Overview of the role:

As the Director - Data, Identity & Addressability, you will define and lead InMobi’s strategy across data, identity, and audience ecosystems in the NA region - driving competitive differentiation and long-term revenue growth in a rapidly evolving, privacy-first landscape.

You will oversee a portfolio of strategic partnerships spanning identity frameworks, clean rooms, data marketplaces, and audience providers, while building a scalable, future-proof approach to addressability across mobile app, mobile web, and CTV.

In this role, you will act as a senior cross-functional leader, aligning Product, Sales, Engineering, Legal, and Marketing around a unified vision for data and identity. You will also serve as a key executive voice externally with partners, clients, and industry stakeholders.

The impact you’ll make:

  • Operationalize Partnerships: Move beyond deal-making to own the end-to-end partnership lifecycle and drive business outcomes within defined timelines.
  • Drive Execution & Adoption: Partner with Product and Engineering to translate complex partner capabilities (e.g., UID2, CDPs, Clean Rooms) into scalable, differentiated offerings for our clients.
  • Agency & Holding Co. Liaison: Act as the technical-commercial lead for NA-based Agency Data & Analytics teams to ensure InMobi’s identity stack aligns with their central requirements.
  • Privacy-by-Design Execution: Ensure all partnerships meet evolving global standards (GDPR, CCPA) by overseeing the technical implementation of industry frameworks such as GPP (Global Privacy Platform).
  • Internal Enablement: Serve as the "SME" for the Sales and Product Marketing teams, translating market trends and signal loss challenges into actionable field-enablement tools.
  • Custodian for Regional Activation: Hold the pen on the overall strategy for the region around audiences, data-led curation, targeting approaches to drive campaign outcomes.

The experience we need:

  • Industry Tenure: 12–15 years of experience in ad-tech, specifically within data partnerships, product partnerships, or technical business development.
  • Domain Expertise: Deep technical understanding of identity solutions (MAIDs, UID2/EUID, first-party frameworks, clean rooms, and modeled audiences).
  • The "Left-Brain" Edge: High technical literacy; you must be comfortable discussing API documentation, data schemas, and signal transmission with engineering leads.
  • Programmatic Fluency: A strong understanding of the programmatic ecosystem, including the impact of signal loss and the mechanics of the open web vs. walled gardens.
  • Negotiation Prowess: Proven experience structuring and negotiating complex, high-value partnership agreements that balance commercial gain with technical feasibility.
  • Communication & Storytelling: Exceptional ability to simplify complex technical concepts for C-level stakeholders and industry forums.
  • Academic Background: Bachelor’s degree in a technical or business field; MBA or advanced degree is a plus.
