Managing Director, Digital Marketing

Rochester, Minnesota | On-site | Full-time

We are launching a new digital media and marketing company built on an established creative foundation. Our team already produces high-quality video and content; we are now looking for an entrepreneurial business leader to turn those capabilities into a differentiated, scalable agency.

This is not simply a campaign-management position. The Managing Director will shape the business model, build the client base, lead the team, and take responsibility for the company's overall performance.

• Own revenue growth and performance against revenue targets.
• Personally lead early-stage business development, including prospecting, partnerships, proposals, presentations, and closing new business.
• Build and execute the go-to-market and growth strategy.
• Define the company's positioning, target clients, service portfolio, pricing, and recurring-revenue model.
• Translate client goals into integrated strategies across paid search, paid social, SEO, content, lead generation, conversion, and analytics.
• Lead and develop the creative and marketing team, adding capabilities as the business grows.
• Establish strong client service, delivery, reporting, and performance-management practices.
• Build scalable operating systems, budgets, forecasts, and processes.

• Launch a clearly defined portfolio of services and pricing.
• Establish a qualified and repeatable new-business pipeline.
• Win and retain a target number of recurring clients.
• Implement consistent delivery, reporting, and client-success processes.
• Develop a practical hiring and growth plan for the next stage of the company.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in digital online marketing.
• Experience managing a team is required.
• A track record of leading or helping build a digital marketing agency, business unit, or related professional-services organization.
• Demonstrated success generating revenue and closing client relationships.
• Strong working knowledge of digital acquisition, content strategy, analytics, conversion, and marketing ROI.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary creative and marketing professionals.
• The commercial judgment to balance client outcomes, team capacity, and profitability.
• A builder's mindset: comfortable creating structure, making decisions with incomplete information, and remaining hands-on during the company's early stage.
• Based in Rochester, Minnesota. This role is on-site.

The anticipated base salary range is $100,000–$125,000 per year, plus bonuses tied to growth of the firm.
