Director Data Sourcing & Strategy (m/f/d)

Leadership Berlin · 8 July 2026
€90,000–€110,000/yr Full-time Hybrid

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.

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. You'll work hand-in-hand with Product, Legal, and Engineering, and grow the function as Adsquare scales.

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

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 strategy and execution: 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.

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.

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.
