Paid media growth director

Graphite is a technology-enabled growth agency that helps fast-growing companies like Masterclass, Notion, and BetterUp unlock sustainable revenue through content, SEO, AEO, and paid media.

We’re obsessed with impact: it’s foundational to who we are, why we’re successful, and how we approach delivering outcomes for clients and ultimately, everyone on the internet. We are a fully distributed company with team members located across North America, Latin America, and Europe.

We seek an experienced Growth Director (Paid Media) to lead paid growth strategies for high-growth tech companies. You will develop and execute full-funnel media, measurement, and creative strategies that drive business results for our partners, and build the paid team that delivers them. Success requires strong problem-solving skills, an AI-first way of working, and ownership of complex, large-scale programs.

This opportunity is full-time and fully remote, offering the flexibility to work from home.

Come join us and help us build the best paid growth engines, everywhere that matters!

What you’ll do

• Lead paid growth strategies for tech companies, managing $1M+ a month in spend across clients.
• Own full-funnel media plans across search, social, video and CTV, programmatic, and ChatGPT Ads, including channel expansion and investment scenario planning.
• Design each client’s measurement plan: tracking, geo-holdout and in-platform lift tests, and MMM calibration. Decide what is incremental.
• Set creative strategy and the testing roadmap, turning research and test results into concepts and briefs.
• Run accounts AI-first: use AI workflows for audits, pacing, reporting, and optimization, and override them when they are wrong.
• Present insights and outcomes to executives in weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews, linking paid results with SEO and AEO.
• Support hiring and lead the paid team by building the team, designing playbooks, and coaching them on how to run highly effective paid programs.

What expertise you’ll need

• Paid Media: 7+ years of agency or in-house paid media experience, including $1M+ a month across multiple clients and channels.
• Full-Funnel Buying: Hands-on with Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and programmatic (DV360 or similar). Owns forecasting, pacing, and budget allocation against business goals.
• Measurement: Has run lift tests end to end and acted on MMM readouts. Fluent in incrementality, attribution, KPI selection, and business economics.
• Creative Strategy: Has led creative strategy and testing programs, not only briefed them.
• AI Adoption: Uses LLMs daily and has built at least one AI workflow (audits, reporting, optimization, or creative) that saved the team real time.
• Data Analysis: Exceptional data analysis skills; comfortable in Looker, Sheets and storytelling.
• Leadership: Has managed and developed a team of paid marketers, with executive presence in front of VP and C-suite marketers.
