We’re a rapidly growing startup and we just raised a 2nd round of funding. We’re re-imagining what’s possible in display advertising using behavioral analysis and exit intent to deliver the right message to the right user at the right time.

Smart Exit Ads is a new, premium channel for advertisers to reach their audience on trusted publishers. Our campaigns have over 96% viewability and up to 30 times higher click-through rate compared to traditional display ad formats. We do this by identifying the moment users are more likely to engage with the ad.

We’re looking for an experienced and well connected Account Director to introduce Smart Exit Ads to the UK market, pursue, negotiate and close deals. You’ll need to tailor your pitch around the problems and needs of each brand or agency, make sure that they get the best customer experience and communicate the ways Smart Exit Ads can take their display advertising to a new level.
