WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

THIS ROLE IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF AI AND REVENUE OPERATIONS:This is a strategic Product Management role where you’ll embed AI capabilities into the commercial workflows that power The Trade Desk’s global go-to-market engine. You’ll work at the intersection of large language models, agentic AI workflows, and enterprise sales operations — surfacing intelligent insights and optimizing workflows that help our commercial teams work faster, forecast with confidence, and focus on what matters most: winning and growing client relationships.

Our Business Technology team owns the commercial operations ecosystem at The Trade Desk — the internal systems, platforms, and workflows that enable our revenue organization to operate at scale. We serve Business Development, Client Services, Revenue Operations, Finance, Legal, Deal Desk, Marketing, and Platform Support teams across the entire revenue lifecycle from prospecting through renewal.

We’re looking for a Product Manager who has a proven track record of deploying AI solutions in enterprise GTM or revenue operations environments.You should get excited about building an AI-powered Sales Command Center, designing intelligent deal routing that cuts cycle times, or creating predictive pipeline models that surface risks before they impact the business. Your customers are internal commercial teams — sellers, account managers, traders, and operations leaders — who need AI that is practical, trustworthy, and embedded in their daily workflows.

The Trade Desk Product Team hires courageous, passionate PMs who set big goals and execute them. We help you grow and challenge you with hard, meaningful work. We celebrate our successes and learn from our failures together. We value and develop strong leadership, asking our PMs to take on ambitious and often ambiguous projects that promise to extend our lead in the industry.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

As the Staff PM for AI-Powered Commercial Intelligence, you will own the vision, strategy, and execution of AI capabilities across our Business Technology portfolio. AI is not a separate initiative on our roadmap — it’s embedded in how we build. Every strategic theme in our 2026 roadmap has an AI dimension, and you will be the driving force behind making those capabilities real.

On a typical day, you might:

Evaluate and select AI/LLM platform vendors (e.g., Microsoft Power Platform, Salesforce Einstein/Agentforce, workflow automation platforms) for integration into our commercial operations stack

Design an agentic AI workflow that automatically routes and prioritizes deals based on deal attributes, historical patterns, and pipeline signals

Collaborate with RevOps to build predictive models that surface pipeline risks, coverage gaps, and expansion opportunities before they impact the forecast

Architect the Sales Command Center product vision — a single pane of glass for commercial teams with AI-generated prioritized action lists drawn from conversations, emails, activities, and platform signals

Write a technical specification for AI-powered task automation that generates tasks from campaign events, underpacing alerts, and advertiser behavior

Present an AI adoption strategy to GTM leadership, articulating ROI, change management approach, and phased rollout plans

Analyze adoption metrics and user feedback to iterate on AI features — measuring whether intelligent automation is reducing cognitive load for sellers

Your responsibilities include:

Owning the AI strategy and roadmap for the Business Technology team— defining where AI creates the highest-leverage impact across intelligent automation, proactive insights, enhanced decision-making, reduced cognitive load, and scaled personalization

Delivering an AI Enabled Platform for GTM and Sales Operations— a platform-based approach to introduce AI into commercial workflows without building custom one-off solutions for every use case

Partnering deeply with cross-functional stakeholders— Revenue Operations, Sales Leadership, Client Services, Finance, and Engineering — to ensure AI solutions solve real problems and drive measurable outcomes

Establishing AI adoption metrics and feedback loopsthat measure not just deployment but genuine impact on seller productivity, forecast accuracy, and deal velocity

Evaluating and integrating AI/LLM vendors and platformsthat sit on top of Salesforce and integrate with core systems — enabling consistent, scalable rollout of capabilities without bespoke development

Championing responsible AI practices— ensuring AI solutions are trustworthy, explainable, and build confidence rather than skepticism among internal users

This is a strategic role within the Business Technology organization where you will be a founding voice in how The Trade Desk applies AI to its commercial operations at scale.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

REQUIRED:

6+ years of GTM / RevOps / Product / Program experience,with at least 2 years focused on AI/ML-powered products, internal tools, or enterprise platforms

Hands-on experience with AI agentic workflows and LLM-based SaaS platforms— you have personally scoped, evaluated, and deployed AI solutions in a GTM, sales operations, or revenue operations context (not just observed them)

Deep understanding of commercial/GTM operations workflows— lead-to-cash, pipeline management, forecasting, deal desk operations, account planning, or revenue operations. You understand the pain points because you’ve lived them or built solutions for them

Proven track record of building data-driven business cases and delivering measurable impact— you can articulate results in terms of hours saved, cycle time reduced, forecast accuracy improved, or revenue accelerated

Experience with CRM as a platform— you understand CRM platforms and architecture, data models, and the ecosystem of tools that extend it (Microsoft Power Platform, Salesforce Agentforce, AppExchange, workflow automation platforms)

Strong analytical skills with the ability to work directly with data— SQL proficiency, comfort building dashboards and reports, and the ability to define and track KPIs that measure AI adoption and business impact

Excellent communication skills— you can translate AI capabilities into business value for sales leadership, articulate technical trade-offs to engineering, and drive consensus across diverse stakeholder groups

STRONGLY PREFERRED:

Experience building or deploying AI-powered sales intelligence, conversation intelligence, or revenue intelligence platforms (e.g., Gong, Clari, Microsoft Power Platform, People.ai, Salesforce Sales Cloud Einstein, or similar)

Familiarity with modern AI/ML concepts including LLMs, RAG architectures, prompt engineering, AI agents, function calling, and model evaluation — you don’t need to build models, but you need to know what’s possible and what’s practical

Experience with change management and driving AI adoption across large sales or commercial organizations — you understand that technology alone doesn’t drive outcomes; adoption does

Background in advertising technology, media, or high-growth B2B SaaS environments with complex commercial motions

Experience with workflow automation platforms that integrate with Salesforce and other enterprise systems (e.g., Workato, Tray.io, MuleSoft, or custom integrations)

Durability and grit — sometimes solutions take creative thinking, multiple iterations, and staging while dependencies solidify. You try many different approaches to find the right answer

Enthusiasm for the rapid evolution of AI capabilities and a desire to stay on top of emerging tools, frameworks, and best practices in AI-powered enterprise operations
