About Livewire
Livewire is on track to become the world’s largest and most effective platform for in-game and around-the-game advertising solutions, doubling its revenue every year since inception.
As the single-entry point for the world’s largest brands to connect with gamers, Livewire seamlessly integrates brands into gaming environments - inside the game, around the game, and through immersive experiences - while partnering with the most loved and trusted game publishers.
Gaming is the next frontier of digital media consumption, a once in a generation revolution that is transforming the way audiences engage with content. As the world moves beyond passive viewing, clicks and scrolling to playing, interacting, and experiencing, Livewire is enabling brands to capture the attention of over 3 billion players globally - in a repeatable, measurable, and highly monetizable way.
Livewire is at the forefront of gaming's evolution, not just capitalising on the shift but leading it, defining new ways for brands to engage audiences where they play, interact, and transact.
About the Role
As our Head of Media Monetization for EU, you’ll be the driving force behind Livewire's revenue growth in the digital realm. Your fluency in the tech that powers the gaming media ecosystem, from the publisher's toolkit to the ins-and-outs of demand-side platforms (DSPs), data management platforms (DMPs), and tagging technologies. You’ll be no stranger to the likes of YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Snapchat. This role isn't just about tech—it’s about making strategic moves. You’ll have the opportunity to seamlessly collaborate with the Livewire account team and take charge as the go-to contact for our gaming partners, publishers, DSPs, SSPs, and other demand sources in your region. With your solid programmatic background, gained from stints at publishers, agencies, and ad tech vendors, means you’ll be able to work fluently with fellow pros using all the industry acronyms, but you’ll also be able to explain it all in business terms for everyone else. You’ll be at the forefront of the success of the media monetization vertical, driving growth and pushing Livewire's global expansions.
