Account Director (Performance Marketing Agency)

Account Director

We're Not Looking for Employees. We're Looking for Builders.

Level Agency is hiring a performance-obsessed, detail-anchored Account Director—someone who knows how to move fast, lead client relationships with precision, and turn data into strategic momentum. You’re not here to coast—you’re here to drive outcomes.

This Isn’t for Everyone.

We’re building something rare: a place where growth, truth, and high performance go hand-in-hand. You’ll thrive here if:

✅ You love pressure, autonomy, and accountability.
✅ You can juggle a dozen details, then pitch strategy to a CMO.
✅ You treat AI and innovation as second nature.

And you’ll struggle here if:

❌ You move slowly.
❌ Feedback makes you bristle.
❌ You need a step-by-step manual to do your best work.

About Level

We’re an AI-powered performance marketing agency—built for precision, designed to scale, and powered by a scientific mindset. At Level, we blend strategy, media, creative, and machine intelligence to deliver outcomes that matter. Every time. At scale.

We’ve been named one of Pittsburgh’s Best Places to Work and an Inc. 500 Fastest-Growing Company. Our clients range from ecommerce to B2B, education, healthcare, and beyond.

Your Role (and Impact)

As an Account Director, you’ll sit at the epicenter of our client engagements—leading strategy, managing outcomes, and mentoring a small but mighty team. You’ll be the person clients trust, internal teams count on, and performance revolves around.

You’ll:

• Own Strategy: Translate client business goals into performance marketing plans that win.
• Manage the Work: Set the pace, run agile standups, and keep teams aligned and accountable.
• Lead the Relationship: Be the voice clients count on for clear guidance and smart recommendations.
• Think in Numbers: Analyze performance data, ask the right questions, and bring strategic insights.
• Talk on Your Feet: Whether it’s presenting to a C-suite or fielding an unexpected question, you’re ready.
• Drive Growth: Spot new opportunities, pitch great ideas, and get buy-in to execute.
• Mentor & Manage: Be the lead on clients and coordinate resources for those clients.
• Master the Details: Keep budgets, invoicing, forecasting, and documentation sharp and accurate.

Must-Have Experience

• Agency veteran: 5–7+ years in a digital agency, leading client accounts across paid media.
• Paid media fluency: You’ve managed campaigns in Google Ads, Meta, and other major platforms.
• Platform savvy: In-platform experience with GA, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and dashboards is second nature.
• Financial command: Comfortable owning budgets, forecasts, and client-level profitability.
• Strategic chops: Proven success driving performance in B2B, Financial Services, or similar verticals.
• Presentation-ready: A confident communicator—written, visual, and verbal.
• Deeply Analytical: You live in the numbers and make decisions that move the needle.
• AI-native: You don’t just dabble—you apply AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, or Perplexity to work smarter and faster.
• Detail-obsessed: You never let the small stuff slide and can juggle complex, high-volume accounts without blinking.

Real AI & Innovation Expectations

At Level, AI is a skillset, not a buzzword. In this role, you’ll:

• Share two examples of how you’ve used AI to improve your work.
• Show us how you’d use AI tools in a client-facing role at Level.
• Describe how you’ve driven innovation—tools, workflows, ideas—in your recent work.
