About the Role TV advertising has never had more data behind it. At Tatari, we've spent years developing proprietary technology and measurement tools that give brands a clearer picture of what's actually working on TV. Now we're looking for someone who can put that intelligence at the center of every media plan we bring to clients. As a Convergent TV Planner, Strategy & Insights, you'll play a central role in shaping media strategy across the full client lifecycle — from competitive RFPs and new business pitches to scaling plans for existing clients and forward-looking scenarios that show brands exactly where they can grow and how to get there. In every case, your work starts with the audience, the data, and the 'why' — and ends with a strategy that connects audience intelligence to measurable outcomes. What sets this role apart is how you'll work. You'll bring together audience intelligence, competitive insights, and AI-powered tools to build strategies that go beyond channel selection and the platform, data, and support to back those recommendations.
