  • Negotiate, renew, and grow Düsseldorf agency trading deals and commercial agreements to ensure profitability and scale.
  • Execute annual/quarterly planning, set sales strategies, manage pipeline coverage, and deliver accurate financial forecasts.
  • Lead, motivate, and develop the Düsseldorf sales team through regular operating cadences and performance reviews.
  • Partner closely with the Hamburg sales leadership and wider EU teams to drive national agency development and product adoption.
  • Represent GumGum at German industry events and collaborate cross-functionally with AdOps, Client Success, and Marketing.

  • Established, trusted relationships across the Düsseldorf agency ecosystem (especially holding companies and key independents).
  • Proven sales management experience, with a track record of developing sellers and leading distributed or split-location teams.
  • Deep understanding of programmatic buying, ad serving, and the German digital ad landscape (knowledge of attention/contextual solutions is a plus).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
