  • Become an expert on the use and best practices on The Trade Desk platform and offer insights to clients on how to improve campaigns 
  • Provide continual training to clients of all levels from young traders to heads of departments as new features are added to The Trade Desk 
  • Host meetings with people of influence on the account irrespective of the function and level 
  • Work with Product Management to help define features and drive enhancements to The Trade Desk platform and any other auxiliary element where synergies can be created (insights, measurement, billing, marketing, innovation) 
  • Help build the Client Services practice, by creating training materials, best practices, sales materials and customer facing guides 

What you bring to the table: 

  • Bachelor’s Degree 
  • 10 years digital advertising experience and client facing experience required 
  • Proven track record of growing accounts by forging a strong relationship with clients, understanding their objectives and recommending best strategies 
  • Effective time management skills – ability to prioritise and meet deadlines 
  • Experience with driving projects requiring stakeholders from different disciplines to drive output at pace 
  • Expertise in working with RTB, DSPs, ad exchanges, aggregators, ad servers, and other optimisation platforms is a plus 
  • Solid experience in Excel and MS Office, including pivot tables, chart-making 
  • Outstanding troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving abilities, along with an ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced start-up environment
