About the Role

NewsBreak is looking for an Agency Partner Manager, Scaled Growth to join our Ad Platform team and help turn our agency partnerships into a consistent and scalable source of new advertisers.

In this role, you will work with both official and pilot agency partners across the U.S. and international markets. You will identify advertisers within each agency’s portfolio that are a strong fit for NewsBreak, guide them from onboarding through launch, and stay closely involved during their early weeks to help them reach sustained spend.

Beyond day-to-day account growth, you will serve as an important voice of the agency market internally, translating recurring agency needs, advertiser feedback, and growth blockers into actionable priorities for Product, Data, and other cross-functional teams.
