What we do:

The FP&A Sales Finance team is a critical partner to The Trade Desk’s EMEA commercial organisation, driving sustainable growth through data-driven financial insight, revenue forecasting, and commercial decision support. EMEA spans 15+ markets – including the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and the Nordics – each with distinct market dynamics, programmatic maturity, and growth profiles. 

As EMEA scales and the complexity of commercial operations grows, the team is building the analytical infrastructure and business partnership model to support the next phase of growth. We are seeking a Manager, Sales Finance EMEA to serve as a strategic financial partner to EMEA sales and commercial leadership: someone who can move fluidly from a VP-level strategy conversation in the morning to building the analytical model or presentation that supports it in the afternoon. Being able to navigate ambiguity will be critical, we are building, advising, and doing all in one. 

What you'll do:

• Act as a trusted finance business partner to EMEA sales and commercial leadership; providing clear, data-backed recommendations on revenue performance, growth opportunities, and resource allocation.
• Support and maintain EMEA revenue forecasting: working alongside quantitative projection models, adding commercial context, identifying risks and opportunities, and communicating outcomes to leadership.
• Build and manage analytical frameworks for the EMEA P&L: take-rate monitoring, contra management, OPEX tracking, and headcount planning.
• Lead the development of executive-level materials: weekly revenue commentary, quarterly business reviews, and exec-ready presentations, that translate complex financial dynamics into clear narratives.
• Partner with Business Strategy & Activation, BI, Systems Engineering, and Data teams to improve reporting infrastructure, ensure data integrity, and build scalable, repeatable analytical processes.
• Connect and manipulate large datasets across multiple sources (Snowflake, parquet, Excel) to surface insights that wouldn’t be visible from standard reporting.
• Support GTM initiatives and strategic commercial decisions with rigorous financial modelling and scenario analysis
• Operate across the full spectrum: strategic sounding board for senior leaders, analytical builder, and hands-on executor – often in the same week. 

Who you are: 

Core requirements 

• 6-7+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or a related analytical and strategic discipline.
• A strategic thinker: able to step back, identify the real question, and frame a problem clearly before executing on it.
• A relationship builder: earns trust with senior stakeholders through rigour and reliability, not just seniority. Comfortable in a room with EMEA VPs on Monday and building the slides that underpin the conversation on Tuesday.
• Engineer-minded: understands how data is structured, how to join datasets, how to build analytical pipelines. Not necessarily a software engineer, but comfortable with or learning to run Python, querying SQL, and being able to figure out / self-serve to get or create the data to answer the question or build the analysis.
• Finance and FP&A grounding: solid understanding of revenue planning, cost drivers, and ROI frameworks. Able to construct and interrogate a financial model, not just populate one.
• Comfortable with ambiguity: thrives in environments where the brief isn’t always fully formed, the data isn’t always clean, but the answer needs to be reasoned from first principles.
• No ego: equally at home in strategic advisory mode and execution mode. Able to listen and synthesise in a senior meeting, then operationalise the output without needing to be asked twice.
• A framework thinker who also executes: the role is not about generating ideas – it is about building systems, maintaining them, and improving them over time.
• Exceptional communication: translates financial and quantitative complexity into language that commercial leaders can act on.
• Has fun with work. 

Nice to have 

• Experience in advertising technology, programmatic, or adjacent data-driven industries.
• Experience in high-growth technology companies.
• Familiarity with the programmatic advertising ecosystem and agency/advertiser dynamics.

What we do  

Our Lead Staff Software Engineers are end-to-end owners who will participate in all aspects of designing, building, and delivering data-focused products for our stakeholders.  

At The Trade Desk we believe that each opportunity to engage with all internal and external stakeholders, is unique. This means you will have the opportunity, based on your interests and background, to work on large-scale distributed systems coordinating thousands of servers in cloud and physical data centers around the world, petabyte-scale data challenges, machine learning, advanced visualizations, and interactive user interfaces – to name a few.  

Our system performs all day, every day serving global traffic. It’s important we focus on quality at scale in an agile environment that is based on collaboration, ownership, and trust. Our software engineering teams fully own their charter to work on long term roadmaps while enhancing existing features or tools and continuously gaining efficiency.  

What you’ll do: 

It’s the best of both worlds. You will get a chance to exercise your technical leadership as well as building up your people management and leadership skills. Some of the work that you will be doing to help us deliver on our mission is: 

Technical leadership 

• Active reviewer of design and code reviews  
• Deliver meaningful technical and hands on contributions toward the team's objectives  
• Understand strategic business priorities and communicate with the team on how their work fits into the whole. 

Own project level processes and execution  

• Collaborate with the PM (product management) team to develop the roadmap and MVP plans  
• Develop execution plans (resources, milestones, and timelines) for the roadmaps  
• Continuously analyze and optimize team efficiency  
• Establish and deliver on team commitments  
• Measure and maintain/improve the quality of the team's contributions

We are a global team with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. To complement this team, you will welcome ideas that are different from your own and be well-versed in building from common ground to value, seek out, and foster invisible and visible dimensions of diversity. 

• You have a sustained track record of leading engineers with a wide range of experience, while also making significant, self-directed, and end-to-end contributions to large and impactful software projects. You think beyond just the task at hand to deeply understand the 'why' behind what you & your team are doing.
• You are a driver. You will be driving technical projects and providing leadership in a ground-breaking and fast-paced environment. This includes task planning and conducting code reviews, as well as individual code contribution.
• You understand engineering fundamentals. At our scale, many off-the-shelf techniques and existing technologies (open source and enterprise) simply don't work. You are able to work from first principles to evaluate solutions and adapt them to a unique environment.
• Develop with a variety of platforms and technologies, such Docker, Kubernetes, Gitlab, AWS, Azure, .NET Core, SQL Server, Authenticate and authorization, and micro services architecture
• Commercial development skills in OO programming (C#, Java or C++) and design
• Cloud-based platform experience (AWS, Azure or Aliyun)
• Excellent understanding of Agile development methodology and development practices
• Understanding of designing web-based, service-oriented applications and integrated back-office systems
• Experience in distributed source control system (such as Git)
• You work with confidence and without ego. Our engineers have deep knowledge and exercise a high degree of leadership in their daily work. You have strongly-held, defensible ideas, and advocate for what you believe is right. You are also adept at identifying and evaluating trade-offs, willing to be proven wrong, and quick to walk through fire to support your fellow teammates.
• You value, seek out, and foster diversity. We are a global team from many diverse backgrounds, with different experiences and perspectives. To complement this team, you will welcome ideas that are different from your own and be skilled at finding and building from common ground.
• You are a creative thinker, not bound by "the way things have always been done". What you know is less important than how well you learn and innovate. We don't need engineers who know all the answers; we need engineers who can invent the answers no one has thought of yet, to the questions yet to be asked.

A variety of technical opportunities is one of the best things about working at The Trade Desk as a software engineer, which is why we do not expect you to know every technology we use when you start. What we care about is that you can learn quickly and find solutions to complex problems using the optimum tools for the job. What you know is less important than how well you learn and innovate. We are not seeking engineers who know all the answers; we need engineers who can invent answers no one has thought of yet and find answers to the questions yet to be asked.
