Performance Marketing Strategist Agency

ProperExpression, New York, NY, United States


The Short of It
We're looking for a senior performance marketer with experience leading execution across most core channels of the modern marketing stack (email, content, SEO, paid media, and/or HubSpot & RevOps), paired with strong client-facing experience and team management skills. This role is ideal for someone who wants to deepen their ability to lead delivery, manage clients, and coordinate teams while driving measurable results. We're looking for a doer with leadership potential.

Overview
Looking for a role where you can lead delivery, not just support it?

At ProperExpression, our Performance Marketing Strategists are execution leaders, not meeting runners. This role sits at the center of client delivery – translating strategy into action, leading project managers and specialists, and owning the quality, results, and momentum of client work. It's a senior, client-facing delivery role for marketers who understand how modern marketing works in the real world.

If you enjoy working directly with clients, coordinating complex marketing programs, and holding work to a high bar across channels – we would be delighted to meet you!

About ProperExpression
ProperExpression is a fully-remote boutique growth marketing agency focused on the B2B SaaS and Financial Services industries. We partner with ambitious clients to build predictable, scalable growth engines across channels, including SEO, content, paid media, email, and RevOps.

We are a HubSpot Platinum Partner and have been recognized by Clutch and Excellence.com as a top-performing agency. Despite being a relatively young agency, we're growing quickly and intentionally, and building the next phase of the firm with people who want real ownership, real impact, and room to grow.

We also laugh a lot, don't take ourselves too seriously and try to make any excuse to eat good food - sharing food experiences has become a bit of an internal culture with life of its own.

The Role (What You'll Actually Do)
As a Performance Marketing Strategist, you will lead account teams made up of channel specialists (PPC, SEO, creative, copy, web dev etc.) and project managers to deliver results and ROI for our clients.

You will be expected to:

Collaborate on strategy with the Account Director and own execution

Lead day-to-day client delivery and communication

Ensure work is executed at a high standard across channels

Coordinate internal project managers and channel specialists to ensure nothing slips

Client retention

: Retain clients by consistently delivering value, earning trust, and maintaining momentum.

Client results

: Drive measurable results through high-quality execution and ongoing optimization.

Productivity
