Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've managed paid social and search accounts hands-on in an agency and want to level up into strategy + team leadership
  • You obsess over ROAS, CAC, and creative performance—data informs every decision you make
  • You're comfortable being a primary client contact; you communicate clearly and set expectations that stick
  • You want to own a portfolio of accounts and build repeatable processes, not just execute one-off campaigns
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility—this is on-site only
  • You've never managed a team or mentored direct reports; they want someone ready to delegate and develop others day one
  • You're not hands-on with Meta, TikTok, Google Ads—this requires deep technical channel expertise, not just strategy
  • You're burned out on client communication; 30%+ of this role is calls, emails, and expectation setting
