Who we are 

The Trade Desk is changing the way global brands and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. How? With a media-buying platform that helps brands deliver a more insightful and relevant ad experience for consumers — and sets a new standard for global reach, accuracy, and transparency. 

So if you’re talented, driven, creative, and hungry to bring something entirely new and wildly ambitious into the world (and have some fun doing it), then we want to talk. 

We are looking for a commercially savvy, very senior sales individual to identify, grow, and nurture key advertising partnerships. You will need a proven record of accomplishment in delivering results, building relationships, and collaborating with other teams as you will be working with some of our most strategic clients.

  • Communicate the value of our media buying platform by demonstrating key value positioning and unique industry perspectives 
  • Work closely with product, marketing, legal, and operational teams to constantly optimise efforts relating to company-wide goals 
  • Coordinate global account strategies with counterparts in NAMER and APAC regions 
  • Participate in product road map prioritization discussions based on client needs with senior leadership, product, & engineering  
  • Represent TTD on a global and regional stage   

 

Who you are:  

  • A proven record of accomplishment in online advertising outbound sales  
  • An agile self-starter comfortable building from the ground up    
  • Experience working across geographies in an overlay capacity with cross-functional teams  
  • Experience at an online publisher, ad network, ad exchange, ad server, SEM platform, DSP, or other online advertising role  
  • Existing relationships with decision makers at major agencies and advertisers  
  • Experience establishing longstanding, consultative client relationships  
  • Strong quantitative skills and negotiation’s ability, able to lead commercial negotiations for large global accounts  
  • A capacity to participate in technical product roadmap and product scoping exercises  
  • Effective communication skills with an ability to speak with C-level clients  
  • Passion for owning a room, closing deals, and getting wins  
  • Proven record of accomplishment of exceeding revenue expectations.
