We’d love to hear from you if:
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 Manager, Media Investment you will focus on:
Client‑Centric
Lead Media Investment planning and execution for your accounts across TV, OTT/CTV, OLV, Audio, and Display; ensure plans align with client goals and full‑funnel strategies with clear trade‑offs, channel roles, pacing, and investment recommendations.
Co‑present investment recommendations and performance updates in client touchpoints alongside Senior Buyers/TVAD/Client Partners; explain marketplace conditions and partner performance in clear, business‑friendly language.
Identify opportunities for strategic expansion, optimization, and campaign growth, bringing pragmatic ideas and clear rationale to your leads and clients.
Product‑Led
Maintain strong hands‑on‑keys skills in relevant platforms (DSPs, research/planning tools, ad servers) and lead by example in how to set up, QA, and optimize buys.
Guide your team in using platform features and partner capabilities (e.g., premium inventory, audience/data tools, packaging options, automation) safely and effectively; help structure small, low‑risk tests.
Assist in evaluating new partner offerings and opportunities; summarize pros/cons and suitability for your accounts; support Senior Managers and Directors in deciding what to test or adopt.
Data & Measurement‑Driven
Review campaign performance data (spend, delivery, reach, CAC/ROAS, quality metrics such as viewability/IVT) regularly; help your team turn data into clear “what’s happening” and “what we should consider doing” statements.
Work with TVAD and Analytics/Econometrics to apply basic incrementality/lift learnings and MMM pointers in your investment decisions; understand when to lean in, hold steady, or pull back.
Own and oversee QA and delivery hygiene on your accounts: make sure your team catches and addresses under‑delivery, tagging/trafficking errors, quality issues, and contract compliance, and that fixes are documented.
The Tinuiti Way
Apply Tinuiti’s buying, negotiation, and stewardship playbooks; ensure your team follows standards for brand safety/verification, viewability/IVT, frequency/overlap, and QA.
Serve as a go‑to resource in at least one area of the TV/audio/display landscape; help your team understand how marketplace changes (formats, pricing, data, quality) impact your accounts and decisions.
Keep yourself and your team current on media trends through publisher meetings and independent research; share meaningful updates and opportunities with internal partners.
Owner Mindset
Love Growth: Support and sometimes lead the design of growth plays (inventory upgrades, new partner packages, data audiences) within your accounts; help define what success looks like and how your team will run and read the test.
Hate Waste: Challenge and improve economics (rates, added value, guarantees) and quality on your accounts; ensure your team isn’t repeating the same issues and that basic processes (orders, QA checklists) are followed.
