Director of Performance Marketing (Remote)
Job Description:
You'll own and build Takeoff's paid media practice. This is the senior seat on the function: you set the strategy, define the campaigns, own the client relationships, and shape how we scale paid media for our B2B clients. Direct access to leadership, real influence on how the practice develops, none of the holding-company bureaucracy.
What you'll do
- Own paid media strategy end to end for a portfolio of B2B clients across Google Ads and LinkedIn
- Define the campaign strategy: the angles, offers, and creative concepts that make ads work, then brief our designers to bring them to life
- Lead client relationships, run strategy calls, and build the confidence that drives retention and expansion
- Set the standards, SOPs, and playbooks for how Takeoff runs paid media
- Run your book of business with rigor: organized, on track, and proactive without being chased
- Partner with our SEO, web, and creative teams to deliver integrated programs
- Help us scale: as we sign accounts, shape the team and processes that support them
What we're looking for
Must-haves:
- 7+ years in paid media at a B2B agency, with real ownership of client accounts
- Strong account management: you build trusted relationships and drive retention and expansion
- Creative and strategic thinking: you generate campaign ideas and angles, not just execute briefs
- Excellent project management and self-organization: you run your accounts without being managed
- Hands-on expertise in Google Ads and LinkedIn Campaign Manager
- A real understanding of B2B buyer journeys
Nice-to-haves:
- Offline conversion tracking, CRM integration, and value-based bidding
- Experience building SOPs and systematizing a function
- Meta and programmatic experience
- Experience mentoring or leading other marketers
About Takeoff
Takeoff is a B2B marketing agency running paid media, SEO, content, design and web programs for enterprise clients. Smaller team, real client work, direct access to leadership.
Why Join Takeoff?
Build Something From Scratch
You're not joining a team of 10; you're building the department. That's a rare opportunity at an established agency with real clients and revenue. The path from IC to team lead to practice owner is concrete, not hypothetical.
Work That Challenges You
Enterprise B2B clients investing seriously in growth, without the bureaucracy of a large holding company. Direct access to leadership, real influence on how the practice develops, and variety across 3-7 client accounts.
Fully Remote Freedom
Work from anywhere with at least 5 hours of daily overlap with EST. We've been remote-first from day one, so we've built systems and culture that actually work for distributed teams. No "back to office" mandates, ever.
Exceptional Benefits & Compensation
Compensation:
- $120,000 to $160,000 based on experience. Fully remote (With at least 5 hours of daily overlap with EST).
- Bonus tied to paid media practice milestones: revenue targets, client retention, and account growth. Details are shared during the interview process so you know exactly what you're working toward.
Time Off That Respects Your Life:
- 5 weeks (25 days) paid vacation annually
- 11 paid national holidays (based on your location)
- Your birthday off as a paid day to celebrate you
- Flexible schedule to manage your life across time zones
Health & Wellness:
- $500 monthly healthy living stipend ($6,000/year). Use this toward whatever supports your wellbeing: health insurance premiums, gym memberships, therapy, fitness equipment, healthy meals, or other health-related expenses. You choose what matters most to you.
- As a fully remote global company, we don't provide traditional employer-sponsored health insurance. This stipend gives you the autonomy to structure your benefits in the way that works best for your situation.
Professional Development:
- $2,500 technology signing bonus to set up your perfect home office on day one
- Learning & development budget for courses, certifications, and conferences
Our Hiring Process
- Application Review (1-2 weeks)
- Initial Screening Call (30 minutes) - Get to know each other
- Mock Presentation to the Leadership Team (90 minutes) - complete a task representative of the role to make sure it's a good fit
- Reference Checks - We'll ask for 2-3 references
- Offer & Onboarding
We review applications on a rolling basis and move quickly for the right candidate.
