About this role

The Opportunity

As an expansion hire, this Senior Marketing Strategy Director role sits directly at the intersection of B2B demand generation, digital advertising strategy, and high-level client advisory. Introduced during the sales process alongside the AE, you will act as the single point of contact and ultimate post-sale owner for high-value B2B clients—guiding their board-level growth strategies, navigating their transition to automated performance platforms, and connecting advertising performance directly to revenue. This role offers the creative, consultative freedom of a top-tier B2B marketing agency lead without the manual campaign execution or commercial burden of finding new clients.
