    Job description

    The Trade Desk is a global technology company and the world’s leading independent platform for digital advertising, with over 3,000 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.

    The Account Executive or Senior Account Executive is a high-impact sales role focused exclusively on acquiring net new advertisers to The Trade Desk platform. You will be responsible for identifying, engaging, and closing new brand relationships, owning the full sales cycle from initial outreach through first scaled investment.

    • Build relationships with senior decision-makers, including C-level stakeholders across brands and agencies
    • Develop and execute winning strategies for competitive opportunities, including RFP responses and new business pitches
    • Negotiate and close new agreements, including MSAs, initial spend commitments, and long-term partnerships
    • Collaborate cross-functionally with Client Services, Trading, Marketing, Product, and other teams to ensure successful onboarding and early campaign success
    • Maintain a disciplined approach to pipeline management and forecasting, with clear visibility into new business performance
    • Leverage market insights and competitive intelligence to strengthen positioning and improve win rates

    Who you are:

    • 3+ years of digital advertising sales experience (Account Executive) or 5+ years of digital advertising sales experience (Senior Account Executive)
    • Own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and discovery through pitch, negotiation, and execution of commercial agreements
