RVP Business Development - North America

About the role

North America is a top growth priority for Adlook, and we're looking for the leader to build it. As VP of Business Development, North America, you'll build and lead a team of Business Development Reps, own senior relationships with agencies and brands, and set the go-to-market strategy for the region.

Responsibilities

• Take an entrepreneurial approach to winning new business across North America, with the US as a focus market
• Build and lead a team of Business Development Reps across the region
• Own relationships with senior stakeholders at agencies and brands
• Drive cross-functional projects to deliver against business expectations
• Evangelize Adlook's values and USPs within the regional team and with clients
• Mentor and lead the team
• Define and execute the go-to-market strategy for North America, in partnership with global leadership
• Represent Adlook at industry events, conferences, and client meetings to build brand presence in the region

Requirements

• 10+ years in business development / sales within adtech, martech, or digital media — ideally with DSP, programmatic, or performance marketing exposure in a managerial role
• Proven track record building and scaling a BD or sales team from the ground up
• Established network of senior relationships at agencies and/or brands in the US market
• Strong commercial acumen — comfortable owning a revenue number and building the plan to hit it
• Experience operating in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment with limited structure
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, able to work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Ad Operations
• Based in the US (or willing to relocate), with flexibility to travel across North America
• Fluent English; additional languages a plus

Why Adlook?

• A real leadership mandate. This isn't inheriting a built-out org — it's building one. You'll shape the team, the strategy, and the North America playbook from close to zero.
• Backed, not bootstrapped. As part of RTB House Group, you get the stability and resources of an established global player while still working with startup speed and autonomy.
• A seat at the table. Direct visibility with senior leadership and a real say in how Adlook shows up commercially in the region.
• Momentum. North America is a strategic growth priority right now — you're joining at the point where the impact of what you build is most visible.
