The Role

Remains hands-on in the platforms while establishing the standards, decision frameworks and operating practices used by the broader team.

The Main Responsibilities

• Set the enterprise approach for paid search, paid social and ABM media, and contribute media expertise to functional campaign, demand-generation and measurement strategy.

• Own the architecture and performance of a seven-figure annual media portfolio across Google Search, Display, YouTube and Performance Max, LinkedIn, Demandbase and other relevant channels.

• Integrate audiences, account targeting, message sequencing, frequency and budget allocation across platforms so channels operate as one coordinated system.

• Exercise independent judgment on pacing and reallocation across platforms, campaigns and tactics; balance short-term signals with downstream conversion evidence and document material investment decisions.

• Diagnose and resolve unique, high-complexity performance or measurement issues whose impact extends across campaigns, functions or business priorities.

• Anticipate changes in media platforms, auction dynamics, privacy, brand safety and regulation; assess business impact and recommend portfolio, process or capability improvements.

• Establish governance and best practices for account structure, taxonomy, audience and keyword hygiene, exclusions, frequency, quality controls and audit-ready documentation.

• Lead a disciplined experimentation roadmap across bidding, audiences, offers, creative, landing experiences and formats, including test design, holdouts, interpretation and scaled adoption of findings.

• Advise senior marketing stakeholders on media effectiveness, tradeoffs and investment scenarios by connecting platform performance to CRM, pipeline and revenue outcomes.

• Lead high-visibility, cross-functional initiatives with Creative, Marketing Operations, Field Marketing, Finance and Analytics to improve media effectiveness and measurement.

• Own strategic platform and vendor relationships, including platform-funded and co-op opportunities, and influence partner roadmaps and service levels.

What We Look For in a Candidate

• Bachelor’s degree in business, Marketing, or a related area.

• 8+ years of experience buying B2B paid media in-house or at an agency, with direct account ownership in Google Ads and LinkedIn Campaign Manager. Demandbase or comparable ABM platform experience also required.

• Demonstrated management of at least a seven-figure annual media budget, with personal responsibility for pacing and reallocation decisions

• Strong analytical skills: comfortable in platform reporting, spreadsheet modeling and a BI or CRM dashboard, and able to explain a performance shift in terms of its underlying driver.

• Comfort operating in a long, considered B2B sales cycle where the meaningful conversion happens weeks after the click and the platform's own optimization signal is thin.

• Collaboration with creative teams on performance creative, and with operations teams on lead flow.

• Ability to synthesize market data and analyze business performance metrics, KPIs, and similar.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or equivalent.

• 10+ years of experience with buying B2B media
