Job description

About the Role

We are looking for an AVP – Performance Delivery who will own the end-to-end execution of digital ad campaigns across platforms (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, etc.) for all performance marketing clients at Intent Farm. This is a delivery-first, business-ownership role – you will be accountable for driving results, margins, and process efficiency across the board.

You will lead a team of performance marketers, ensure high-quality campaign execution, optimize delivery SOPs, and align delivery goals with business outcomes like revenue retention, client satisfaction, team productivity, and profitability.

This is not a strategy-only or hands-off leadership role. We’re looking for someone hands-on, agency-seasoned, and obsessed with delivery excellence.

What You’ll Own

Delivery Leadership

• Be the delivery head for all ad clients – ensuring timely, high-quality execution of campaigns post onboarding.
• Drive revenue, gross margin, and delivery-linked business metrics.
• Ensure each account is health-tracked, adequately resourced, and SOP-aligned.

Performance & Operations

• Track performance across all ad accounts via dashboards and reviews.
• Intervene to troubleshoot underperforming campaigns or inefficient delivery structures.
• Audit campaigns, optimize structures, and roll out scalable best practices across the team.

Team Management

• Directly lead a team of 25+ Performance Marketers (Managers, Sr. Associates, Associates).
• Hire, train, and grow execution talent; define clear KRAs and review mechanisms.
• Build a feedback- and ownership-oriented culture – where execution excellence is celebrated.

Client & Cross-Function Alignment

• Liaise with Strategy, Sales, Creative, and Analytics teams for seamless execution.
• Ensure proper handoffs post-sale and that strategic vision translates into execution clarity.
• Be the escalation point for critical delivery-level client concerns.

Requirements • What We’re Looking For

• Must have agency experience (performance-focused) and understand the pace, chaos, and client management nuances.
• Strong command over Google Ads, Meta Ads, and campaign structures (Search, Display, PMax, Video, Retargeting, Lead Gen, etc.).
• Deep understanding of execution frameworks – from ad setup to bid strategy to audience refinement.
• Comfort with data tools like GA4, Looker Studio, Excel, and using them to drive decisions.
• Strong process builder – can create SOPs and streamline delivery across accounts.
• Track record of leading teams, conducting reviews, and improving performance consistency.
• Strategic, but loves operations – this is not a “growth marketer” role but a “delivery engine owner” role.

Benefits

• Work on real marketing challenges across 50+ ambitious brands, not fluffy playbooks.
• Deep involvement from founders who’ve built scaled marketing businesses from scratch.
• Autonomy to own your way of solving problems, with freedom to test and fail fast.
• A culture of honesty and sharpness, where peers have your back and performance is celebrated.
• Long-term growth pathway to business ownership and executive roles.
• We invest heavily in team learning – you’ll always be ahead of the curve.

Why You Shouldn’t Join Us

• If you want a cushy product-company role with minimal ops involvement.
• If you’re looking for only top-of-market salary (we offer fair + growth-linked comp, not inflated ones).
• If you’re uncomfortable with dynamic roles where you often have to step outside defined job boundaries.
• If you need 100% structured corporate environments – we are agile, flat, and often chaotic in pursuit of speed.
