The Client

The client is a boutique digital marketing agency serving a growing network of ~200 auto dealerships across North America. They pride themselves on delivering best-in-class services, fostering strong client relationships, and driving results. If you're a motivated, proactive automotive industry professional seeking a rewarding career with a work-life balance in digital marketing, they want to hear from you!

The Role

At the client, an Automotive Digital Marketing Performance Manager is the tip of the spear. Backed by a class-leading product and an amazing team, a PM is the face of the client to their dealership clientele. As a skilled expert in both the automotive industry and the digital marketing space, they will develop lasting relationships with clients and assess their performance on a monthly basis to ensure goals are met. This is done with a number of tools, like Google Analytics, Search Console, and SEMrush, as well as through their relationship-building skills.

The ultimate job of an Automotive Digital Marketing Performance Manager is to use language, visuals, and other creative storytelling to distill complex performance data into reporting that a layperson will understand and value. While sales skills will help you here, this role is about quality and authenticity, not selling.

The client’s Performance Management team is an environment where expectations are high, but you are also encouraged to be you. Each PM communicates differently and brings his or her own flavor and perspective to the role. This individualism is valued, not suppressed, and dynamic thinking is a must.

Please note that while the title includes “Manager,” the Automotive Digital Marketing Performance Manager role at the client is part of a collaborative team. After completing a training program, you will take on responsibility for managing your own external client accounts. The client values employees who consistently deliver high-quality work and offers opportunities for growth and advancement as you progress in your career.
