WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The Senior Technical Account Manager owns strategic anchor advertiser accounts directly, with minimal oversight, deepening our integrations with partners across a dedicated vertical. This individual translates company initiatives through streamlined technical consulting and operations. Someone who understands web technology, learns fast, and is not afraid of complexity.

You navigate ambiguity across client and internal organizations (Client Services, Business Development, Product, and Engineering). You are an executive‑ready communicator who presents technical trade‑offs to non‑technical senior stakeholders on both sides. You lead high‑visibility projects and ensure follow‑through on client solutions.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Own technical integration planning for a portfolio of strategic advertiser accounts within your vertical, from discovery through delivery.
• Consult on clients' technology stacks—including data clean rooms, CDPs, and identity solutions—to identify integration opportunities and drive platform adoption.
• Define and build a pipeline of integration projects by distilling business needs and challenges into actionable solutions.
• Support platform extensibility work—workflow automation, first‑party data integrations, and custom bidding builds.
• Advise clients on media data strategy, including upstream data quality decisions that affect integration outcomes.
• Act as a subject‑matter expert on our capabilities and differentiators, helping the team identify opportunities to solve business needs and drive revenue growth.
• Represent the voice of your vertical's clients in TTD's platform and API roadmap discussions.
• Communicate and collaborate with functional leaders across Commercial and Technical organizations—solving business challenges together, identifying opportunities for growth, and driving efficiency across the org.

SKILLS SUMMARY

• Demonstrated ability to influence others without formal authority; strong acumen for technical consulting and influencing client technical investments that drive positive business outcomes.
• Executive‑ready communicator with a passion for consulting, training, and bringing creativity to problem solving.
• Expert project/program manager—sets timelines, manages stakeholders, and independently drives initiatives forward. Superb attention to detail is an absolute must.
• Comfortable as a generalist across workstreams, coachable, and action‑oriented.
• Superior relationship management skills, including the ability to influence and advocate across Commercial and Technical organizations.
• Effective decision‑making: clearly defines context, stays solution‑oriented, and builds advocacy with your leadership team when necessary.
• Quickly grasps new technical subjects and explains them to nontechnical stakeholders, with real appetite to go deeper.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

• 5+ years of work experience in a technical, client‑facing role (solutions engineering, technical account management, or similar).
• Demonstrated ability to influence others to drive forward integration plans and client‑built solutions.
• Experience working with clients, product, and engineering teams, with the ability to break down complex concepts for nontechnical stakeholders.
• Strong written communication and demonstrable creative thinking and problem‑solving abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and perform in a fluid, fast‑paced work environment.
• Solid understanding of how data works.
• Light familiarity with SQL, APIs, and/or ETL.

• Ad tech or digital advertising technology experience.
• Cloud data tools (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
• Data modeling experience.
• Python and command line comfort.
• Deeper API knowledge and exposure to real‑time systems.
• Project/portfolio management experience.
