Staff Product Manager, Reporting Experiences

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.

Who We Are

The Trade Desk has also built something beyond our technology: a culture grounded in trust, ownership, and the belief that ambitious, principled people can change an industry. We value intellectual honesty, diverse perspectives, and teams that push each other to do better work. We celebrate big bets, learn from failures, and care deeply about getting things right — for our customers and for each other. If that resonates with you, we'd love to talk.

Who We're Looking For

Reporting and data analytics represent one of the most significant areas of investment at The Trade Desk right now. After building one of the most powerful programmatic platforms in the world, we are making a comprehensive, ground-up commitment to transform how our customers interact with their data — redesigning reporting experiences across the full stack, with a mandate to build something world-class. The person who joins at this moment will help define what that looks like.

The scale of the data problem is also exceptional. The Trade Desk operates at a level matched by only a handful of companies globally — processing trillions of events, across billions of ad impressions, in real time, across every channel and market. The technical and product complexity that creates is genuinely hard, and genuinely interesting. Outside of a small number of major technology companies, few environments offer this combination of data scale, business impact, and the greenfield mandate to reimagine what's possible.

This is a senior, high-visibility role, and we are looking for a particular kind of product leader: someone who has built data products that practitioners genuinely rely on, who understands the ad tech ecosystem from the inside, and who brings both the strategic range to define a multi-year vision and the rigor to see it through in the details. Product taste, technical fluency, and deep user empathy are not trade-offs here — we need all three.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Staff Product Manager, you will operate as a senior individual contributor — owning a meaningful product domain end-to-end, setting the bar for product quality and strategy, and influencing across the organization without formal authority. This is not a people management role. It is a domain ownership role, and the expectation is that you lead through expertise, judgment, and the quality of what you ship.
