WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

We are looking for driven Senior-level Product Managers who have the ability to learn, convince, prototype, build, measure, and refine the next generation of online advertising tools in a lean/agile development environment. The ideal candidate will be technical, driven, think creatively, and has great collaboration and communication skills. 

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

The Trade Desk is a rapidly growing company, as our CEO often says: "we're only 2% done". We are facing the biggest paradigm shift in advertising in the last century as the industry moves towards data-driven, results-oriented advertising.

The only way for our clients to see value from data-driven advertising is to be able to measure the results and have the best decision-making data. With 10 million requests per second that our platform considers for bidding every second we have to be great at processing data and making it available for reporting. With hundreds of dimensions and metrics we need to allow easy but powerful generation of insights without overwhelming our clients.

That's our team's responsibility and our customers are both clients and internal engineering teams within The Trade Desk.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to help us evolve existing data processing infrastructure and reporting tools. Your efforts will provide the foundation for the incredible growth our company is experiencing, and your job is to keep the machine running smoother and faster.
