Business Development Manager, Monetization
About this role
THE ROLE: We have launched two new offerings: an owned-and-operated supply monetisation product across our live sports tracking and audiovisual streaming portfolio, and a sports audience offering that makes our audiences available for activation beyond our own DSP. Both are currently in beta and entering their next phase of growth. We are looking for our first dedicated Monetisation Manager to help take these products from beta to full rollout, establish the operational foundations for growth, and support the distribution and commercial activation of our inventory and sports audience data.
This is a hands-on role. Working closely with our Head of Programmatic Partnerships on the agreed demand and audience distribution strategies, you will own day-to-day yield management, technical placement delivery and audience activation through third-party platforms. You will establish and improve processes, reporting and forecasting, working closely with our engineering, product, data and sales teams. You should be familiar with Google Ad Manager / GAM360, with practical knowledge of ad serving, placement configuration and yield management.
THE CHALLENGE: Demand strategy: Work with the Head of Programmatic Partnerships to identify, assess and prioritise demand sources by territory, including open exchange, Open Bidding, marketplaces, SSPs, PMPs and direct tags. Demand qualification and monitoring: Enforce advertiser and category restrictions in line with publisher requirements. Establish clear monitoring and escalation processes and act as the main operational contact for demand quality across our live sports supply.
Yield management: Own floor pricing, demand configuration and inventory allocation, continuously testing and optimising for revenue and fill. Placement delivery: Act as the main link between commercial and engineering teams, translating publisher and product requirements into correctly specified, tested ad placements ready for production. Audience distribution: Manage the operational distribution of our audience data through third-party exchanges, SSPs, data marketplaces and data warehouses.
Coordinate onboarding, taxonomy mapping and activation with partners and internal teams. Deal creation and activation: Build audience deals on request, distribute them to the relevant DSP seats and verify that they are available for activation. Support sales with data-controlled PMPs, ensuring the correct audience targeting, inventory, pricing and buyer access are applied. Audience partner development: Identify and engage prospective audience distribution and activation partners, assess their commercial and technical suitability, and progress opportunities with the Head of Programmatic Partnerships.
