After graduating from college, Tarses became an assistant to the talent executive on the 1985–1986 season of Saturday Night Live. She then worked as a casting director for Lorimar Productions, filling roles for mid-run Perfect Strangers.
In September 1987, Tarses was hired by NBC Productions' Brandon Tartikoff as the manager of creative affairs. She climbed the corporate ladder at NBC until 1996. Here, she helped develop Friends, Mad About You, Frasier, NewsRadio, and Caroline in the City. In 1991, she passed on her father's pilot about jazz musicians, called Baltimore.
Tarses left NBC in 1996 amidst a significant amount of press coverage. From 1996 to 1999, she was president of ABC Entertainment. She resigned in August 1999 with two years remaining on her contract. At the time of her departure she had one sitcom, one comedy, and one legal drama on ABC's schedule.
Tarses was the subject of what Bill Carter of The New York Times called an "unflattering profile" written by Lynn Hirschberg in The New York Times Magazine in July 1997, in which she "was portrayed as an embattled executive whose competence and professionalism was being questioned in Hollywood show business circles".
Amanda Peet, who played Jordan McDeere, the head of fictional network NBS on the NBC show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, said her character "is loosely based" on Tarses. Tarses was a consultant for Studio 60.
While at ABC, she helped develop and greenlight Dharma & Greg.
In 2005, Tarses partnered on a production company called Pariah Productions with producer Gavin Polone. Later, she had a company called FanFare Productions at Sony Pictures Television.
Tarses was co-producer of My Boys, a comedy about a female sports reporter starring Jordana Spiro, on TBS cable television network from November 28, 2006, until September 14, 2010. In 2010, she produced several television series, including Mr. Sunshine, Happy Endings, and Franklin & Bash.
