Summary
Develop audience-first convergent TV media strategies using data, AI tools, and proprietary measurement. Lead RFP responses, scaling plans, and forward-looking scenario planning for brands and agencies.
About the role
Media Strategy & Audience Intelligence
- Develop audience-first media strategies grounded in data, competitive insights, and marketplace intelligence
- Leverage Tatari's proprietary measurement tools alongside third-party audience platforms to identify where a client's target consumer actually watches, and build a media plan around that
- Use AI tools to surface audience insights, identify patterns across campaigns, and pressure-test strategic assumptions — treating AI as a thinking partner, not just a production tool
- Craft clear, compelling narratives that connect strategy to outcomes — giving clients a confident answer to the question "why this plan"
Planning & Proposal Development
- Lead RFP responses from brief intake to submission, managing timelines and coordinating inputs from various stakeholders
- Develop scaling plans for existing clients that show a clear path from where they are today to where they can grow, with the strategic rationale to back it up
- Create forward-looking scenario plans that help clients visualize their media investment potential across different budget levels and objectives
- Build pricing models, budget allocations, and investment recommendations that align with client KPIs and Tatari's measurement framework
- Translate complex media strategies into client-ready visuals and executive summaries
Innovation & Process
- Be an AI champion, incorporating AI tools into the planning workflow — identifying where automation and intelligence can raise the quality of output without sacrificing strategic rigor
- Create reusable pitch materials including one-pagers, case studies, vertical playbooks, and capability decks
- Contribute to building a repeatable, scalable planning system — maintaining RFP templates, response libraries, and best practice documentation for internal training
- Track proposal performance and win/loss patterns to continuously sharpen strategy and improve future submissions
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in media planning, strategic planning, or client strategy role within linear TV, streaming, or digital video

- A genuine curiosity about AI and how it can make media planning smarter — with hands-on experience or a demonstrated drive to build it
- Proven track record developing strategic media proposals and supporting new and existing business growth
- Experience working directly with brands, agencies, or advertisers in a client-facing capacity
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without losing strategic quality or missing deadlines
