The Role

We're looking for an Associate Director, Paid Social to provide hands-on strategic and tactical leadership across a portfolio of client accounts, with a strong focus on coaching and quality control for more junior team members' day-to-day work. This role is grounded in deep paid social expertise while contributing to Wpromote's evolution toward an integrated paid media team, where paid social strategy connects closely with paid search, creative, analytics, and programmatic to drive full-funnel outcomes for clients.

This role does not carry formal people-management responsibilities. Instead, you'll be the go-to resource junior team members turn to for account guidance, campaign audits, and executive-ready storytelling, ensuring quality and consistency across the accounts you support. You'll also help evolve paid social best practices, QA processes, and AI-enabled workflows that make the team faster, sharper, and more scalable.

Identifying critical client or account issues and escalating them to Directors or other leadership in a timely, solutions-oriented way

Assisting the sales team on audits, decks, and pitches for prospective clients
