Director of Sales (Performance Marketing Agency)

Remote - U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | OTE: $125,000-$150,000 (Base + Commission)

GOOD ENOUGH ISN'T.

Level is the digital marketing agency for brands ready to shatter yesterday's wins. We help high-consideration, complex businesses grow faster using a connected system of paid media, SEO, creative, web, data, and AI-powered iteration. We don't sell "campaigns." We sell compounding performance—built through daily optimization, relentless testing, and truth-first decision making.

We're not hiring a Director to keep deals moving. We're hiring a closer who can lead executive conversations, uncover the real problem, and sell the right solution across a full performance marketing stack.

Role
Level Agency is hiring a driven, strategic

Director of Sales

to lead high-value pursuits, deepen enterprise relationships, and accelerate our outbound strategy. This role is for a senior seller who thrives in complexity, owns outcomes end-to-end, and knows how to win without waiting for permission.

You will lead the charge on our most strategic opportunities—referrals, inbound, and RFPs—and help shape a modern outbound engine alongside the CRO, including oversight and partnership with our Inbound Manager and SDR functions.

Important: This role requires someone who has sold for a digital marketing agency—not just media inventory, not just ad tech, not just software. You've sold integrated services and know how to build confidence in a multi-discipline approach.

What You'll Sell
Our partners hire Level because our capabilities work together—and we evolve them as platforms change. You'll be selling a performance marketing system that includes:

Paid Media Planning & Buying (search, social, programmatic, etc.)

SEO + AI Search Strategy

Performance Creative & Content (hooks, iteration, production velocity)

Web / Landing Page Development & Conversion Optimization

CRM, Lifecycle, and Marketing Automation

Data Science, Measurement, and Analytics

Strategy & Consulting for high-consideration journeys

This role is best suited for someone who has previously sold across these disciplines and can confidently represent an integrated performance marketing solution.

Your Impact
As Director of Sales, you'll own strategy + execution for complex, high-stakes deals while shaping how Level goes to market. You will:

Lead the end-to-end sales process for strategic, high-value deals (inbound, referrals, RFPs)

Build relationships with C-level buyers and close transformative client engagements

Represent Level in Tier 1 rooms—credible, composed, and persuasive in executive conversations

Translate ambiguous business problems into clear, board-level outcomes and scoped solutions

Quarterback internal pursuits by aligning cross-functional experts (paid, SEO, creative, web, data)

Lead custom proposals and RFP responses with sharp positioning and strategic rigor

Maintain a healthy pipeline and forecast with precision and truth (no vibes-based CRM)

Drive $3-5M in new business annually with clear visibility into ROI

Travel to key client meetings, conferences, and internal summits as needed

Qualifications
You'll thrive here if you:

Have carried a quota and produced real revenue selling agency services

Can close 6-7 figure deals with multi-stakeholder buyer groups

Can confidently sell paid media + SEO + creative + web + analytics as one system

Run executive discovery like a pro: crisp, consultative, and high-control (in a good way)

Know how to sell outcomes without over scoping, and hold scope without getting "commoditized"

Use AI to move faster and sharper—researching, messaging, prospecting, and preparing

Want to win and want your work measured

You will struggle here if you:

Need layers of hierarchy to get things done

Rely only on your network and don't have repeatable sales craft

Have only sold one slice (e.g., "media only" / "SEO only") and can't sell integrated services

Get uncomfortable when the conversation goes technical (measurement, web, SEO, creative tradeoffs)

Can't command attention in executive conversations or struggle to drive next steps

Requirements

10+ years of B2B sales experience, with 5+ years in enterprise or strategic selling

Track record of closing $1M+ deals without support

Fluent in high-stakes selling: RFPs, referrals, complex buyer journeys

Expertise in selling agency services (not just media or ad tech)

Hunger, presence, and polish to lead in the room—not just join it

Exceptional client-facing communication: you can run executive meetings, guide stakeholders, and keep momentum

Natural charisma + gravitas: you're someone clients want to talk to and trust quickly

Preferred Experience

Familiarity with the Sandler Sales framework (or similar consultative methods)

Experience with CRM or creative services in addition to media

Prior oversight of SDR or outbound teams

Experience selling into Tier 1/Tier 2 orgs with multi-stakeholder buyer groups

AI Expectations
At Level, proficiency with AI tools is a core part of your role—not a nice-to-have. Your success in this position depends not only on your functional expertise, but also on your ability to actively integrate AI into how you work.

You are expected to:

Continuously experiment with tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude to improve messaging, outreach, and efficiency

Share prompts, learnings, and workflows to elevate the broader team

Treat AI as a force multiplier for creativity and clarity, not a crutch

Embrace discomfort and iteration as you refine how AI supports your sales approach

Core Values

No Ego, All In – We don't do "that's not my job." We win together

Better Every Day – We want the feedback—even when it stings

Relentless for Results – Activity is nothing without outcomes

Driven by Truth – We challenge assumptions and follow the data

Benefits
Base salary + commission with On-Target Earnings (OTE) of $125,000-$150,000, depending on experience and qualifications.
