Business Development Director - Political Audiences

About RevOptimal : The Role :

We are seeking a high-performing Business Development Director - Political Audiences to significantly grow revenue by selling our proprietary audience solutions and data packages to brands, media agencies, and trading desks.

The successful candidate will be a specialist in Political data and possess a deep understanding of the agency and ad tech landscape. This role requires a professional who is disciplined, brings urgency, and has a proven passion for partnering with agency and client leaders to drive digital transformation.

This is an individual contributor role, reporting directly to the SVP of Sales.

You will Do :

  • Build and manage a revenue pipeline : Hunt new business within target verticals and agencies, run outbound campaigns, develop warm introductions into long‑term partnerships and maintain 3–4× pipeline coverage.
  • Practice consultative selling : Understand each client’s goals and develop tailored audience strategies that unlock those objectives. Collaborate with internal teams to design PMP deals and direct IO campaigns.
  • Package audiences : Understand our 1P signals and data partnerships and translate into sellable opportunities; brief Product / Operations, create PMP deals, whitelists, and direct IO deals for social activations—with a strong focus on Political focused, data-layered PMP offerings.
  • Forecasting & pricing : Own deal strategy, rate cards, and volume commitments; maintain accurate pipeline in HubSpot, drive opportunity progression, and ensure SLAs are met.
  • Relationship management : Cultivate senior relationships at agencies (planning, investment, programmatic), sales leadership at platforms and directly with brand marketers. Position RevOptimal as a long-term growth partner, not just a data vendor.
  • Voice of customer : Channel market feedback to product and data teams to improve audience product strategy and internal reporting.

You Have :

  • 7+ years in digital ad, audience or programmatic sales at a publisher, data provider, DSP, SSP or other media platform.
  • A track record of exceeding quota selling audience / data solutions, PMPs or direct IO deals to agencies / brands, including experience with Political-focused opportunities.
  • Experience selling data or media solutions directly into the political / public affairs sector (campaigns, agencies, advocacy groups).
  • Existing, strong connections within the political and advocacy advertising landscape (Republican, Democratic, and Non-Partisan).
  • Knowledge of campaign finance compliance (FEC / local laws) and common political advertising platforms.
  • Existing relationships across holding-company agencies or independents and / or trading desks; comfortable presenting to senior buyers and stakeholders.
  • Fluency in the programmatic landscape and all its acronyms - from DMP to PMP
  • Strong commercial acumen : pricing strategy, negotiation, and multi-threading complex deals.
  • CRM discipline (Salesforce or HubSpot), plus working knowledge of Excel / Sheets; comfort with BI tools like Omni / Looker / Tableau a plus.
  • Strategic, disciplined, and proactive — someone who thrives in high-accountability, performance-first cultures
  • Excellent communication—clear, concise proposals and persuasive storytelling.
  • IAB Digital Media Sales Certification, The Trade Desk Edge Academy, Google DV360 certifications.
  • Familiarity with privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA / CPRA), consent signals, and identity / clean-room solutions.
  • OTE : base + uncapped variable, with accelerators for over-performance
  • RevOptimal is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
