  • Lead executive-ready conversations, negotiations, escalations, and business reviews.
What we’re looking for

  • A track record of creating revenue growth, quality pipeline, and measurable change within complex accounts.
  • Strong experience managing both agency and direct client relationships.
  • Executive presence and the ability to influence stakeholders from junior practitioners through C-suite leaders.
  • Strong understanding of full-funnel digital advertising, media strategy, and measurement.
  • Demonstrated ability to move quickly, operate with ambiguity, and make sound decisions with incomplete or conflicting information.
  • Excellent strategic storytelling, commercial judgment, negotiation, and cross-functional leadership skills.
  • A collaborative, growth-oriented approach and the ability to use AI to accelerate preparation, analysis, and follow-through while maintaining accuracy and ownership of outcomes.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field such as Marketing, or equivalent experience.
