• Own budgets, timelines, and KPIs, ensuring all initiatives meet client expectations and TruStar quality standards.
• Partner with internal and external experts (creative, analytics, web, digital, media) to plan and execute full-funnel campaigns.
• Proactively develop and present strategies and insights that drive lead generation, conversion, and ROI, and communicate recommendations clearly and confidently.
• Build strong, trusted client relationships through active listening, responsive service, and results-focused counsel.

Additional responsibilities

• Help create sales materials (presentations, proposals, scopes, timelines) and drive 15–20% annual revenue growth on your accounts while maintaining strong client retention.

This requires

• Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years in similar roles in an agency or similar environment managing multiple clients, campaigns, budgets, and deliverables across digital and media channels.
• Proven track record of translating marketing strategy into measurable business growth and ROI, with bonuses and/or performance historically tied to client results.
• Deep, hands‑on understanding of modern digital marketing (SEO/AEO, paid search, social, display/programmatic), including how AI‑driven platforms and traditional media work together.
• Ability to work directly in key platforms (e.g., Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, HubSpot/CRM, analytics tools) to assess performance, troubleshoot issues, and optimize campaigns.
• Fluency with analytics and reporting tools (e.g., GA4, Looker Studio) and CRM/marketing automation (e.g., HubSpot) for lead tracking, workflows, and pipeline visibility.
• Familiarity with CMS platforms (e.g., templated WordPress) and tools like Canva, with a strong aptitude and desire to quickly learn new technologies.
• Comfort supporting sales conversations, developing proposals, and turning strategies into compelling presentations, scopes of work, and timelines.
• Highly organized, process‑driven project manager known for clear communication, follow‑through, and effective management of leads, opportunities, and deadlines.
