Description

We’re on the hunt for a Head of Agency Partnerships. A senior diplomat who gets Overwolf onto preferred vendor lists before RFPs are written and negotiates the committed spend agreements that create always-on revenue. The role provides air cover for our sellers — clearing political drama, building trust at the holding company level, and making Overwolf a strategic partner before any brief hits the market.

  • Clear trade desk barriers at the relationship level: IVT flags, brand safety, programmatic onboarding, at Zenith, GroupM Nexus, and Carat
  • Position Overwolf as a strategic gaming partner, not a transactional media vendor
  • Own the holdco view: track spend concentration, pipeline risk, and white space across each holding company; report to the CRO monthly
  • Provide air cover for sellers: absorb political drama, escalations, and brand safety concerns so the BP team stays focused on closing
