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.
This is a fully remote role to service Independent agencies in the North of England (typically Manchester and Leeds). There is an expectation to visit these clients regularly during the week (travel costs expensed) as well as occasional (~once per month) travel to TTD offices in London for commercial team events. You will work alongside a Business Development Director and Associate Account Director also fully remote in the North of England.
So, if you are talented, driven, creative, and eager to join a dynamic, globally-connected team, then we want to talk!
