About the Role

VenturaOS is The Trade Desk's smart TV operating system, built from the ground up to transform how users discover, experience, and interact with content on the biggest screen in the home. As VenturaOS scales across partners and households, understanding what to measure, how to measure it, and how to act on it is essential to shaping the platform's future.

  • Grow, lead and mentor a team of product analysts while continuing to contribute individually - this is a player-coach role
  • Design and guide product experimentation strategy, partnering with data science and engineering to scale experimentation infrastructure
  • Establish clear measurement plans for new product features and capabilities - including navigation, personalization, search, and discovery
  • Translate complex data findings into actionable insights and compelling narratives for executive-level decision-making
  • Champion data quality and standardization across the platform to enable trusted, scalable analytics

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in product analytics, data science, or a related quantitative role
  • 3+ years of team leadership experience; ideally in startup or high-growth environment
  • Experience with consumer-facing platforms, ideally in TV, mobile, OS, or media-tech domains
  • Proven ability to operate at multiple altitudes - from executive strategy to detailed dashboard specs and model validation
  • Expertise in experimentation design, statistical analysis, and metric development
  • Fluency in SQL and experience with tools such as Looker, dbt, Snowflake, Amplitude, or similar
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to align diverse stakeholders around insights and outcomes
  • Passion for building data-driven products that reach millions of users

Nice to Have

  • Experience in high-growth startup environments
  • Experience with content discovery, personalization, or search features
  • Familiarity with data science collaboration and experimentation infrastructure

Qualifications
