WHAT’S THE JOB LIKE?
Day-to-day work & projects cooking
Your main mission is to unlock the full potential of Vend’s Display & Video product portfolio. While Key Account Managers (KAMs) own the high-level relationship, you are the product mastermind who makes the magic happen.

• A typical week involves jumping into meetings alongside KAMs to pitch tailored advertising proposals, hosting workshops for media planners, and analyzing campaign data to find new optimization or upsell opportunities.
• Exciting projects on the horizon include rolling out next-generation audience targeting solutions and packaging new high-yield video inventory for top-tier Nordic brands.
• Your main stakeholders will be media specialists, buyers, and activation teams externally, and Product Managers, Industry Leads, and Commercial teams internally.
• Success after 6 months means you are fully integrated into the team, recognized by major account portfolios as the go-to Display & Video expert, and actively driving product adoption.
• Success after 1 year means you have significantly grown the product pipeline, increased product penetration across key accounts, and helped shape the local product roadmap based on your market insights.

The challenge to turn into an opportunity!

The digital advertising landscape moves fast, and clients are constantly looking for measurable outcomes in a crowded market. Sometimes, bridging the gap between what the product can do and what the commercial market demands can be complex. This is your opportunity to shine: you get to be the strategic translator who shapes how our products are sold and used, establishing yourself as a critical driver of Vend’s advertising success.
