Smadex is a global leader in the programmatic space, providing a world-class DSP for mobile, CTV, and video. As we scale our footprint across the Americas, we are looking for a strategic powerhouse to lead our partnership efforts. You will be the face of Smadex to the industry’s most important players, moving beyond simple networking to build high-value, sustainable alliances that drive revenue and product innovation.
