Senior Product Manager, Audience

The Trade Desk is a global technology company and the world’s leading independent platform for digital advertising, with nearly 4,000 employees across more than 30 offices. Our technology helps advertisers reach the right audiences across the open internet — from streaming TV and podcasts to mobile apps, news, and more.

Advertising powers the content people love. By making it more transparent, effective, and responsible, we help support trusted journalism, quality entertainment, and creators worldwide. The world’s brands and agencies rely on us to reach their customers and grow their businesses responsibly.

The scale of our platform brings unique technical challenges — from processing massive datasets in real time to building systems that operate reliably on a global scale. When you work here, your impact is worldwide. We welcome diverse perspectives, encourage curiosity, and build teams that learn from one another. If you’re driven to solve meaningful challenges, we’d love to meet you.

We are looking for a driven Senior-level Product Manager who learns fast, who is humble and values teamwork; who is hungry and believes they can make our customers’ world a better place. The ideal candidate will be technical, data driven, creative, and business savvy. They will be growth oriented and able to strive for product-market fit with their teams. The kind of person who joins The Trade Desk Product Team is fearless, courageous, passionate and willing to dream big and then execute on it.

We are committed to helping you grow, challenging you with hard, meaningful work and celebrating our successes and failures together. Yes, we do fail at times because we believe risk is part of making big bets. So we take the risks and learn from them. We also value strong leadership, asking our PMs to take on large, ambitious and often ambiguous projects that can help extend our lead in the industry.

As a product manager on the Audience team you will be responsible for building the vision and strategy for The Trade Desk’s suite of audience products that help advertisers better understand their consumers through insights and reach them effectively through better targeting improving performance and growing their brand.
