We support 100% remote work for this role!

We’d love to hear from you if:

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you qualify, but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch.

As a Director, Client Partner , you will own strategic, executive‑level client relationships for a defined set of accounts, build integrated multi‑channel plans tied to client objectives, and lead client touchpoints that turn insight into decisions. You’ll interrogate briefs, bring competitive and scenario thinking, and orchestrate cross‑functional trade‑offs so plans are measurable and actionable. You’ll convert complex platform, competitive, and Bliss Point App insights into clear narratives (“what, so what, now what”), champion product‑ and measurement‑led ways of working, and raise operating standards so teams deliver predictable, high‑quality outcomes. You’ll develop leaders, reduce risk through formal reviews and playbooks, and partner with centralized Ops/Finance on delivery quality and financial discipline - while you stay focused on client success and growth.

Key Responsibilities

Client‑Centric

Own end‑to‑end integrated, multi‑channel planning for assigned accounts and present at client touchpoints; align annual/quarterly/campaign plans to business objectives with clear trade‑offs, channel roles, pacing, and investment recommendations, pulling in Strategic Planning for ambiguous briefs, multi‑market/brand needs, long‑lead channels, or transformational questions.

Build trusted relationships with director/VP‑level stakeholders; expand the stakeholder map; proactively surface and neutralize risks and political headwinds.

Connect investment and testing recommendations to measurable outcomes; lead forecasting and scenario modeling (e.g., CAC, ROAS, revenue, reach, lift) to identify waste to reduce and scale opportunities to fund, including testing agendas across creative, audiences, placements, and landing pages.

Drive performance, optimization, and transparency; lead client touchpoints that convert insights into clear decisions and next steps.

Lead or co‑lead new‑business pursuits with BD; shape solutioning, scoping, and narratives that highlight integrated, cross‑channel value.

Product‑Led

Build and demonstrate deep working knowledge of the Bliss Point App Suite; be an early adopter who connects features, data structures, and limitations to client priorities and decisions.

Construct action‑driving narratives using App outputs (“what, so what, now what”); set standards for instrumentation and hygiene; ensure robust QA and issue triage.

Channel structured feedback to Product; champion measurable adoption and high‑quality usage across your teams; link use cases to retention, cross‑sell, and performance.

Data & Measurement‑Driven

Define simple success measures by objective (awareness, consideration, conversion) and partner with Analytics/Econometrics to design the measurement approach (e.g., MMM, incrementality), including when and how results will be read and what trade‑offs and guardrails apply.

Synthesize multi‑source, multi‑channel data into clear stories and investment cases with expected impact and confidence ranges; present options and recommendations clients can act on.

Anticipate and resolve data and QA issues; lead critical escalations; monitor outcomes, run after‑action reviews, and update assumptions and recommendations for the next client touchpoint.

The Tinuiti Way

Apply practical and strategic knowledge of at least two marketing channels; explain how channels are measured and leveraged within the holistic mix; integrate product, measurement, and channel expertise into a single, accessible client narrative.

Use inventory and economic model knowledge (by channel) to inform pacing, elasticity, and trade‑offs; educate clients to increase literacy and buy‑in.

Ensure briefs, plans, and reviews consistently reflect Tinuiti standards (integrated strategy, measurement, and product thinking).

Owner Mindset

Lead through ambiguity with a human‑centered approach; create clarity, safety, and pace for teams and clients; run after‑action reviews to codify learning.

Proactively identify well‑framed cross‑sell/growth opportunities; partner with BD and practice leads; serve as pursuit lead for strategic wins.

Build strong internal coalitions (Product, Analytics, Channels, Ops/Finance) to unlock outcomes; own the results for your clients while holding partners accountable for operational excellence.

People Leader

Promote a culture of accountability and performance; set clear goals and expectations; provide timely feedback and coaching.

Develop emerging leaders; build a strong bench and succession readiness; maintain engagement and alignment through change.

Encourage and support a product‑led, measurement‑driven mindset across the team; ensure stewardship and adoption in the day‑to‑day.

Ways of working and values

Greatness attracts Greatness: Raise the craft bar, seek feedback, embrace technology/AI.

Clients grow, we grow: Anchor plans and decisions in outcomes, with innovation, precision, and proof.

Culture of ownership: Act with speed, reduce waste, and own results end‑to‑end.

Professional & Technical Qualifications

10+ years in client leadership within performance marketing (enterprise/upper‑mid), with repeated success driving growth and efficiency.

4+ years people leadership (managing ICs and managers): hiring, coaching, performance management, and succession planning.

Executive relationship leadership and expectation setting; adept at complex alignment and change leadership.

Cross‑channel literacy (Search, Social, Display/TV & Audio, Commerce/Retail Media, Lifecycle/CRM, Creative) with strong measurement acumen (forecasting, KPI trees, MMM/incrementality literacy).

Bliss Point fluency (or similar): translate MMM / Incrementality / Forecasting / Brand / Creative insights into investment and testing decisions; partner effectively with Product/Analytics.

Financial fluency via partnership: can read/interpret margin/utilization, pricing constructs, staffing/capacity signals, and forecasts; holds Ops/Finance accountable for excellence (without executing those mechanics).

Education/certifications: BA/BS required; advanced degree preferred or equivalent

KPIs

Client growth and efficiency: retention/satisfaction; efficiency and revenue growth; validated reallocations informed by Bliss Point.

Growth: cross‑sell/upsell pipeline and conversion; strategic pursuits influenced/won.

Forecast & risk: forecast quality (plan vs. actual within agreed tolerance); early risk identification and mitigations implemented.

Data/ops quality: strong QA governance; time‑to‑resolution on critical issues; prevention of recurrence (via partnerships with Ops/Product/Analytics).

People outcomes: engagement/retention of key roles; capability growth; manager bench strength; succession rea
