Hello👋I am Andrew, General Manager Revenue at Kayzen, and I am now looking for a Sales Manager - Performance  to join our global team 🙌

In this role, you will play a vital role in driving customer satisfaction, fostering long- term relationships and contributing to the overall growth and success of the company.

But wait, you have not heard of Kayzen before?😃

Kayzen is a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) dedicated to democratizing programmatic advertising. We enable leading apps, agencies, media buyers, and brands to run programmatic customer acquisition, retargeting, and brand performance campaigns through its self-serve and managed service options.

Built on the core pillars of performance, transparency, control, and empowerment, Kayzen powers the world’s best mobile marketing teams with bespoke solutions that fuel business growth and deliver a competitive advantage. With an unprecedented scale of 160B+ daily ad requests from 1.6B+ unique users worldwide, we serve up to 1B+ ads per day in 180 countries. Kayzen is accessible through our APIs and user interface.

The Team

You will work with a carefully selected, diverse and globally distributed team from customer success, engineering, data science, design, marketing, product and more. We are highly motivated and aligned in our quest to disrupt the multi-billion dollar mobile ad-tech industry. Sounds interesting?

The Role

As our Sales Manager - Performance your primary focus is on opening new opportunities with Agency customers that align to Kayzen’s strategy. Your previous experience as a senior business leader in the adtech or digital marketing industry with a strong network with Agency executives will be a great starting point to create an immediate impact from Day 1.

The leaders in Kayzen’s team who you will closely interact with are our customer success lead (growing key customers), GM Revenue (support and help to win customers) and the wider GTM team who are all aligned in making Kayzen a continued success.  Apart from your primary tasks, you are welcome to contribute to multiple areas in the organization such as product, data analytics and partnerships. 

Since our key product and customer success team members are located globally, we are open to a remote setup for this position. For optimal overlap with customers’ time zones and internal teams your main working hours should overlap heavily with the CET timezone.
