About the Role
As an Agency Development Director, you will lead Taboola's North American agency development strategy for 2-3 holding companies. You will own and grow executive relationships at C-suite, EVP, and SVP levels to champion Taboola's value and partner with sales teams to promote performance advertising beyond search and social. This high-impact, externally facing role focuses on influencing agency strategy, education, and partnership at scale.
Responsibilities
- Own and grow Taboola's relationships with assigned US agency holding company portfolio, trading desks, and key agency subsidiaries.
- Map and engage agency organizations at the executive level, building relationships across trading desk leadership, programmatic heads, and key decision-makers.
- Drive agency enablement through trainings, workshops, and strategic roadshows.
- Partner with agencies on cobranded marketing, thought leadership, tentpole activation, and event activations.
- Collaborate with Taboola's sales teams to connect agency relationships to opportunities and convert enthusiasm into revenue.
- Lead commercial agreements from concept to signature to advance strategic partnerships and revenue growth.
- Gather market intelligence and relay agency feedback to internal teams to refine Taboola's agency offering.
- Represent Taboola at key industry events and in the agency community, proactively reeducating on Taboola's value.
Requirements
- 12+ years of experience in digital advertising at a top-tier technology or media company, with a strong focus on holding company agency development.
- Established executive relationships (C-suite, EVP, SVP) at major US agency holding companies and their subsidiaries, spanning multiple practice areas.
- Deep knowledge of the agency ecosystem, including how holding companies, trading desks, and agency brands operate, plan, and buy media.
- A track record of driving revenue growth and business impact through strategic agency partnerships, rather than direct account-level selling.
- An ambitious entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for building relationships and executing strategy with minimal oversight.
- Demonstrated experience negotiating or structuring JBPs, MSAs, or similar enterprise-level commercial agreements.
- Comfort with frequent travel (typically 2+ domestic trips per month for 1-2 nights, with occasional longer trips).
