Job description

Associate AEO Marketing Director (Associate Account Director)

Foundation is an AI visibility marketing agency that drives pipeline growth for mid-market and enterprise B2B tech and SaaS companies. We help our clients generate pipeline through content engineered to distribute across LLMs, search, social, communities like Reddit, and every channel their buyers actually use.

Mission of the Role

You own a book of $0.75–1.5M across four to seven mid-market clients: the relationship, the renewal, the growth and the margin. You work with the Group AEO Marketing Director to set each client’s strategic direction and then you build the account plan to support it. You’re the person each client’s marketing leader calls first.

This is the role AEO Marketing Directors grow from. As your book grows past $1.5M, or you take on larger relationships, the path is to AEO Marketing Director. On our enterprise accounts, AEO Marketing Directors own the client relationship, the strategic roadmap and the account’s growth. AEO Program Directors lead the dedicated team that delivers the work, and work with the client every week alongside you.

Reports to: a Group AEO Marketing Director.

What you'll own

• Renewals, started 90+ days before contract end.
• Expansion. You bring priced ideas for more scope or a new channel.
• Margin and scope. You know the revenue, hours and margin on every client, and you price changes rather than absorbing them.
• Client health and CRM accuracy. You keep contract dates, forecast and deal stages current.

What you bring

• Renewals and expansions you personally closed.
• Experience managing client budgets, hours and scope.

• Compensation: Base salary $88k–$110k depending on experience and location
