Technical Account Manager, Inventory
role at
The Trade Desk .
The Trade Desk is changing the way global brands and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. Our media buying platform delivers a more insightful and relevant ad experience for consumers—setting a new standard for global reach, accuracy, and transparency. We are proud of the culture we have built and value the unique experiences and perspectives that each person brings. We are committed to fostering inclusive spaces where everyone can be their authentic selves.
What We Do The Trade Desk is on a mission to streamline and enhance advertising’s supply chain on the Open Internet. The Inventory TAM discipline is the primary technical point of contact through which the media world’s most premium publishers and sellers connect to The Trade Desk’s buy‑side platform. As experts in our proprietary technology, the TAM team executes integrations with SSPs and directly with publishers via OpenPath. We consult on usage of identity products (UID2, OpenPass) and identify opportunities to improve relationships with supply‑side partners through technical solutions. We are problem solvers and trusted experts at the front of the company’s newest initiatives.
What You’ll Do Technical Account Managers oversee integrations with inventory/publisher partners. The TAM is responsible for guaranteeing the technical aspects of partner integrations—both new and ongoing—by providing documentation and technical guidance. They serve as liaisons between partners and Engineering teams. The role does not involve building software but requires leveraging multiple technologies and tools to manage complex and custom integration projects. The TAM should be a solution‑oriented advisor who can understand and communicate advanced engineering concepts to non‑technical stakeholders. In addition to technical advising, the TAM helps identify new opportunities where our products can better help partners’ businesses.
