Head of Growth — Paid Media & Performance Creative
Remote | Fractional to Full-Time
ABOUT FUTURE DIGITAL
We’re a growth marketing partner for the next generation of category-defining women and family health startups. We run two disciplines deep — paid media and lifecycle/retention — as an embedded extension of our clients’ teams, with the AI fluency to move faster and client-to-strategist ratios kept intentionally low.
We’ve built the foundation — a strong client base, an established team, a clear way of working. Now we’re hiring the person who grows the engine that drives it: someone to own, evolve, and scale our paid media and performance creative — expanding clients into new channels, sharpening how we turn data into growth decisions, and raising the bar on the creative that feeds it all.
THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Head of Growth to own and grow the media side of the business — a senior leader who runs how paid acquisition works at Future Digital, evolves our performance creative team, and lead a book of client accounts while doing it.
One half is leadership: you own the media practice — the strategy, the channel mix, the creative engine, and the operating systems that let a senior team deliver consistently and expand client results. You’re the person who decides where growth comes from next, and builds the team and systems to go get it.
The other half is hands-on: you lead a focused set of growth accounts directly — in the strategy, on the calls, accountable for performance — directing strategists and specialists on execution rather than living in the platforms yourself. You read the client’s full picture, frame what the numbers mean, and guide the growth decisions while the team runs them out.
Builder and grower first. Hands-on account lead alongside it. This suits someone who came up in a strong growth or performance agency, wants real ownership of a practice rather than a seat inside someone else’s, and is energized by both the strategy and the craft.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
• The growth engine. Paid acquisition strategy across the book — what we run, where, and why. You own the channel mix and lead expansion into new surfaces as clients are ready for them, so growth keeps compounding instead of plateauing on the channels that got them here.
• The performance creative team. You grow and evolve how we make performance creative — the testing rhythm, the quality bar, the people. Creative is where modern paid media is won or lost, and you make ours a genuine advantage.
• A hands-on book of growth accounts. You’re the lead on a focused set of accounts — owning the strategy, on the calls, accountable for outcomes — with strategists and specialists executing under you. This is real client leadership, not oversight from a distance.
• Data into growth decisions. You look across each client’s performance and tell the story of it clearly — to founders, to marketing leads, to the team. You’re the one who reads the data and decides where to push: budget, channels, scale, what to cut. The team executes; you set the direction.
• How the media practice runs. The capacity planning, reporting cadences, QA, and operating rhythm of the media side — the systems that let the team deliver consistently and make our next stage of growth repeatable rather than improvised. (Broader company operations sit elsewhere; this is the media engine specifically.)
• AI woven into the work. You actively integrate AI into media, creative, and reporting — segmentation, creative drafting and iteration, QA, performance analysis, workflow automation — as the leverage that lets a lean senior team punch far above its size.
YOU ARE
• Deep in paid media, built at a strong growth agency. You’ve run paid acquisition at real scale and across channels — you’ve set strategy, expanded clients into new surfaces, led the client relationship, directed specialists, and judged the quality of the work, even if you’re not the one in the platforms day to day. This depth is non-negotiable.
• A practice builder, not just a buyer. You take ownership of how a media operation runs and grows — refining, tightening, expanding — rather than executing inside what someone else built. We have a foundation; you make it better and take it further.
• A strong communicator who understands how to frame performance and align with the brand’s business goals. You can stand in front of a founder and make the numbers mean something — what’s working, what isn’t, what we’re doing about it. Clients trust your read on their growth because you make it clear and you make it land.
• Creative-minded about performance. You know that paid results live and die on creative, you have a point of view on what good performance creative looks like, and you can grow a team that produces it.
• Data-driven in your growth judgment. You read the full client picture and make the call on where growth comes from next — and you’re comfortable owning that decision while the team runs it out.
• An active AI integrator. You don’t just “use AI” — you’ve built it into how you actually work, with specific examples of tools and workflows where it saved real time or raised quality, plus a clear-eyed view of where it doesn’t help.
• Looking for a home. You want depth and longevity with a high-quality team and a practice you can own — not a title to collect on the way to somewhere else.
• Comfortable with a fractional engagement to start. This begins fractional, with room to grow into full-time for the right fit.
Agency or growth-startup operations experience is a strong plus.
