About
MagicBid is a Gurgaon-based adtech and performance marketing company, with offices in UAE and Singapore. We run two businesses under one roof: a performance and affiliate network where advertisers pay only for outcomes (CPA, CPL, CPS, CPI, CPT), and a programmatic platform across web, app and CTV.
Our network reaches 84M+ users in 142 countries through direct publisher deals, 40+ global demand partners and an in-house media buying team on Google, Meta and native. Magic Shield, our IVT layer, keeps every placement clean and auditable.
We're a lean team that moves fast. People here own outcomes end to end and work directly with the founder.
Roles and Key Responsibilities:
Performance & affiliate
- Acquire advertisers on CPA, CPL, CPS, CPI and CPT models across fintech, BFSI, e-commerce, travel, EdTech, gaming and apps.
- Sell across our three delivery routes: the MagicBid Audience Network (owned and direct publisher inventory) and managed media buying on Google, Meta and native (Taboola, Outbrain) and DSPs.
- Onboard affiliate networks and performance agencies as both demand partners and traffic sources; negotiate payouts and margins.
- Lock KPIs, payouts and caps up front; work with campaign ops on tracking (MMPs, S2S postbacks, pixels), validation and scaling what converts.
- Lead with outcomes in every pitch, using our case studies and audience dashboard.
Brands & agencies
- Pitch branding, video and CTV campaigns to direct brands across Auto, BFSI, FMCG, Consumer Tech, EdTech, Real Estate and D2C.
- Build relationships with planning and buying teams at agency networks (GroupM/WPP, Publicis, Dentsu, Omnicom, Havas), independent agencies and performance agencies.
- Sell CPM, PMP and programmatic guaranteed deals; get MagicBid onto agency preferred-partner lists.
Revenue ownership
- Own a monthly and quarterly revenue and margin target; keep a qualified pipeline at 3–4x target.
- Run CXO, CMO and growth-head conversations; prepare consultative, outcome-led proposals and media plans.
- Cross-sell across models and formats (performance, CPM, CTV) and across geos (India, US, UK, AU, CA) to grow revenue per account.
- Track margin, not just topline: payouts, validations, deductions and collections.
- Keep the CRM accurate and share weekly forecasts, wins, losses and market feedback with leadership.
- Represent MagicBid at industry events, agency meets and affiliate conferences.
What we're looking for
- 2–8 years selling performance marketing, affiliate partnerships or ad/media sales at an affiliate network, performance agency, adtech platform, ad network or publisher.
- A track record of closing revenue against a target, with numbers you can talk through.
- Strong grasp of performance models (CPA, CPL, CPS, CPI, CPT), payouts, margins, lead validation and fraud checks.
- An existing network with performance marketers, growth teams, brand marketers and agencies in India; global exposure is a plus.
- Working knowledge of programmatic basics (DSP, SSP, PMP, CPM).
- Strong pitching, negotiation and written communication; comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders.
- Self-driven and comfortable in a fast, low-process startup environment.
- Graduate; MBA in Marketing or Sales preferred.
Good to have
- Existing relationships with affiliate networks in India and international markets (US, UK, AU, CA).
- Hands-on with MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) and affiliate tracking platforms.
- Exposure to Google, Meta and native (Taboola, Outbrain) campaign buying.
Why join magicbid:
- Direct line to the CEO and real ownership of a revenue channel.
- Uncapped incentives tied to the revenue and margin you bring in.
- Sell outcomes, not just impressions: performance, affiliate, programmatic and CTV, backed by an owned network, in-house media buying and 40+ demand partners.
- Room to grow into a team lead as the sales function scales.
