Head of Political and Issue Advocacy - Washington DC
We’re looking for a Head of Political and Issue Advocacy to join our team in Washington DC and play a key role in shaping the future of neuro-contextual advertising at a global scale.
Who We Are
Seedtag is the leading Neuro-Contextual Advertising Company.
We are redefining how advertising works in a privacy-first world by moving beyond keywords and cookies, towards understanding human emotion, intent, and context.
Powered by advanced AI and neuroscience, our proprietary technology, Liz, delivers a deep, human-like understanding of content and attention. This enables brands to connect with audiences at the right moment, in the right mindset, with ads that are relevant, engaging, and respectful of the user experience.
Founded in 2014 by two ex-Googlers, Seedtag has grown into a global company with 700+ Seedtaggers across 17 countries, backed by €250M in funding, and expanding rapidly across the open web and Connected TV.
We’re not just building technology, we’re rewriting the rules of advertising.

• Partner with Product and Marketing teams to tailor solutions for political use cases.
• Position Seedtag’s neuro-contextual capabilities within a highly regulated and sensitive environment.
• Bring market insights back into the business to help evolve the product and go-to-market approach.
