About the role

Group 8A is a full-suite digital marketing agency located in New York City, specializing in scalable marketing tactics and services through intent and discovery based platforms.

We're looking for an Performance Marketing Account Manager - Paid Media to lead a portfolio of paid media clients and serve as a strategic partner in their growth.

This role is ideal for someone who loves building client relationships but also has a deep understanding of performance marketing. You'll be the person clients trust to guide strategy, identify opportunities, solve challenges, and ensure their marketing investments are driving meaningful business results.

Performance & Analytics

  • Monitor key business metrics including click metrics, customer acquisition, revenue growth, and profitability
  • Analyze campaign performance and identify opportunities for optimization and scale
  • Present findings and recommendations in a clear, compelling, and actionable manner
  • Connect marketing performance to broader business outcomes

Industry & Platform Expertise

  • Stay current on trends and developments across Meta, Google, Microsoft/Bing, TikTok, attribution, analytics, and emerging advertising platforms
  • Educate clients on industry shifts, platform updates, and best practices
  • Bring innovative ideas and strategic thinking to client partnerships

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of experience in account management, client services, paid media, or performance marketing for e-commerce
  • Agency experience managing multiple client relationships simultaneously
  • Strong understanding of Meta Ads, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, GA4, and digital marketing analytics
  • Experience leading strategic conversations around customer acquisition, growth, attribution, and media performance
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills
  • Ability to simplify complex marketing concepts and data for clients
  • Strong organizational and project management skills
  • Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a passion for helping brands grow

You'll Thrive Here If You

  • Naturally think beyond campaign metrics and focus on business outcomes
  • Enjoy partnering with clients and becoming an extension of their team
  • Love solving complex growth challenges
  • Stay curious about marketing trends, technology, and platform innovation
  • Are comfortable balancing strategic thinking with day-to-day client leadership

Why Join Group 8A

  • Work with exciting consumer and lifestyle brands
  • Be a strategic voice in client growth and business decisions
  • Collaborate with talented paid media specialists and marketers
  • Fully remote work environment
  • Competitive compensation
  • Opportunity to grow within a fast-moving agency that values innovation, ownership, and results
