WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

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.

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.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Build 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. This work increasingly relies on Agentic‑AI workflows to identify and reach the highest value consumers.
