The Trade Desk is transforming the way global brands connect with consumers through advertising. We believe the open internet creates better experiences for consumers, advertisers, publishers, and partners alike.
Now we're bringing that same philosophy to television.
VenturaOS is The Trade Desk's next-generation Connected TV operating system, built to create a more open, transparent, and consumer-first TV ecosystem.
Unlike companies building applications on top of someone else's platform, we're building the platform itself.
Success depends on building a world-class ecosystem spanning television manufacturers, hardware partners, retailers, and strategic technology partners who collectively bring Ventura-powered devices to market.
We're looking for an experienced partnerships leader to help build and scale that ecosystem.
This is a rare opportunity to shape the commercial foundation of a new operating system and influence how millions of consumers experience television for years to come.
As Director, Retail & Distribution Partnerships – VenturaOS, you will own the strategy, development, and execution of Ventura’s retail-led growth ecosystem. You’ll build and scale strategic relationships across consumer electronics retailers, big-box retailers, ecommerce marketplaces, regional retail chains, specialty electronics channels, retail media networks, OEMs, and hardware partners that help bring Ventura-powered devices to market.
This role sits at the intersection of retail distribution, device go-to-market, platform partnerships, retail media, and Connected TV monetization. Working closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Business Development, Sales, Operations, and Executive Leadership, you’ll help define how Ventura shows up in retail, how retail partners participate in platform economics, and how Ventura grows across the global television landscape.
This is a highly strategic leadership role where you’ll influence not only partnerships, but also launch strategy, channel activation, merchandising, retail media integration, and the long-term commercial success of the VenturaOS platform.
We’re interested in experienced partnership leaders who have built strategic relationships across retail, consumer electronics, platform distribution, and technology ecosystems. Strong candidates will bring deep experience in one or more of the following areas:

In your first 12–18 months, you’ll help:
VenturaOS represents one of the industry’s most ambitious Connected TV initiatives. Rather than building another application, we’re building an entirely new operating system and ecosystem.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape partnerships across the companies that manufacture televisions, sell devices, influence consumer purchase decisions, operate retail media networks, and bring products into households at scale. If you’re excited by retail-led platform growth, ecosystem building, commerce media, and helping shape the future of television, we’d love to talk.
