About DNY

DNY is a culture-first marketing agency headquartered in New?York. We unlock explosive growth for brands operating at the edge of culture-whether that's modern-oral nicotine, cannabis, CPG banking, and more. Our collective blends strategy, creator marketing, and full-funnel content production, underpinned by a proprietary AI toolset that frees talent for higher-order thinking.

The Impact You'll Make

As the senior business owner for a portfolio of regulated-category clients, you will :

• Own the business. Set and deliver against a multi-million-dollar P&L, forecast revenue and margin, and steward annual growth plans-reporting directly to DNY's Managing Director with full decision rights.
• Lead client transformation. Serve as strategic adviser to C-suite stakeholders, translating consumer, cultural, and compliance insights into omnichannel programs that win awards and drive sales.
• Champion responsible innovation. Operationalize generative-AI workflows-briefing co-pilots, automating research, building prompt libraries, and codifying AI governance-so your team works smarter, faster, and safer.
• Safeguard compliance. Navigate FDA, FTC, and state statutes for MON and cannabis; partner with legal to pre-clear claims, age-gate experiences, and manage risk without sacrificing creative ambition.
• Shape a high-autonomy culture. Inspire and mentor an integrated team of strategists, creators, and producers (6-10 direct / indirect); set clear OKRs, elevate diverse voices, and cultivate a "freedom with accountability" mindset.
• Scale the business. Lead new-business pitches and expand scopes within existing accounts, targeting double-digit organic growth.
