Regional Director — Southeast Asia

Who we are

AdZoic is an AI-native ad-buying platform. Brands and agencies tell us their goal and budget, and our AI buys the right ads for them, in real time — across streaming TV, online video, websites, apps, audio, native, and digital billboards.

Behind that simple idea is powerful technology. Every day, our platform helps advertisers reach the right audience while maximizing performance through intelligent, data-driven media buying. We are a small team in Dhaka, building the future of programmatic advertising for Asian markets.

Why this role matters

AdZoic is an AI-powered ad-buying platform (DSP) built for Asian markets, with a full programmatic stack — DSP, SSP, and real-time bidding. The technology is built and running. Now we need it in the hands of advertisers and publishers in Southeast Asia — and that's you. You will be AdZoic in Southeast Asia: opening the market, signing the first agencies and brands, bringing on publishers, and building the local team as revenue grows. This is a founder-style role, not a caretaker role. You get a working platform, a support team in Dhaka, and a market to win. What you build is yours to run.

What you'll do

• Own the AdTech business end to end: revenue, partnerships, and growth strategy.
• Open doors with the market's top agencies, brands, and media buyers — and convert conversations into spending advertisers on our DSP.
• Sign publishers and app developers to our SSP, building the local supply that makes our marketplace strong.
• Build relationships with local ad exchanges, data partners, and industry bodies.
• Adapt our pitch, pricing, and packaging to how Southeast Asia actually buys — you know the local dynamics, we don't.
• Hire and lead the local team (sales, account management, ad ops) as revenue justifies it.
• Own the numbers: pipeline, revenue forecasts, and market P&L, reported honestly to headquarters.
• Feed market intelligence back to Product — what features and formats Southeast Asia needs to win.
• Represent AdZoic at industry events, and build our brand presence in the market.

What you'll bring

• 7+ years in digital advertising or AdTech sales, with 3+ years leading revenue or a market.
• Deep, real relationships with agencies, brands, or publishers in Southeast Asia — people who take your call.
• A track record of hitting revenue targets you can walk us through, number by number.
• Working knowledge of programmatic advertising — DSP, SSP, RTB — or hands-on experience with platforms like DV360, The Trade Desk, or Xandr.
• The founder mindset: comfortable starting from zero, selling without a big brand behind you, and doing the work yourself before you have a team.
• Fluent English plus the local business language of Southeast Asia.
• Ownership. You open the market, you grow it, you answer for it.

Nice to have

• Experience launching a product or company into a new market.
• An existing book of business or partner network that can move with you.
• Experience on the publisher/supply side as well as the buy side.
• Prior country-manager or regional-lead experience at an AdTech, SaaS, or media company.

Location

• Based in your market in Southeast Asia — hybrid, with travel across the region and close collaboration with the Dhaka headquarters team.

Compensation & what you'll get

• Competitive base + revenue-linked incentives, benchmarked to your market. Equity available for the right candidate.
• Festival bonus (twice a year), plus performance, referral and sales incentives.
• Medical coverage for you and your immediate family (in process).
• Learning budget for professional development — and the opportunity to work directly with leadership and enterprise clients.
• Quarterly team outings; annual, casual and sick leave, plus maternity and paternity leave.
