Job summary

Power Digital Marketing is seeking an experienced Growth Leader to manage a portfolio of 8–12 Core accounts, driving AI-powered growth strategies for early‑stage and scaling consumer brands. You’ll own senior client relationships, build measurement baselines, and coordinate cross‑functional teams to deliver measurable results.

The role requires 6+ years in marketing, a founder‑led business mindset, and strong prioritization.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in marketing, with meaningful experience working with early‑stage or scaling consumer brands.
• Has worked with founder‑led businesses and understands the dynamic — decisions move fast, emotions run high, strategy and execution blur together.
• Comfortable building from scratch: no brand guidelines, no historical data, no benchmark — and still making good decisions.
• Understands crowdfunding‑to‑DTC transitions and what changes when a brand moves from Kickstarter momentum to sustainable acquisition.
• Strong prioritization instincts — knows which problems to solve first and which to defer.
• Comfortable with scrappy media mixes and knows how to get signal out of small budgets.
• Track record of retaining and growing accounts, including accounts that went through rough patches.

Responsibilities

• Employ AI technologies to enhance and optimize business processes
• Utilize and leverage Power Digital's Nova ecosystem as it relates to your department
• Run quarterly Power Circuit reviews — diagnose growth constraints across Business, Audience, Product, Messaging, Channels, and Measurement; build a prioritized roadmap that accounts for what the client can actually execute with their current resources
• Own the senior client relationship, which often means the founder directly; QBRs should feel like a board‑ready business update, not a marketing recap
• Help clients build measurement infrastructure from scratch when it doesn't exist, establish baselines before optimizing against them
• Coordinate paid, SEO, content, email, and creative work around a focused account strategy; scope management is part of the job
• Identify expansion opportunities that fit the client's stage, don't oversell services a brand isn't ready for
• Manage retention and expansion; lead renewals; grow MRR
• Build multi‑threaded relationships with multiple layers of client contacts so no single point of contact departure puts an account at risk
• Ensure daily use of our proprietary technology (Iris and nova), Pulse (client performance and sentiment tool) cadence at 100%, and Power Circuit (our proprietary diagnostic system) compliance across managed ADs
• Manage and develop 1–2 direct reports — run regular 1:1s, build development plans, and own their performance reviews
• Coach analysts and specialists; many will be working with startups for the first time
