About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in a performance marketing agency, with experience rooted in performance, paid media, and measurable outcomes rather than primarily brand, creative, or ecommerce-only work.
  • Account leadership experience in a performance environment, either as a current Account Director at a performance marketing agency or after transitioning from marketing, paid media, analytics, or campaign management.
  • Fluency with Google Ads, including knowing what to investigate when performance shifts, lead volume drops, or conversion quality changes.
  • Understanding of how paid media, SEO, creative, data, customer relationship management, websites, conversion rate optimization, and analytics connect to drive outcomes.
  • Depth in paid media strategy, including how search and social channels work together and how to translate performance signals into strategy.
  • Experience managing client relationships, leading strategic conversations, and presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders.
  • Experience leading a focused client portfolio of roughly 3 to 8 accounts in depth rather than a high-volume roster.
  • Experience with clients spending at least $50,000 per month per client in media.
  • A business-first approach that considers revenue, pipeline, lead quality, conversion paths, customer journeys, and business outcomes in addition to campaign and platform metrics.
  • Willingness to take ownership by building dashboards, finding answers, resolving ambiguity, and stepping in when the team needs support.
  • Use tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude, and Perplexity to improve work; share prompts and process improvements; experiment regularly and refine workflows; and apply AI tools to improve speed, clarity, and creativity without replacing thoughtful work or judgment.

Responsibilities

  • Translate client business goals into multichannel marketing strategies that drive measurable growth.
  • Build client trust with clear communication, proactive thinking, and strategic recommendations.
  • Help clients understand how paid media, SEO, creative, data, customer relationship management, websites, conversion rate optimization, and reporting work together to improve performance.
  • Speak credibly about Google Ads, paid social, and media performance, including when not personally making every in-platform change.
  • Investigate performance trends and identify problems before they become client escalations.
  • Challenge client assumptions when needed in service of performance goals.
  • Lead a focused portfolio of accounts and understand each client's business, performance drivers, and risks.
  • Partner with media, SEO, creative, analytics, and strategy teams to keep work moving, priorities clear, and outcomes aligned.
  • Turn reporting, dashboards, and performance analysis into actionable client insights.
  • Maintain accurate budgets, forecasts, timelines, documentation, and communications.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with clients spending at least $100,000 per month in media is strongly preferred.
  • Experience in B2B, lead generation, or complex sales, including longer buying cycles, pipeline quality, sales alignment, or non-DTC conversion paths.
  • Fluency with Meta, LinkedIn, SEO, customer relationship management, conversion rate optimization, or other marketing channels.
  • Experience in financial services, healthcare, education, SaaS, or other considered-purchase industries.
  • Comfort with dashboards, reporting tools, Google Analytics, and data visualization.
  • Experience mentoring account team members or coordinating cross-functional delivery teams.
