Globally and locally, we are the largest independent DSP. We are looking to grow our management team with someone who will work on both agency business and brands directly.

4. Demonstrate the value of The Trade Desk to clients by upselling innovative solutions that meet the clients' needs and our business goals.

5. Lead key client meetings in collaboration with business development and trading counterparts.

6. Network within agencies and brands to find key decision makers, build trust, and drive influence across client teams.

7. Develop trusting and productive relationships with key stakeholders both internally and externally.

8. Lead the development of portfolio-specific goals based on the company's vision and values, and work in tandem with the Business Development team to track the progress of portfolio goals regularly.

9. Become the conduit between our clients and our Product teams to develop custom solutions. Manage team bandwidth while delivering high-level account support and reporting progress to build your team.

10. Participate in broader organizational leadership initiatives (e.g., Regional All Hands, Global team syncs, Client Services Learning Hours, etc.) ensuring successful implementation and execution by modeling organizational and leadership capabilities.

11. Actively leverage and improve established processes, documents, checklists, etc., that ensure efficient procedures and continual improvement of your pod.

Who you are:

1. Highly organized with a strong attention to detail.

2. Ability to learn and understand new technologies and effectively summarize their value for different stakeholder groups.
