Client Service Director, Advertiser (CPG)

The Trade Desk is changing the way global brands and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. How?

We are proud of the culture we have built.

So, if you are talented, driven, creative, and eager to join a dynamic, globally-connected team, then we want to talk!

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING :

• Serve as the technical and strategic lead for a portfolio of top-tier CPG clients and agencies, helping them architect high-impact programmatic strategies that align with both brand and business objectives.
• Design and implement long-term platform adoption roadmaps, tying together identity solutions, data partnerships, measurement frameworks, and retail media activations across global markets.
• Lead strategic planning and technical solutioning for complex use cases involving custom audiences (e.g., UPC, SKU-level), data clean rooms, advanced measurement (e.g., incrementality, sales lift), and omnichannel execution.
• Partner with internal product, data, and engineering teams to shape feature development and integrations that address CPG-specific challenges, such as closed-loop measurement, retailer co-op compliance, geo-fenced attribution, and cross-retailer optimization.
• Analyze campaign performance using SQL, Python, Looker, or other BI tools, and use that data to drive insight-driven business reviews, optimization frameworks, and experimentation plans.
• Develop tailored strategies for media mix modeling (MMM) alignment, first-party data onboarding, and retail media integrations that support both upper- and lower-funnel goals.
• Act as a technical translator between business and product teams—communicating platform capabilities and limitations in context of the client’s martech stack and organizational priorities.
• Establish yourself as a thought partner and trusted advisor to VP and C-suite level stakeholders across client and agency organizations.
• Lead knowledge-sharing initiatives internally and externally, including building vertical-specific playbooks, technical documentation, and omnichannel activation guides for CPG use cases.
• Coach and mentor junior team members in advanced platform capabilities, measurement theory, and client storytelling.
• Extract and synthesize actionable insights from advertiser data using advanced analytics, then translate those findings into tailored, brand-specific narratives and strategic recommendations that drive growth and platform adoption on The Trade Desk.
