We are proud of the culture we have built. We value the unique experiences and perspectives that each person brings to The Trade Desk, and we are committed to fostering inclusive spaces where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work every day.

  • Work closely with Product Management and other cross-functional teams to help define features and enhancements to improve the platform. 
  • Help build our trading best practices, including creating training collateral and internal resources. 
  • Work closely with the client services team to develop and execute an onboarding plan that will make customers successful with our real time buying platform. 
  • Understand and effectively communicate The Trade Desk’s value proposition, technology, processes, and partnerships, as they relate to growth of current client accounts. 
  • Help build the Client Services practice, including developing training material, customer facing assets, and internal resources for trading media through our platform. 

Who you are: 

  • Programmatic Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with DSPs, online ad operations, and the broader programmatic ecosystem. 
  • Strategic Problem-Solving: A consultative approach to navigating complex advertising and business challenges for clients. 
  • Strong Leadership & Coaching: Proven ability to set clear goals, measure success, hold external and internal teams accountable, provide constructive feedback, and foster professional development of the trader’s community. 
  • Comprehensive Industry Knowledge: Experience working across the full programmatic supply chain, including ad exchanges, aggregators, ad servers, and optimization platforms. 
  • Performance-Driven Mindset: Hands-on experience in trafficking and optimizing CPA, CPC, and direct marketing campaigns, preferably in an RTB environment.
