Role Overview

As Account Director, TAM (Demand), you will operate as a senior individual contributor responsible for the technical success of a small number of high-impact, tier 1 and tier 2 DSP partnerships, while also driving broader marketplace-level initiatives.

You will focus on complex, high-value partnerships where performance, integration quality, and signal fidelity have a meaningful impact on revenue. In parallel, you will identify systemic opportunities across the marketplace and help shape how Verve evolves its demand-side integrations.

This role sits at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and Commercial, requiring both deep technical expertise and strong strategic thinking.

The ideal candidate is a programmatic expert who can operate at a high level with partners while also diving deep into data, logs, and technical workflows.

• Act as the technical lead for complex, high-impact accounts, working closely with Commercial counterparts

• Analyze bidstream data, logs, and large datasets to identify performance gaps and optimization opportunities

• Lead advanced troubleshooting across the auction lifecycle including bid rate, win rate, discrepancies, IVT, and signal loss

• Identify systemic issues and opportunities across the marketplace and drive solutions at scale

• Partner with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap priorities and improve integrations

• Design and support testing frameworks for new signals, integrations, and optimization strategies

• Act as a subject matter expert on DSP behavior, auction dynamics, and marketplace performance

• Standardize best practices and scalable solutions across the Technical Account Management function

• Mentor and support TAMs & Sr. TAMs on complex issues
