Group Director

**We support 100% remote, in-office, or hybrid work styles for anyone legally eligible to work in the U.S.

A Day in the Life

The Group Director, fusepoint is the senior client relationship for fusepoint, Power Digital's Strategy and Measurement team. You manage your portfolio the way a fund manager runs a book: you know which accounts compound, which are at risk, and where to spend your time. You are the executive a client calls first, and the leader an Account Director never wants to let down. The roles you play day to day are portfolio retention and growth owner, measurement and strategy authority, talent multiplier, and AI systems thinker.

fusepoint's clients are mostly complex and/or omnichannel brands whose marketing has outgrown their ability to measure it. They come to us to answer what is actually incremental, where the next dollar should go, and how multiple revenue streams (DTC, Amazon, and retail) work together. Many have previously worked with measurement solutions and looking for a consultative partner, not just a dashboard. You understand that a measurement result is never just about media, as audience, creative, messaging, price, distribution, and promotion all affect outcomes.

You lead the Account Directors who guide cross-functional teams of internal and external media buyers, data scientists, marketing leads, around a single strategy for each client. You ensure that we translate Marketing Mix Models (MMM) and incrementality results into decisions that hold up to a CFO who wants to see P&L impact and business unit leaders who want to protect their budgets.

At Power, retention is the floor, not the job. You are commercially driven first: you personally own executive relationships and expansion revenue for the top of your portfolio, and you hold your team to the same standard. You coach Account Directors and their teams to operate as AI-Native Growth Directors, faster and less buried in manual work than the role has ever required. You help determine which AI tools and workflows the fusepoint client team adopts. You help shape fusepoint's go-to-market position, partner with Sales on consulting and measurement offers, serve as a thought partner to your VP and Head of Strategy, and represent Power Digital in the market.
