  • Retail media video: buy retailer-powered CTV to tie national reach to store sales.
  • Audio: plan streaming audio and podcast, including compliant host-reads.
  • Measurement: run brand lift and geo tests, and hold every seller to the same measurement standard so results are comparable across platforms.

Requirements:
  • Experience: 7+ years buying CTV, linear TV, or broadcast, in-house or agency.
  • Platforms: hands-on with one major DSP.
  • Fundamentals: strong grasp of GRPs, reach and frequency, and rate negotiation.
  • Analytics: advanced Excel or Sheets for flighting, pacing, and reconciliation.
  • Category: CPG experience, ideally vitamins and supplements, OTC, food, or personal care.

Nice to Have:
  • Local markets: regional and spot buying in addition to national.
  • Shoppable CTV: interactive and commerce-enabled video formats.
  • Audio compliance: host-read clearance in regulated categories.
