Description

The Trade Desk is a global technology company and the world’s leading independent platform for digital advertising, with nearly 4,000 employees across more than 30 offices. Our technology helps advertisers reach the right audiences across the open internet — from streaming TV and podcasts to mobile apps, news, and more. 

Advertising powers the content people love. By making it more transparent, effective, and responsible, we help support trusted journalism, quality entertainment, and creators worldwide. The world’s brands and agencies rely on us to reach their customers and grow their businesses responsibly.

The scale of our platform brings unique technical challenges — from processing massive datasets in real time to building systems that operate reliably on a global scale. When you work here, your impact is worldwide. We welcome diverse perspectives, encourage curiosity, and build teams that learn from one another. If you’re driven to solve meaningful challenges, we’d love to meet you.

As a Trading Analyst in Tokyo, you won't just manage campaigns — you'll be the strategic intelligence layer between data and decisions, helping Japan's leading brands and agencies unlock the full potential of data-driven media. If you're fluent in both numbers and narratives, and you want your work to matter at scale, this is your role.


What you'll do:

  • Master The Trade Desk platform and become the go-to-expert on campaign management best practices
  • Drive client growth by owning optimization strategies for your assigned portfolio — translating complex data signals into actions that directly grow your clients' business
  • Combine data analysis and client feedback to create optimization strategies and provide the most effective solutions for campaigns
  • Partner cross-functionally with Account Management and Business Development to provide support to clients, including onboarding and optimization training
  • Be the strategic voice that proactively advises clients and internal teams using data-driven insights from trading optimizations
  • Shape the product by collaborating with Product Management to define features and drive platform enhancements
  • Champion The Trade Desk's value proposition, technology, and partnerships to deepen client relationships and grow accounts

Who you are: 

  • 3-5 years of working experience in a data-driven role (programmatic, analytics, ad operations or similar)
  • Bilingual fluency in Japanese & English — you'll work across languages daily with clients and internal teams
  • Excellent client facing & management experience
  • Outstanding troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving abilities, along with an ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to look for opportunities for improvements and changes
  • Strong story-telling skills
  • Advanced MS Excel / data visualization skills
  • Strong quantitative skills and the ability to draw insights from extremely large datasets
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building new approaches in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
  • Additional experience with SQL, R, Tableau or Python is a plus

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, The Trade Desk is committed to creating an inclusive hiring experience where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
