commerce media offering to market in a way that delivers real commercial value.

This is a visible role with real scope. You will work at the centre of strategy, partnership growth and market development, helping customers unlock the value of first-party data and audience monetisation in a fast-evolving programmatic landscape.

If you enjoy building strategic relationships, influencing senior stakeholders, and helping shape a growing area of the business, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful mark.

What you’ll do

  • Build and grow relationships with commerce media companies, retail media organisations, advertisers, brands and agencies
  • Identify, qualify and advance new business opportunities across PubMatic’s Commerce Media offering
  • Create and execute account strategies that drive customer growth and revenue
  • Act as a trusted advisor to customers on audience monetisation, first-party data strategy and commerce media activation
  • Partner closely with internal teams across Ad Solutions, Product, Product Marketing and Partner Development
  • Share market insight and customer feedback to help influence product development and go-to-market plans
  • Represent PubMatic externally as a knowledgeable voice in the commerce media space

What we’re looking for

  • Experience in retail media or the wider commerce media ecosystem
  • Strong understanding of how first-party data can be commercialised, ideally within a programmatic environment
  • A track record of building strategic partnerships and progressing complex commercial opportunities
  • Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and presenting clearly to executive audiences
  • A collaborative, solutions-focused approach and the ability to work effectively across teams
  • Commercial curiosity and a strong understanding of key players, trends and opportunities in the commerce media market
  • Programmatic knowledge is helpful, but not essential
  • Minimum C1/C2 German

If this role aligns with your experience and career interests, we encourage you to apply: even if you do not meet 100% of the criteria. We value potential, transferable skills, and diverse perspectives alongside direct experience.
