As the Director of Growth Solutions for Growth, you are the player-coach building and leading TTD’s first dedicated technical pre-sales function for new logo acquisition. You partner with Acquire Sales leadership, and their teams (BD) to land net-new advertisers — compressing time to contract and time to first dollar by focusing the team on the right deals, curating the technical knowledge that wins them, and acting as connective tissue across the functional teams that surround every complex sale. You won’t choose between leading and selling — you’ll do both. You’ll be in the room on the biggest deals, and in the standup the next morning coaching the team through the next ones. Positioning you carry into every room: The Trade Desk is a premium product for premium outcomes. What you'll do: Build and lead an agile team of 2+ Growth Strategists across Enterprise and Mid-Market coverage Define what “great” looks like for technical pre-sales at TTD: discovery quality, measurement framing, handoff standards, RFP rigor Set deal-qualification standards so the team spends time on opportunities with real Technical Account Management and real intent — not every inbound that asks Coach on technical narrative, executive presence, and stakeholder orchestration; develop Growth Solutions talent into the next generation of TTD leaders Curate the team’s knowledge base: reusable measurement plans, integration patterns, objection responses, narrative assets, proof points Run the biggest deals (player) Partner with BD on the highest-leverage opportunities — discovery, technical validation, proposal shaping, and executive conversations, building the scaffolding of success for TTD’s largest and most strategic new partnerships.
