Financial Planning & Analysis Associate Manager, Revenue & Take Rate
About the role
The Trade Desk is seeking an experienced FP&A Manager to lead revenue and take rate finance for a core area of our business. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that combines deep analytical ownership with strategic influence.
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end revenue and take rate modeling: develop and maintain the authoritative financial model for platform revenue, covering pricing structure, volume dynamics, product mix, and client segmentation.
Become the internal expert on product economics — deeply understand how platform features, auction mechanics, pricing decisions, and client behavior affect take rate and revenue outcomes.
Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue planning cycle: drive forecast submissions, prepare variance commentary, and present results to senior finance and business leadership.
Serve as the primary finance partner to product, commercial, and data teams on all things revenue — including new product launches, pricing changes, and commercial agreements.
Design and build financial models for new products and strategic pricing initiatives; quantify expected revenue impact across scenarios and present recommendations to leadership.
Produce executive-quality deliverables: own the revenue narrative in board presentations, QBRs, investor materials, and CFO briefings.
Lead and execute special projects across the finance agenda — from strategic deep-dives and competitive analysis to cross-functional initiatives and operational improvements.
Mentor and develop junior FP&A team members; provide guidance on modeling best practices, stakeholder communication, and analytical frameworks.
Requirements
6+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or management consulting.
Proven track record of owning complex revenue models and delivering accurate, insightful forecasts in a fast-moving environment.
Strong ability — and genuine interest — in understanding how products and platforms work commercially, and turning that understanding into rigorous financial analysis.
Experience driving exec-facing deliverables: you are comfortable owning a narrative, structuring a story, and presenting to C-suite and board-level audiences.
Advanced Excel/Sheets modeling skills; proficiency in SQL strongly preferred; experience with BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Mode, etc.).
Exceptional communication skills — you translate complexity into clarity and influence decisions at the highest levels of the organization.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or a related quantitative field; MBA or CFA a plus.
Skills
Experience in adtech, programmatic advertising, marketplace, or other platform businesses where take rate is a core revenue metric.
Prior experience building revenue models for new product or pricing launches from the ground up.
Familiarity with gross vs. net revenue accounting, partner economics, or auction-based pricing frameworks.
Benefits
Comprehensive healthcare (medical, dental, and vision) with premiums paid in full for employees and dependents.
Retirement benefits such as a 401k plan and company match.
Short and long-term disability coverage.
Basic life insurance.
Well-being benefits.
