Business Development Director

The Trade Desk is a global technology company and the world’s leading independent platform for digital advertising, with nearly 4,000 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. As a Business Development Director within our Global Agency Pod, you will own and deepen strategic partnerships with Japan's largest global agency holding companies and their senior leadership teams. You will shape joint business strategies, identify opportunities to accelerate adoption of The Trade Desk platform across agency networks, and influence long-term commercial growth through executive engagement, cross-functional collaboration, and market leadership. While this is an individual contributor role, you will be expected to act as a senior leader within the pod—providing mentorship, guidance, and thought leadership to junior team members, helping elevate team performance through influence rather than direct people management. You will partner closely with Client Services, Marketing, Data Partnerships, Product, and regional leadership to shape go-to-market strategy and deliver exceptional outcomes for our agency partners.
