You’ll partner closely with product, R&D, and the commercial business to ensure we are continuously translating product strategy into clear priorities, aligned execution, and measurable outcomes.
You are a force multiplier for the R&D organization — driving clarity, discipline, transparency, and alignment across product and company leadership. You shift fluently between strategic, operational, and communication flows. You will tune and evolve the systems and rhythms that connect strategy formulation to goals, delivery, and client impact. You drive adoption of standards that enable scalable, data-driven operations, partnering with cross-functional teams to resolve friction and deliver on shared objectives.
You are essential to the successful delivery of great products. You have deep empathy for internal and external customer needs, build scalable feedback mechanisms that weave quantitative and qualitative data into cohesive insights, and translate those insights into prioritized product opportunities that influence roadmaps to drive progress against measurable outcomes.
What You Will Be Doing
You will be focused on contributing to product operating rhythms and amplifying capabilities across the R&D organization. You will help the product organization evolve processes and operate at scale, ensuring that what we develop connects to both customer and business outcomes. You will support Product Ops Leadership in developing and delivering against strategies that tie the team’s work to The Trade Desk’s ability to bring the right products to market.
