The posting
Digital Matter is a next-generation growth and transformation partner built for the realities of today’s market. We combine the pace and precision of a startup with the discipline and rigor of a global advisory firm.
We help consumer brands manage media as a strategic asset class, with the same intentionality and governance applied to capital allocation. By connecting data, technology, and creative, we turn media investment into measurable enterprise value: accelerating growth, improving efficiency, and building durable capabilities.
Over the past seven years, we’ve guided organizations through IPOs, digital turnarounds, and successful exits. Our point of view is simple: when media is managed as capital, it becomes a catalyst for transformation at scale.
Job Description
- Direct integrated biddable strategy across paid social, paid search, programmatic, retail media, and emerging channels, with clear roles for each channel in the customer journey.
- Turn client business priorities into actionable audience, investment, creative, data, platform, and measurement decisions.

- Guide planning, activation, optimization, and measurement through channel leaders and specialists, ensuring the work reflects the strategy and meets a consistent quality bar.
- Use working knowledge of major platforms to challenge assumptions, assess platform and product choices, interpret performance, and direct optimization—without needing to be the day-to-day campaign operator.
- Manage biddable investment as a connected portfolio, balancing near-term performance with brand, customer, and enterprise value.
- Connect biddable teams to strategy, creative, commerce, CRM, analytics, and brand media so integration changes the work, not just the meeting cadence.

- Support the commercial health and growth of the capability, including scoping, staffing, pricing, margin awareness, retention, and new-business development.
- Lead and develop managers and channel specialists, creating clarity, accountability, and stronger decision-making across the team.
- Represent Digital Matter in senior client conversations, pitches, and industry discussions with a distinctive, evidence-based point of view.
- Leadership experience in biddable or performance media, with accountability for complex client portfolios, teams, and business outcomes.
- Deep expertise in paid social and strong working knowledge across paid search, programmatic, retail media, commerce, and emerging auction-based formats.
- A track record of connecting specialist channel excellence to integrated communications, customer, and growth strategies.
- Credibility with senior client executives and the ability to communicate complex technical, commercial, and measurement issues with clarity.
- Strong commercial judgment, including experience with revenue, pricing, staffing, margin, partner economics, and scope management.
- Practical fluency in experimentation, incrementality, attribution, modeling, first-party data, privacy-aware activation, and platform measurement.
- Experience scaling operating models, automation, or AI-enabled workflows while maintaining human oversight, quality, and accountability.
- Demonstrated success building leadership teams, developing talent, managing performance, and creating succession plans.
- The ability to lead through ambiguity, make informed decisions without perfect information, and adjust quickly as evidence changes.
- Preference and commitment to maintain a hybrid model in New York and client travel as business needs require
- A collaborative leadership style grounded in transparency, ownership, curiosity, and respect for functional expertise.
- Competitive salary
- Full coverage health insurance including Medical, Dental, and Vision
