  • Think in Numbers : Analyze performance data, ask the right questions, and bring strategic insights.
  • Talk on Your Feet : Whether it’s presenting to a C-suite or fielding an unexpected question, you’re ready.
  • Drive Growth : Spot new opportunities, pitch great ideas, and get buy-in to execute.
  • Mentor & Manage : Be the lead on clients and coordinate resources for those clients.
  • Master the Details : Keep budgets, invoicing, forecasting, and documentation sharp and accurate.

Requirements

  • Agency veteran : 8+ years in a digital agency, leading client accounts across paid media.
  • Paid media fluency : You’ve managed campaigns in Google Ads, Meta, and other major platforms.
  • Platform savvy : In-platform experience with GA, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and dashboards is second nature.
  • Financial command : Comfortable owning budgets, forecasts, and client-level profitability.
  • Strategic chops : Proven success driving performance in highly regulated industries
  • Natural team leader : You’re comfortable leading a team with depth, heart and passion.
  • Presentation-ready : A confident communicator—written, visual, and verbal.
  • Deeply Analytical : You live in the numbers and make decisions that move the needle.
  • AI-native : You don’t just dabble—you apply AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, or Perplexity to work smarter and faster.
  • Detail-obsessed : You never let the small stuff slide and can juggle complex, high-volume accounts without blinking.
  • What’s in it for you?

  • High accountability, low ego environment
  • 100% remote work (Some flexibility on EST timezone)
