Graphite is a technology-enabled growth agency that helps fast-growing companies like Masterclass, Notion, and BetterUp unlock sustainable revenue through content, SEO, AEO, and paid media.

We’re obsessed with impact: it’s foundational to who we are, why we’re successful, and how we approach delivering outcomes for clients and ultimately, everyone on the internet. We are a fully distributed company with team members located across North America, Latin America, and Europe.

We seek an experienced Growth Director (Paid Media) to lead paid growth strategies for high-growth tech companies. You will develop and execute full-funnel media, measurement, and creative strategies that drive business results for our partners, and build the paid team that delivers them.

• Own full-funnel media plans across search, social, video and CTV, programmatic, and ChatGPT Ads, including channel expansion and investment scenario planning.

• Design each client’s measurement plan: tracking, geo-holdout and in-platform lift tests, and MMM calibration. Decide what is incremental.

• Set creative strategy and the testing roadmap, turning research and test results into concepts and briefs.

• Run accounts AI-first: use AI workflows for audits, pacing, reporting, and optimization, and override them when they are wrong.

• Measurement: Has run lift tests end to end and acted on MMM readouts. Fluent in incrementality, attribution, KPI selection, and business economics.

• Creative Strategy: Has led creative strategy and testing programs, not only briefed them.

• AI Adoption: Uses LLMs daily and has built at least one AI workflow (audits, reporting, optimization, or creative) that saved the team real time.

• Data Analysis: Exceptional data analysis skills; comfortable in Looker, Sheets and storytelling.

• Leadership: Has managed and developed a team of paid marketers, with executive presence in front of VP and C-suite marketers.
