The Trade Desk is changing the way global brands and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. How? With a media buying platform that helps brands deliver a more insightful and relevant ad experience for consumers –– and sets a new standard for global reach, accuracy, and transparency. We are proud of the culture we have built. We value the unique experiences and perspectives that each person brings to The Trade Desk, and we are committed to fostering inclusive spaces where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work every day.

We believe in the amazing power of human potential and that unlocking that potential requires deep understanding of the psychological and emotional factors that influence human performance. We also believe our espoused culture and values should accurately reflect our organization’s behavior. We believe these needs become more acute as organizations grow in size, complexity, pressure and constraints. So, if you’re a talented, driven, creative, and hungry leader who wants to bring something entirely new and wildly ambitious into the world (and have some fun doing it), then we want to talk.
