FP&A Associate Manager, Product Finance

About the role

The Trade Desk is seeking an experienced FP&A Associate 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.
• High accountability, ownership mindset, and the ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous situations.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or a related quantitative field; MBA or CFA a plus.

Nice to Have

• 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.
