Tatari is on a mission to revolutionize TV advertising. Founded in 2016 to help transform the antiquated world of TV advertising through the intelligent application of AI and machine learning, Tatari helps some of the world’s fastest growing brands including Chime, Calm, Tecovas, Manscaped, Saatva, and Liquid I.V., reach their customers using linear and streaming TV ads. Our platform combines sophisticated media buying with proprietary analytics to turn TV advertising into an automated, digital-like experience, enabling businesses of any size to advertise on TV.
That approach has earned Tatari broad industry recognition, including being named Best CTV AdTech Platform in the 8th annual MarTech Breakthrough Awards, as well as honors from Digiday (Best Connected TV Platform), AdExchanger (Most Innovative TV Advertising Technology), and Business Insider (Hottest AdTech Companies). Tatari has also been recognized as the Best Place to Work by Inc. Magazine. Backed by an executive team of former founders and senior leaders from companies including Shazam, TrueCar, AdapTV, LiveRail, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Yahoo, Tatari continues to scale rapidly as TV advertising enters its next major era.
Tatari is growing, and we're looking for a Senior Media Manager to join the team to support our Enterprise and Mid-Market accounts. In this role, you will use the knowledge and experience you’ve had at previous media or tech companies and leverage the latest technology and measurement utilized at Tatari to plan, buy and optimize our clients’ streaming and linear TV campaigns.
This role is a hands-on, in-platform media buying role where you’ll plan, buy, optimize, and manage campaigns day to day across multiple clients. On the Enterprise side, you’ll partner with large, established brands that run sophisticated, full-funnel marketing strategies and treat TV as a core part of their media mix, driving continued growth through scaled, performance-focused advertising. On the Mid-Market side, you’ll manage and scale mid-sized brands that are new to TV or looking to expand their linear and streaming efforts. These clients focus on lower-funnel KPIs while increasingly investing in upper-funnel brand building, and they often start with weekly remnant and ROS buying while setting their sights on sports, sponsorships, premium inventory, and upfront deals over the long term.
