Company mission
To transform media for the benefit of humankind by helping brands deliver a more insightful and relevant ad experience for consumers — and setting a new standard for global reach, accuracy, and transparency.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of relevant design experience
- Bachelors’ Degree in a design or design related discipline or equivalent experience
- Established track record of being an effective and creative problem solver
- A professional portfolio demonstrating a solid background in UX visual design (Portfolio required for consideration)
- Expert-level knowledge of industry standard design tools (Sketch, Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, etc.)
What the job involves
- You will help create and implement a solid UX Visual Design vision for the Trade Desk platform. This vision should be actionable, backed by research, and compelling enough to make the product roadmap
- You can effectively translate brand guidelines into a design system, from colors, to typography to iconography
- You have experience visualizing data, designing beautiful and interactive visuals that surface insights easily understood by users
- You have experience building data dashboards that tell compelling data stories while providing valuable and actionable insights
- You can bridge the gap between Trade Desk marketing design teams and the Trade Desk product design teams through collaboration and transparency. You’ll need to understand our branding direction and hold the platform to our premium branding standards
- You will create, manage, and maintain a design style guide and help to make sure styles are implemented correctly across our design teams through design libraries and throughout the platform with our reusable component system
- You are experienced with UX/UI design and the interplay with UX visuals and can create a visual design system that maps to complex UIs (e.g., button states, alerts and notifications, empty states)
- You can quickly and thoroughly create wireframes and high-fidelity mockups and prototypes. You see visuals as more than a ‘skin’ … you are an expert at layout composition, creating multiple different explorations to delight users
- You can effectively collaborate with engineers, product managers, researchers, and business stakeholders, remotely and in person
- You understand how design impacts development and vice versa. Your designs should be feasible to implement, and you’ll make sure they’re implemented accurately. You also know when to push for change as needed to enable your visuals
- You are comfortable working with product managers to proactively identify areas of the product that need improvement and to push product managers to see beyond incremental features
- You are comfortable explaining your work and research findings to anyone, including executives
- You are a passionate advocate for the user but know when to look beyond their requests to discover the true problem
- You help other designers grow by providing feedback and guidance, teaching them new skills, inspiring them to reach career goals, and helping them to prioritize, plan, and deliver designs on time
- As a lifelong learner, you keep up with technology and design trends, striving for our platform to be modern and innovative
Our take
Effective advertising in the digital age is almost impossible without the use of data to drive targeting, with first-party data commonly being used for such purposes. However, making use of such data can be difficult without the right analytic tools, and executing advertisement campaigns that make use of it can be even more challenging.
The Trade Desk provides a demand-side marketplace for building digital media campaigns, allowing businesses to plan and buy digital media, harness the power of their data, and customize publishing through APIs. The marketplace partners with over 225 data, inventory, brand safety, and publisher businesses to provide its services, whilst offering expert digital marketing advice and an e-learning platform called Edge Academy.
Whilst other advertisement marketplaces are available to businesses, The Trade Desk stands out with its approach of not only providing companies with the business partnerships they need but also advising and educating them on how to utilize them effectively. Its latest offering, Galileo, enables advertisers to onboard and activate their first-party data quickly and easily, bringing direct integrations with CRM, CDP and clean room providers, including Adobe, Amazon Web Services, Habu, InfoSum, LiveRamp, Salesforce and Snowflake.
