Darum lohnt es sich

About the team Data sits at the heart of everything Adsquare does — it's the raw material behind every product we sell. This role leads our data sourcing function: a small, focused team responsible for the quality, legality, and strategic positioning of the data we bring in.

A builder's role: you'll lead a small team today and shape what the function becomes.

What you will do • Define and execute Adsquare's data sourcing strategy — what to acquire, build, or partner for, and the business case behind it. • Identify, evaluate, and negotiate terms with global and local data providers (mobile apps, SDK networks, retail media, telcos, first-party data owners). • Set data quality standards and the monitoring to enforce them — catching problems at the provider level, not when a client does. • Own the legal and privacy posture on sourced data alongside Legal — consent, GDPR/CCPA and equivalents, licensing compliance. • Manage existing data-partner relationships — value, optimisation, renewals. • Partner closely with Product and Engineering on technical onboarding and evaluation of new data streams. • Build and grow the team as the function scales.

Intro Adsquare's mission is centered on: • Passion:Solving complex challenges with exceptional people, technology, and data. • Niche:Specializing in Location Intelligence for Programmatic Advertisers.

Our work is guided by our core values, and we look for candidates who embody them: • Drive:Turning ambition into action that brings valuable outcomes. • Resilience:Adapting, persevering, and growing stronger through challenges. • No BS:Upholding honesty, transparency, and clear communication. • Humble:Valuing modesty and letting results speak for themselves. • Moral Compass:Acting with fairness, integrity, and respect.

Your Mission Data is our product. You'll own the data we bring in — what we source, on what terms, to what standard — and grow that into a strategic function as Adsquare scales.

Your Profile • 6+ years in data acquisition, data partnerships, or strategic partnerships within adtech, martech, or the wider data ecosystem — with real depth, not just deal volume. • A track record of both sourcing strategyandexecution: deciding what data matters, then securing it on good terms. • Direct experience negotiating and managing data partnerships, ideally across multiple markets. • Deep grounding in privacy and compliance — GDPR, CCPA, consent frameworks, privacy-enhancing technologies. • Strong analytical instinct — able to evaluate data on quality, scale, coverage, and financial viability, not just take a supplier's word for it. • A builder — comfortable shaping a function rather than inheriting a finished one, and comfortable in ambiguity. • Direct, low-ego, high-integrity.

Fits how we work: Drive, Resilience, No BS, Humility, Moral Compass.

Nice to Have • Strong knowledge of programmatic advertising, location data, and industry identifiers. • Enough technical fluency (APIs, data formats, cloud data transfer) to challenge and guide credibly. • Experience intiating first-party data collection or a sourcing capability in a new market.
