Job Summary

You will own and drive client growth strategy, diagnose leverage across funnels and channels, maintain senior client relationships, grow the book of business, and oversee execution with a Growth Engineer.

  • Own growth strategy across engagements
  • Diagnose levers and channel mix
  • Manage senior client relationships and expansion opportunities

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Strategy: Own each client’s growth strategy from onboarding through the full engagement, setting direction and keeping it moving forward.
  • Diagnosis: Diagnose each client’s growth levers, including funnel economics, positioning, channel mix, and what’s working creatively, to determine where the real leverage is.
  • The relationship: Client cadence, communication, and expectation-setting. You’re the senior voice they hear from throughout the engagement.
  • Account growth: Identify and drive expansion and upsell opportunities across your book of clients.
  • Execution oversight: Direct and review the work your Growth Engineer delivers (media buying, ad setup, campaign structure) without needing to run it yourself day-to-day.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise across the paid media umbrella, including account management, media buying strategy, budget/finance logic, and measurement. You should be able to direct and evaluate paid execution at an expert level.
  • A track record of owning client relationships at a senior level, being the person clients call when something matters.
  • Comfort operating with real autonomy in a book-ownership role.
  • 8+ years of growth and/or paid marketing experience.

Preferred

  • Working knowledge of growth marketing beyond paid, including SEO, AI search/visibility, lifecycle, and landing page/CRO, enough to talk shop and recognize when a client’s real constraint sits outside paid.
  • Who tends to thrive here: senior operators who’ve already done the high-stakes tour, whether that’s the VC-backed startup grind or the founder-of-your-own-agency chapter, and are looking for craft and ownership as the next chapter. You want real autonomy and a team that has your back.
