• Strengthen multi-level relationships—from global leadership to regional media directors and platform specialists.
• Champion the adoption of Genius Sports’s advertising capabilities and educate agency partners on how to integrate these capabilities into media plans, trading strategies, and testing frameworks.

Agency-Focused Customer Success Strategy

• Develop the customer success vision and roadmap specifically for global agencies and their operating companies.
• Build frameworks that drive consistent product adoption across agency networks, regions, and business units.
• Align success initiatives with agency commercial goals, workflow models, and measurement requirements.
• Create scalable engagement models that support both enterprise-level relationships and in-market media teams.

Lifecycle Management Across Complex Agency Structure

• Lead onboarding, implementation, and activation programs tailored to agency workflows and media planning cycles.
• Build repeatable success plans that drive campaign performance, operational efficiency, and platform education across hundreds of client accounts throughout the sports calendar.
• Ensure frictionless support for complex integrations and campaign challenges.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Influence

• Collaborate with Sales and Agency Partnership teams to build unified strategies for global holding-company engagement.
• Work closely with Product and Engineering to prioritize features that support agency buying patterns, meet reporting and measurement requirements, and advance Genius’s offering.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing to develop agency-focused enablement materials, case studies, and strategic thought leadership.
• Work with Operations and Data teams to ensure scalable processes that meet agency service-level expectations.

Team Leadership

• Scale and mentor a global team of Customer Success Managers.
• Establish cultural norms for proactive communication, strategic thinking, and top-tier professionalism with agency partners.

What You'll Bring:

• 10+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Client Services within Ad Tech, MarTech, or programmatic media.

• Extensive experience working directly with major global advertising agencies—ideally across multiple holding companies.

• Deep understanding of agency structures, decision-making processes, and media trading operations.

• Proven ability to build senior-level agency relationships and drive multi-market partnership growth.

• Strong understanding of programmatic workflows, data integrations, measurement, and cross-channel campaign execution.

• Exceptional executive communication skills, with an ability to influence senior stakeholders internally and externally.
