• Build relationships with prospective publishers and developers and understand their business, growth priorities and monetisation needs.
• Communicate relevant programme and product value propositions clearly and confidently.
• Support publishers in understanding digital advertising and monetisation solutions and connect them with the right internal expertise where required.
• Build credibility within South Korean's app developer, gaming and publisher communities through thoughtful and culturally appropriate engagement.

Sales & Market Support

• Support preparation for prospect meetings and presentations by gathering relevant company, market and performance information.
• Track outreach activity, meetings, pipeline progress and conversion in Salesforce.
• Share recurring prospect feedback, local-market insights and emerging opportunities with regional stakeholders.
• Support relevant industry events, networking opportunities and partner engagement initiatives.

• Ideally 1–3 years of experience in B2B sales, sales development, business development, partnerships or another client-facing commercial role.
• Fluent Korean with strong written and verbal communication skills, alongside professional working English.
• Strong understanding of South Korean's business culture and the confidence to engage professionally with local stakeholders.
• Curious about technology, apps, gaming, digital advertising and the wider publisher ecosystem.
