Role Overview

RZR is hiring its first Agency Lead in EMEA, based in London. This is a senior individual contributor role on RZR's Agency Partnerships team, reporting directly to the Global Head of Agencies.

The role is built for a hunter-minded business development professional with deep fluency in the UK and broader European media agency ecosystem. You understand how holding companies operate across EMEA markets, how agencies buy mobile media, and how to build lasting commercial relationships across multiple levels of agency hierarchy. London's position as the hub of EMEA agency operations makes this role central to RZR's international growth strategy.

You will own a defined book of business covering holding company and independent agency relationships across the UK and key European markets, driving net new partnerships while deepening commercial engagement within existing ones. The scope spans the full agency landscape: from holding company networks like WPP, Publicis, IPG, Omnicom, Dentsu, and Havas, to high-growth independent agencies across the region. You will serve as RZR's primary agency presence and voice across EMEA, and you will build that presence from the ground up.

Partner with the Global Head of Agencies on event strategy, pre-event outreach, and post-event follow-through

Feed competitive intelligence and market signals from EMEA events and conversations back to the broader team

Provide accurate weekly pipeline updates and flag risks or acceleration opportunities proactively

Strong written communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling, personalized outreach that cuts through the noise

Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot preferred) and sales intelligence platforms (LinkedIn Sales Navigator or similar)

Hunter mentality: motivated by pipeline creation and new logo acquisition, not just relationship maintenance

Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with time zone separation from US-based leadership

Nice to Have

Familiarity with mobile measurement, programmatic buying, or app marketing ecosystems

Experience using AppMagic or Sensor Tower for prospect research

Existing relationships within holding company EMEA hubs (WPP, Publicis, IPG, Omnicom, Dentsu, Havas) based in London
