Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you qualify, but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch.
As a TV, Video, Audio & Display (TVAD) Specialist, you will help build, launch, manage, and improve media campaigns across TV, audio, and display (CTV/OTT, online video, digital audio/podcasts, programmatic display). You will ensure campaigns run smoothly, efficiently, and in line with Tinuiti's standards to drive new customer and revenue growth while keeping efficiency on track. You'll support senior buyers and strategists on day-to-day execution, campaign QA, pacing, and reporting, acting as a key point of contact for internal teams (Client Leadership, cross-channel Pod teams like Search, Social, and Commerce) and external partners to keep campaign execution seamlessly on track. You will use your growing knowledge of the media marketplace and tools to turn performance data into clear, action-oriented next steps, surface issues early, and implement thoughtful optimizations.
Key responsibilities
Support the execution and setup of media buying plans across TV, audio, and display, ensuring campaigns align with briefs and client goals.

Apply Tinuiti playbooks, standard SOPs, checklists, and templates for buying, negotiation support, setup, QA, and delivery checks to meet our quality bars (frequency, viewability/IVT, brand safety).
Maintain exceptionally high standards for brand safety/verification, frequency/overlap control, and compliance across all campaigns.
Build skill set around audience selection, placement/inventory quality, creative rotations, and ad formats; actively seek and apply feedback to show continuous day-to-day improvement.
Stay current on TV, video, audio, and display trends, as well as cross-channel connections (Search, Social, Commerce, Creative) through partner meetings and independent research; share learnings to inform recommendations.
Promptly escalate any campaign deviations, capture outcomes in standard readout formats, and share feedback through existing channels.

Pull and QA data to build accurate recurring reports and analyses, translating metrics into clear, actionable internal updates.
Run A/B tests with clear hypotheses and concise readouts.
