Job Description

Sales Engineer acting as a link between Sales team and publisher clients for Assertive Yield's ad tech solutions. Providing technical and commercial support during the sales process in remote UK environments.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead detailed technical conversations during client meetings, pitches, and product demonstrations, translating product capabilities (e.g., Yield Manager, Prebid solutions) into clear, measurable business value
  • Capable of running technical workshops and discovery sessions independently, without requiring sales support
  • Own the full RFI/RFP process, including building and maintaining a structured response framework from the ground up to ensure accuracy, consistency, and timely submission
  • Conduct in-depth pre-sales vetting to assess client needs, define integration requirements, scope the project's complexity, and prevent the pursuit of non-viable proposals
  • Ensure a smooth technical handover of new clients to Customer Success and TAM teams, documenting all pre-sales commitments, custom requirements, and technical prerequisites
  • Maintain deep, current knowledge of Assertive Yield's full product suite and the broader publisher monetization ecosystem, including header bidding, ad servers, SSPs, identity solutions, and industry standards
  • Act as an internal consultant to ensure onboarding initiatives are executed effectively across cross-functional teams
  • Surface best practices to improve customer performance and retention
  • Maintain a structured pre-sales feedback loop with Product and Engineering to directly influence AY's roadmap based on patterns identified during the sales cycle

Requirements:

  • 8+ years in a pre-sales, Solutions Engineering, or Technical Account Management role within ad tech or publisher monetization
  • Deep practical knowledge of the digital advertising ecosystem: header bidding (Prebid.js, including server-side/S2S configurations and wrapper management), Google Ad Manager, and SSP integrations
  • Familiarity with identity solutions (UID2, RampID, Topics API) and their measurable revenue impact on publisher yield
  • Understanding of CMP and consent frameworks (TCF 2.x, CCPA) and their downstream effects on auction dynamics and fill rates
  • Prior direct experience working at or closely with a publisher, SSP, or yield management platform, with working knowledge of traffic shaping, bid density optimization, and auction dynamics concepts central to Assertive Yield's core product
  • Basic scripting ability in Python or JavaScript is sufficient to validate integrations, interrogate data, or build lightweight proof-of-concept demos
  • Familiarity with ad-quality and brand-safety tooling (e.g., Protected Media, Confiant)
  • Experience with competitive landscape analysis across yield optimization platforms
  • Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical audiences (Ad Ops) and non-technical stakeholders (C-suite)
  • Strong organizational skills, managing multiple RFI/RFP processes concurrently, with a demonstrable track record of building response frameworks, not just contributing to existing ones.

Benefits:

  • Fully remote, full-time, and flexible working hours
  • A fun, smart, and diverse team
  • Competitive compensation package
