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

• 
  

  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

  
  


•

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

Project & Delivery Management

• 
  

  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.
