About the Role:
Aleph is launching its dedicated Comparison Shopping Service (CSS) platform across 21 European markets, including Hungary. CSS unlocks a high-growth revenue stream by giving e-commerce merchants and webshops direct access to Google Shopping Ads auctions with a 20% bidding power advantage. We are looking for a Senior Client Partner (Commercial Lead) to drive merchant acquisition, design commercial structures, and close contracts across our European footprint, working from Budapest.
As the commercial engine behind the project, you will turn our 12% on-top fee model into compelling merchant deals, build turnkey sales collateral, and train local country teams to position CSS alongside our existing portfolio (Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Snap, Google).
What You Will Do
1. Deal Structuring & Commercial Strategy
Commercial model execution: Structure and negotiate merchant agreements using Aleph’s standard CSS commercial framework.
Tailored deal packages: Design custom commercial incentive structures (for example volume-based tiers, cross-platform spend commitments, and bundled trial periods) for tier-1 enterprise merchants and large digital agencies.
Value proposition positioning: Clearly explain the CSS financial advantage, showing how merchants achieve 8% bottom-line spend savings or +20% auction bidding power compared with Google’s default 20% margin.
2. Merchant Acquisition & Pipeline Growth
Portfolio monetization: Identify, prioritize, and pitch top-tier e-commerce accounts in Aleph’s current regional client base that spend on Google Shopping Ads outside of Aleph.
Agency and reseller partnerships: Build strategic relationships with performance marketing agencies, feed management partners, and media buyers across the 21 European CSS markets.
Sales pipeline ownership: Lead full-cycle sales for strategic, high-value accounts, from first pitch to signed contract.
3. Sales Enablement & Regional Activation
Go-to-market collateral: Partner with Product Marketing to localize commercial decks, pitch templates, ROI calculators, and contract templates across European regions.
Local team enablement: Train local country teams to position CSS alongside our existing portfolio.
4. Contracting & Governance
Contract management: Oversee contract drafting, legal reviews, billing terms, and sign-offs in coordination with Aleph Legal and Finance.
Billing alignment: Make sure client billing configurations fit smoothly into existing Aleph payment flows and credit terms.
What We Are Looking For
Experience: 3+ years in commercial roles, tech sales leadership, platform partnership management, or agency business development within digital advertising or e-commerce ecosystems.
Industry knowledge: Deep understanding of digital performance advertising, media agency commercial models, pay-per-click (PPC) pricing structures, and e-commerce growth metrics.
Dealmaking track record: Proven background in structuring multi-market contracts, negotiating complex service fees, and closing enterprise clients.
Organizational fit: An internal top performer at Aleph who wants to own a high-visibility platform launch, or an external commercial leader with deep connections in European e-commerce advertising.
Communication and mobility: Native or fluent business English (additional European languages are an advantage; Hungarian is a plus for collaboration with local merchants and teams). Comfortable working with stakeholders across remote CEE/EEA teams.
How We Measure Success (KPIs)
Merchant adoption rate: Total count, and Gross Merchandise Value / ad spend, of merchants onboarded onto the Aleph CSS platform.
Net revenue target: Total net service-fee margin generated (retaining 10% on managed CSS spend).
Portfolio migration rate: Percentage of existing eligible Aleph e-commerce clients successfully converted to Aleph CSS.
Sales velocity: Average time to move a merchant from initial CSS pitch to signed contract.
Why Join Aleph
Real commercial impact: You will own the go-to-market for a new revenue line launching across 21 European markets, with a direct line from your deals to measurable merchant savings.
Room to grow: This is a high-visibility launch role, giving you ownership of strategy, pipeline, and partnerships rather than a narrow slice of the work.
Collaborative team culture: You will work closely with Product Marketing, Legal, Finance, and local country teams, so you are never building alone.
An inclusive environment: We welcome applicants of every background, and your experience and skills are what count.
A market with momentum: Hungary is one of the European markets where independent CSS partners can place Shopping ads on Google, giving merchants a new route into the Shopping auction.
