Associate Director, Client Growth Strategy

Responsibilities
What you will be doing:

Connected Commerce Strategy & Growth

Own the Connected Commerce strategy for assigned clients, including the most complex accounts, stakeholder environments, and growth challenges within the portfolio

Translate client business goals into integrated growth strategies that drive incremental revenue and efficiency—not just channel performance

Identify, prioritize, and introduce new commerce levers clients can activate, making clear recommendations on where to invest, test, or deprioritize based on impact, scalability, and resource tradeoffs

Client Leadership & Advisory

Serve as the primary strategic point of contact and final Connected Commerce authority for clients, building trust through strong business acumen, clear point of view, and decisive recommendations

Elevate conversations within the client organization, gaining buy‑in from senior stakeholders and positioning the organization as a long‑term growth partner

Lead strategic moments including quarterly planning, business reviews, and growth planning sessions, owning the narrative, framing tradeoffs, and aligning stakeholders around committed plans

Strategic Planning & Investment Leadership

Own growth planning, budget strategy, and channel investment recommendations across the Connected Commerce ecosystem, with accountability for prioritization, sequencing, and impact at scale

Use market trends, performance data, and industry insights to inform strategy and identify new opportunities

Cross-Team Collaboration

Partner closely with Media, Investment, Operations and other critical Lines of Business to ensure strategic intent translates into effective, integrated execution, taking accountability for cross‑team alignment—not just coordination

Identify recurring friction, unclear ownership, or execution risk across teams and drive resolution or escalation to prevent rework and over‑servicing

Act as connective tissue across teams, reinforcing shared goals and outcomes rather than siloed success

Qualifications
What we look for:

Bachelor’s Degree or commensurate work experience

7+ plus years of experience working in a marketing role—ideally digital performance marketing

Strong written and verbal communication and relationship skills

Proficient knowledge of the Microsoft suite of products, including Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

Confident client communicator who can influence and inspire trust
