Director of Business Development

About RevOptimal:

RevOptimal is building the future of privacy-conscious identity resolution for advertising. Instead of relying on outdated identifiers like cookies, IP addresses, or device IDs, we resolve identity using deterministic, people-based signals to help advertisers reach real audiences with greater precision and confidence. Our solutions power smarter audience targeting, cross-device attribution, and curated private marketplaces—helping brands and agencies make their data work harder.

The Role:

We are seeking a high-performing Business Development Director 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 B2B or Healthcare 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.

What you'll 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.

• 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.
