Job description
The agency operates in pods - small, autonomous growth teams led by elite team leaders. Each pod functions like a mini-agency, and we’re now hiring a Growth Marketing Pod Leader to own our next pod.
This role requires someone who is:
1. Client Success & Client Communication
Exceptionally strong with client success and communication - a world-class level CSM.
You must be able to operate as a top-tier CSM (Client Success Manager) for your pod:
Burning desire to ensure clients get what they need from our service to succeed with us
“Service-first” mindset - always wanting to serve clients EVEN if they have high expectations or are more intense/custom
You GENUINELY care about clients, and you are LASER-FOCUSSED on ensuring our clients win with us
Confident running all client calls
Able to persuade, upsell, and sell the strategy
Able to handle escalations, objections, and complex problems in a calm and confident manner (if problems appear, you can turn frustrated or worried clients into loyal ones by solving problems and finding solutions, with confidence)
Be charismatic, emotionally intelligent, highly proactive, and a pleasure to work with
Be incredibly detail oriented
Promote long-term client retention and prevent churn by building deep trust and alignment
Navigate conflict, emotion, or uncertainty with ease
Handle high-pressure situations without cracking
You’re the point of stability for the client, the person they trust and the person they listen to. Your communication, relationship building and client success skills are a huge factor in the success of your pod, and for that reason your client success and communication skills must be elite.
You must understand sales psychology to properly present your idea and plans, and you must have a core desire for ensuring clients get what they need from our service. You make clients feel supported, understood, and bought into the plan - always.
NOTE: This is a CORE part of this role. Without this, you will not succeed.
2. A True Leader for your Team
You must have real experience managing people - you will inherit experienced media buyers from day one, as well as video editors, designers, creative strategists etc.
When running a full pod you could manage 6-8 people, potentially even more. They will look to you as their leader.
You must be able to:
Ensure the team trust you and see you as their leader
Own the pod’s culture and performance
Set high standards
Hold people accountable
Ensure deadlines are met
Coach, direct, support and upskill your team
Foster teamwork and create an enjoyable place to work for your team to keep them motivated and bought into the agency
Drive speed, quality, and consistency across the board
Keep your pod aligned, efficient, and moving fast
3. A Strong Growth Marketer (Media Buying & Creative Strategy)
You must have:
Real experience scaling DTC brands on Meta (Google ads is a plus)
Strong creative strategy instincts
The ability to break down performance and diagnose issues fast
Experience briefing creative teams
Strong media buying skill and experience
