About The Trade Desk
The Trade Desk sells an advertising technology platform that brands and agencies use to plan and buy digital ads across streaming TV, podcasts, mobile apps and news sites. Its commercial roles split business development directors and senior account executives, who win agencies, holding companies and brands in categories such as CPG, pharma, tech and telecom and direct-to-consumer, from account managers and programmatic account managers who grow spend, plus a channel team for value-added resellers. New York holds most of these roles, then Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and San Jose, with a few in Hamburg, Munich, Shanghai and London.
