• We are seeking a Senior Analyst, Commercial Intelligence and Analytics to lead high-impact analytical work supporting TTD’s cross-functional teams, with a focus on Sales and Client Services. This role sits at the intersection of commercial analytics, applied intelligence, and go-to-market execution. You will identify analytical opportunities and turn them into scalable deliverables and insight pipelines that support a broad set of internal stakeholders. Working across Commercial Operations, Revenue Operations, Business Technology, Finance, and related teams, you will help translate analysis into proactive signals that improve prioritization, decision-making, and field execution. This role leads analytics, decision support, and insight activation end to end, in partnership with engineering and systems teams responsible for core infrastructure. You will work closely with analytics engineering and technical partners to deliver clear, trusted, and actionable intelligence that improves seller focus, client outcomes, and the overall client experience at TTD.

What we do

Across these teams, we improve visibility, standardize key metrics, strengthen decision support, and help client-facing teams act with greater precision and consistency.

Within this organization, Commercial Intelligence and Analytics turns commercial, product, and client data into insight products that support internal teams and improve how TTD serves, grows, and retains clients. We build analytics, signal frameworks, and decision-support tools that help Sales and Client Services teams understand portfolio health, prioritize effort, identify risk and opportunity earlier, and engage clients more effectively. Our work spans descriptive and diagnostic analysis, scalable reporting, proactive insight delivery, AI-assisted workflows, and close partnership with technical teams that operationalize analytics into durable systems.

This includes identifying where better analytics can support internal teams, designing the logic and requirements for insight pipelines, partnering with engineering and systems teams to deploy scalable solutions, and ensuring the resulting outputs are trusted, understandable, and useful. Success in this role means not only producing strong analysis but also embedding it in repeatable workflows that create proactive signals for Sales, Client Services, and other internal teams.

• Help prioritize analytical opportunities that are scalable, actionable, and likely to drive broad commercial impact.

• Help embed analytical outputs into go-to-market systems so they reach users through the tools and workflows where decisions are made.

• Assess whether signals are reaching the right users, informing action, and improving outcomes.
