• Work hand-in-hand with expert teams (including user acquisition, ad monetization and creative production) to understand their needs and requirements and adapt the roadmap accordingly
• Keep up to date and form network with all Adtech vendors in the industry, including early-stage start-ups;
• Research industry trends and competitive landscape to quickly act on opportunities as they come up;
• Act as Ubisoft Mobile’s ambassador for all Adtech matters with development Studios, internal and external key stakeholders;

Qualifications

Ideally either from adtech vendor or agnostic adtech consultancy, with expertise in implementing and deploying several Adtech components (e.g. DMP, DSP).

• Mobile experience on both advertiser/acquisition and publisher/monetization problematics
• Strong engineering background and tech development or implementation experience
• Strong knowledge of Adtech ecosystem (Mediation, Adnetworks, MMP attribution, DMPs, DSPs, SSPs etc.)
