Account Manager (Performance Marketing)

Employment Type: Full time, independent contractor
Work Model: Remote
Work Hours: US work hours

About the position: We are hiring an experienced Account Manager / Marketing Manager hybrid to own the day-to-day execution across a portfolio of digital marketing clients.

This is not a traditional Account Manager role where responsibilities are limited to client communication. Instead, this person will sit at the center of each account—coordinating internal teams, driving deliverables, monitoring campaign performance, communicating with clients, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

The founders will continue leading high-level strategy and business development, while this individual becomes the operational engine behind successful client delivery.

The ideal candidate has previously worked inside a digital marketing or performance marketing agency and understands how to independently move client accounts forward without constant direction.

What you'll own: You will become the primary day-to-day owner for approximately 5 client accounts, ensuring every project moves efficiently from strategy through execution.

Client Success & Account Management

Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for assigned clients
Build trusted client relationships through proactive communication
Attend client meetings alongside company leadership
Lead follow-up communication and ensure action items are completed
Keep projects organized and moving forward
Identify potential issues before they become problems
Bring solutions—not just problems—to leadership

Performance Marketing Support: You'll need to be comfortable working inside modern marketing platforms, including:

Google Ads
Meta Ads
Shopify

You are not expected to be the primary media buyer, but you should be comfortable:

Reviewing campaign performance
Understanding key metrics
Identifying trends
Pulling insights
Helping leadership make informed strategic decisions

You should understand how successful performance marketing campaigns operate and be capable of discussing campaign performance confidently with clients.

Project & Delivery Management

Coordinate work across designers and creative specialists
Write clear creative briefs
Ensure deliverables are completed on schedule
Keep campaigns launching on time
Drive accountability internally
Prioritize multiple projects simultaneously
Maintain exceptional organization across all client work

Strategic Execution

While the founders remain responsible for overarching account strategy, you'll be expected to:

Think critically
Make informed recommendations
Identify optimization opportunities
Solve problems independently
Improve internal processes wherever possible

This role requires someone who naturally takes ownership rather than waiting for instructions.

Ideal Background

We're looking for someone who has experience working in a performance marketing agency or digital marketing environment where they've managed multiple client relationships simultaneously.

Ideal experience includes:

3–6+ years in Account Management, Marketing Management, or Client Success
Agency experience is strongly preferred
Experience managing multiple clients simultaneously
Strong understanding of paid media
Familiarity with Google Ads, Meta Ads, and Shopify
Experience coordinating designers and creative teams
Excellent written communication skills
Strong project management abilities
Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and business owners

Who Will Thrive Here

The right person is:

Highly proactive
Exceptionally organized
Naturally curious
Comfortable making decisions
Able to prioritize without constant supervision
Calm under pressure
Client-focused
Detail-oriented
Resourceful
Commercially minded

This is not a role for someone who requires detailed SOPs for every task. The founders are looking for someone who enjoys figuring things out, taking ownership, and moving work forward independently.
