Senior Independent Sales Consultant - Rokt Ads, Germany (Independent Contractor)

We are Rokt, a hyper-growth ecommerce leader. Rokt is the global leader in ecommerce, unlocking real-time relevance in the moment that matters most. Rokt’s AI Brain and ecommerce Network powers billions of transactions connecting hundreds of millions of customers, and is trusted to do this by the world’s leading companies.

Rokt is an AI-first company. We are a team of builders helping smart businesses find innovative ways to meet customer needs and generate incremental revenue. Leading companies drive 10-50% of additional revenue—and often all their profits—from the extra products or services they sell. This economic edge unleashes a world of possibilities for growth and innovation.

The Engagement

This is an independent contractor engagement, not a Rokt employment contract. The individual will operate through their own registered legal entity (e.g. Einzelunternehmen, UG, or GmbH registered in Germany) and invoice Rokt for services rendered under a services agreement.

We are looking for a commercially driven Senior Independent Sales Consultant to accelerate Rokt Ads growth in the DACH market. This is a senior new business engagement focused on signing net-new Rokt Ads advertiser logos across market-leading German and DACH brands in ecommerce, retail, travel, finance, subscription, and consumer categories.

This is an independently run engagement: the contractor will make direct advertiser connections across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, building senior relationships with priority prospects and establishing Rokt Ads as a high-value growth channel for leading DACH brands. The contractor determines their own commercial approach and provides periodic updates to Rokt for coordination and reporting purposes.

What You Will Deliver

• Net-new Rokt Ads advertiser logos signed across the DACH market, delivered as contracted outcomes under the corresponding services agreement.
• A high-quality pipeline of priority DACH advertiser opportunities, built and converted with commercial discipline.
• Senior stakeholder engagement across marketing, ecommerce, digital, performance, and commercial functions at target brands.
• Full ownership of discovery and pitch processes with market-leading DACH advertisers.
• Market intelligence: DACH advertiser feedback, competitive signals, and go-to-market insights shared with the EMEA team.

What We Are Looking For

• Significant experience in direct adtech, digital advertising, media, or performance marketing sales in Germany and/or the broader DACH market.
• Proven track record of signing net-new logos with market-leading German or DACH brands, ideally in ecommerce or performance environments.
• Native or near-native German fluency; strong professional English for collaboration with Rokt's global teams.
• Deep understanding of the DACH advertiser landscape — ecommerce, retail, travel, finance, subscription, and consumer brands. Familiarity with major DACH players (Otto Group, Zalando, MediaMarktSaturn, CHECK24, HRS, Scout24 ecosystem) is a strong advantage.
• Strong commercial discipline: prospecting, pipeline management, forecasting, negotiation, and deal execution.
• High ownership, resilience, and bias for action in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
• Must operate as an independent contractor through your own registered German legal entity (Einzelunternehmen, UG, GmbH, or equivalent), with the ability to invoice for services and manage your own tax and social obligations under German law.
• Awareness of Scheinselbständigkeit requirements and willingness to structure the engagement compliantly is essential.
• Prior experience working as an independent consultant, Freiberufler, or contractor in Germany is strongly preferred.
• Nice to have: experience in commerce media, retail media, affiliate marketing, customer acquisition, or AI-driven advertising solutions.

Services fee: Monthly retainer commensurate with experience.

Performance incentive: additional compensation tied to net-new Rokt Ads advertiser logos signed, as set out in the services agreement.

Rokt will reimburse reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the engagement, where agreed in advance.

The retainer reflects the commercial nature of the engagement and is not linked to a fixed number of hours or working schedule.

Invoicing and payment terms will be set out in a mutually agreed upon services agreement.

This role is not eligible for equity, employee benefits, or paid leave.

This engagement does not constitute a Rokt employment relationship. The contractor determines their own working hours, methods, and location, provided agreed commercial outcomes are delivered, and is free to provide services to other clients on a non-exclusive basis.
