• While this role requires broad expertise across the digital marketing landscape, it carries a stronger emphasis on paid media strategy and performance marketing, particularly PPC.
• This individual should be equally comfortable discussing high-level business objectives with executive stakeholders and diving into campaign performance data to identify growth opportunities.
• This role is not designed for a micro-specialist; it requires an individual with exceptional business discernment who can look at the big picture, analyze complex challenges, develop strategic recommendations, and understand the downstream business impact of tactical decisions.
• As Classy Llama scales rapidly with heavy full-suite B2B and B2C clients, this role serves as the crucial day-to-day strategic anchor for tier-one accounts.
• You will own autonomous decision-making and problem-solving, operating with a high level of risk tolerance.
• Instead of escalating problems to leadership, you will evaluate the pros, cons, and bottom-line impacts to deliver executive-ready solutions.
• Beyond strategy and execution, this role serves as a key client-facing leader.
• Success requires a highly personable, engaging, and confident communicator who can build trust quickly, facilitate productive conversations, and guide clients through complex marketing decisions.
