TV
Dramaturg je pracovník zabývající se přípravnou uměleckou činností zvanou dramaturgie. Jedná se o literárního či hudebního odborníka, pracovníka v divadle, rozhlasu, televizi apod., který je pověřen výběrem a sestavováním repertoáru. Repertoár bývá dramaturgy sestavován často s velkým časovým předstihem leckdy i na mnoho let dopředu. Ve filmu se jedná o odpovědného pracovníka za literární přípravu filmu a sestavení dramaturgického plánu.
Slovník samozřejmě nabízí "dramaturgist", ale to mi připadá jako typická Czenglish

Script editor
"A script editor is a member of the production team of scripted television programmes, usually dramas and comedies. The script editor has many responsibilities including finding new script writers, developing storyline and series ideas with writers, ensuring that scripts are suitable for production. The script editor will work closely with the writer at each draft of their script, giving the writer feedback on the quality of their work, suggesting improvements that can be made whilst also ensuring that practical issues like show continuity and correct running time are adhered to. Unlike the writers, script editors will usually be full-time members of the production team, working closely with the producer."

artistic director
“The Artistic Director of a theatre company is the individual with the overarching artistic control of the theatre's production choices, directorial choices, and overall artistic vision.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_director
“The repertoire is selected by artistic director Michael Gurevitch”
http://embassies.gov.il/london/culture/IsraeliCulture/Theatr...
“Our repertoire is selected by our Artistic Director, D. Shawn Berry, and his staff. “
http://www.yspb.org/about-us
But as Elizabeth notes, more context may be needed (your quote is straight from Wikipedie)

I think Petr is looking for a word people can identify with and the link you have provided conveys the English speaker's bewilderment. There is probably some overlap (I don't think a "dramaturge" is responsible for the long-term vision).
