Head of Digital Optimisation

Attractive Salary Package

London, W1

Data meets dynamism. That’s this challenge in a nutshell. Is it also you?

If so, join us now as Head of Digital Optimisation and enjoy the opportunity to thrive in driving revenue through an inspired, data-driven blend of tech decisions, commercial strategy and customer relationship management. It’s a brilliant leadership opportunity that promises huge scope to expand and progress, a totally supportive team and absolutely no timewasting micromanagement.

1XL is a digital media display proposition comprised of 43 local and regional news publishers. With over 700 sites throughout the UK and Ireland, and a de-duplicated unique user reach of 34.7 million monthly, our offering provides scalable access to over half of the UK digital population across highly trusted established news titles. What’s more, as part of Media Concierge – the independently owned network of multi-media, marketing and advertising businesses with teams around the UK and Ireland – 1XL shares the group’s commitment to allowing fresh talent to fuel the next dramatic phase in our continuing success.

And, as our Head of Digital Optimisation, that’s very good news for you.

Working alongside the Head of Data and Head of Ad Ops to lead the way forward for our fast-developing Revenue Operations team, you’ll focus on driving sustainable revenue growth from our ad partners (partnerships and SSPs), building great technical and commercial partnerships, and ensuring that the 1XL proposition meets the performance expectations of major publishers and ad partners.

This will include planning and executing partnership strategy, processes and performance measuring, fostering deep senior relationships with each partner, and working closely with other stakeholders to align business objectives: not least the technical, product, operations and marketing teams. All the time, you’ll maintain excellent communication with senior leadership and the wider organisation – as well as with customers and ad partners – providing regular revenue updates, forecasts, market intelligence and recommendations.

So what do you need to make this role yours? Relevant experience in a similar data-led role with a strong understanding of the commercial digital ecosystem (Google Ad Manager experience preferred), plus the ability to form strong relationship management with ad partners and publishers alike. You’ll be meeting clients weekly to provide technical know-how as well as consult on and dictate commercial strategy. We’ll also expect to see proven success in planning and executing commercial strategy, including go-to-market.

You’ll be joining an organisation that has achieved impressive success and growth through a combination of entrepreneurial flair, independence and stability – and is still hungry for more. It’s a fantastic environment for individual high achievers who are also solid team players and offers rewards to match.
