Business & Strategy
The Trade Desk (TTD) is changing the way global brands and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. Why? Because at its best, the internet is an open marketplace of ideas, content, and commerce fueled by relevant advertising. That’s why we created an independent media buying platform designed for the open internet. One that helps marketers reach more customers in more places, with more transparency and choice at every stage.
THE ROLE
The Trade Desk (TTD) is seeking an accomplished and visionary Vice President, Business Development – Regulatory and Franchise Verticals, to lead our global strategy and relationships with the world’s leading brands. This leader will own and scale several of The Trade Desk’s most strategically critical verticals—each complex on its own, together representing a massive share of revenue, influence, and future growth.
This is a true GM-style role. This person will run multiple vertical businesses in parallel, each with distinct buying dynamics, regulatory realities, and agency relationships—while building a cohesive operating model across them.
If you’re great at complexity, scale, and people leadership, this is your arena.
