About the Role
Join the leading performance-driven advertising company as Managing Director - EMEA Publishers. Own and grow the publisher business across EMEA, setting commercial strategy, leading a multi-market team, and shaping partnerships with major media companies. This is an end-to-end leadership role with P&L ownership and significant autonomy.
Responsibilities
- Have full ownership of EMEA publisher revenue and profitability, across both new business and growth of existing partnerships.
- Lead and grow the publisher leadership team across EMEA markets, and the sales and account-management teams beneath them.
- Define how we win new publishers and deepen relationships with existing ones, market by market.
- Represent Taboola at C-level with strategic publisher partners across the region.
- Build one consistent, high-quality go-to-market approach, adapted intelligently to each market.
- Bring new formats, new supply models and data-rich products into the core business.
- Set the tone for how the organisation works, grows and feels to be part of.
- Build inclusive, high-trust, psychologically safe teams where people do their best work.
- Develop leaders, not just managers, building a strong leadership bench with clear succession.
- Set a clear, motivating direction and hold the organisation to high standards with empathy.
- Attract, retain and grow top talent, making this a place people want to build a career.
- Bring exceptional commercial judgment: size opportunities, prioritise ruthlessly, and decide well under uncertainty, including personally building and closing large deals.
- Instil rigorous pipeline management and forecasting discipline across the region, so we have an accurate, real-time view of what is coming and a repeatable, well-qualified path from first conversation to close.
Requirements
- A proven track record of senior commercial leadership in publisher or supply, media, ad-tech or a platform business.
- A track record of owning a P&L or revenue number at regional scale.
- Experience leading leaders and managing managers across multiple markets.
- Strong deal-making ability with credible C-level relationships.
- Ability to be both strategic and operational: build playbooks and scale teams.
- People-first leadership style, building inclusive, high-performing cultures.
- EMEA multi-market experience, comfortable in a matrixed, international organisation.
- Excellent communication skills in English.
- The ability to drive change in a fluid environment and successfully build and scale without historical blueprints.
