VP Growth (f/m/x)

About the role

We're a team of roughly 80 people operating across international markets. We move fast, stay close to our clients, and build things that actually work. As we enter our next phase of growth, we're looking for a VP Growth to lead our commercial function and help define what that growth looks like. The Role This is not a pure sales closer role. Our team already has strong operators closing deals. What we need now is a strategic leader: someone who can set direction, build the systems, and elevate the people already doing good work. You will own the entire commercial function: revenue targets, sales strategy, pipeline quality, new product go-to-market, and team development. You'll report directly to the CMO and work closely with RevOps, marketing (Melissa Bohlsen), and our OEM partners. Your Mission Own the commercial strategy: set and monitor revenue targets, design and enforce sales processes, and drive pipeline health across the team Lead new product go-to-market: build the sales materials, run pilot pitches with advertisers, train the team, and own first-revenue milestones for every new product AVOW launches Be the senior sparring partner the team needs: challenge thinking, mentor team leads, and manage strong personalities with clarity and respect Bring industry authority: your deep knowledge of mobile OEM advertising or major app ecosystems means you'll catch what others miss - in contracts, in processes, in market positioning Collaborate cross-functionally with RevOps, marketing, and events teams to ensure commercial and content strategy are aligned Build and nurture relationships with external partners - acting as a credible counterpart for both advertisers and supply partners, and navigating complex conversations on behalf of the business Identify and remove the blockers that slow the team down - working with supply, RevOps, and cross-functional partners to resolve friction points and keep the sales machine running at full speed Must-haves 5-10+ years in mobile ad tech, OEM advertising, or major app ecosystem advertising - you know this industry from the inside Proven experience managing and developing sales teams: you are a mentor and a sparring partner first, not just a top performer Track record of owning GTM strategy for new products - from zero to revenue Strong commercial instincts: you can set targets, architect processes, and spot errors in contracts or workflows before they become problems Fluent English; comfortable operating across time zones and international markets Nice-to-haves Direct experience with mobile OEM ad platforms (Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, vivo, Transsion) An existing network of advertisers or agencies in gaming, fintech, e-commerce, or betting verticals Familiarity with HubSpot and RevOps workflows Based in Berlin or open to relocating; German language skills are a bonus We know that individuals who identify as women, trans, or non-binary tend to hesitate to apply unless they meet almost all the requirements.
