VP of Ad Sales

Company Description

Adgentek is building the ad infrastructure for the agentic era. Our Agentic Ad Server runs inside AI chatbots, AI search, and conversational surfaces, and our buy-side platform, Adgentek ORCA, executes agentic media buys directly with sell-side infrastructure over the Ad Context Protocol (AdCP). Adgentek is a Founding Member of the AdCP consortium and a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program.

Because our ad server sits inside conversational AI surfaces, we capture real-time conversational intent: what people are actually asking for, in their own words. That signal powers our CTV buying and is a data asset no other platform in the market has.

The company was founded by Frank Sinton, previously founder of Beachfront (CTV ad serving and supply, acquired by Seedtag), and Paul Harrison, previously co-founder of Simpli.fi. We have built and scaled ad tech companies before. Now we are moving from build to revenue, and this is the first dedicated sales hire.

The Role

This is a founding sales seat, not a quota slot in an existing machine. Your mandate is to land agentic CTV test buys with agency investment and activation teams at holding companies and independents, then convert tests into scaled relationships.

Agentic CTV is early enough that the sale is the education. Agencies are actively looking for agentic test budgets, but the buyer needs to understand AdCP-based buying, measurement design, and how a test fits alongside their existing SSP and DSP seats before they commit dollars. That conversation runs across multiple meetings and into activation. We need someone who opens the door, teaches the category, and carries the deal through the full cycle. Introductions alone do not close this. You will.

The Role
• Own the agency pipeline end to end: prospecting, education, proposal, negotiation, activation, and renewal
• Land agentic CTV test buys with investment and activation teams at holding company and independent agencies
• Sell the differentiator: CTV buying driven by real-time conversational intent data from AI surfaces
• Build the repeatable sales motion, materials, and playbook that the future team will run
• Work directly with the founders on positioning, pricing, and deal structure
• Feed market signal back into product: what agencies ask for shapes what we build next

What You Bring
• 7+ years selling CTV or programmatic media into agencies, with existing relationships at the decision maker level across holding companies and independents
• A track record of closing, not just opening. You have carried deals from first meeting through activation and renewal
• Fluency in the CTV supply chain: ad serving, SSPs, DSPs, deal types, and measurement.
• Comfort selling a new category. You can explain something the buyer has not bought before and make the test feel safe
• Startup temperament: you build the machine rather than inherit one, and you are energized by that

Nice to Have
• Familiarity with AdCP, MCP, or the emerging agentic advertising ecosystem
• Experience selling data products or intent signal alongside media
• Existing relationships in CTV innovation or advanced TV groups at agencies
