About the role
Company Description
Bold Collective is an independent omni-channel ad exchange built for the modern programmatic ecosystem. Our core mission is to bring greater transparency, efficiency, and control to programmatic buying across premium digital environments.
Over the last 12 months, we’ve built HBX — our proprietary exchange infrastructure designed specifically for today’s buy-side needs. HBX provides programmatic buyers with the flexibility, granularity, and operational capabilities they expect from a modern exchange partner across Audio, CTV, and Mobile Video.
As an independent company, we move quickly, partner closely with our clients, and focus on building long-term marketplace value rather than maximizing short-term platform margins.
Role Description
Bold Collective is seeking a highly motivated Buyer Development Manager to help accelerate demand growth across the HBX exchange.
This role will focus heavily on sourcing, developing, and closing net new buy-side partnerships across agencies, DSPs, SSPs, trading desks, and programmatic marketplaces. The ideal candidate understands the programmatic ecosystem deeply, has existing industry relationships, and thrives in a fast-moving startup environment.
You will play a key role in expanding buyer adoption across our three core channels:
In addition to opening new business opportunities, this person will help strengthen and grow existing buyer relationships by identifying incremental spend opportunities, new integrations, and strategic marketplace partnerships.
This is a highly entrepreneurial role with significant growth potential and direct exposure to company leadership.
The position can be either full-time or part-time depending on experience and fit. Bold Collective operates as a fully remote company, and this position will also be fully remote, with periodic travel required for industry conferences, client meetings, and partner events.
