Director of Sales (Performance Marketing Agency)

Level Agency

5h • $125,000 - $150,000 • Remote

About The Position

Level is the digital marketing agency for brands ready to shatter yesterday’s wins.
We help high-consideration, complex businesses grow faster using a connected system of paid media, SEO, creative, web, data, and AI-powered iteration. We don’t sell “campaigns.” We sell compounding performance—built through daily optimization, relentless testing, and truth-first decision making.
We’re not hiring a Director to keep deals moving.
We’re hiring a closer who can lead executive conversations, uncover the real problem, and sell the right solution across a full performance marketing stack.
Level Agency is hiring a driven, strategic Director of Sales to lead high-value pursuits, deepen enterprise relationships, and accelerate our outbound strategy. This role is for a senior seller who thrives in complexity, owns outcomes end-to-end, and knows how to win without waiting for permission.
You will lead the charge on our most strategic opportunities—referrals, inbound, and RFPs—and help shape a modern outbound engine alongside the CRO, including oversight and partnership with our Inbound Manager and SDR functions.
Important: This role requires someone who has sold for a digital marketing agency—not just media inventory, not just ad tech, not just software. You’ve sold integrated services and know how to build confidence in a multi-discipline approach.
Our partners hire Level because our capabilities work together—and we evolve them as platforms change. You’ll be selling a performance marketing system that includes:
Paid Media Planning & Buying (search, social, programmatic, etc.)
SEO + AI Search Strategy
Performance Creative & Content (hooks, iteration, production velocity)
Web / Landing Page Development & Conversion Optimization
CRM, Lifecycle, and Marketing Automation
Data Science, Measurement, and Analytics
Strategy & Consulting for high-consideration journeys
This role is best suited for someone who has previously sold across these disciplines and can confidently represent an integrated performance marketing solution.
As Director of Sales, you’ll own strategy + execution for complex, high-stakes deals while shaping how Level goes to market.

• Know how to sell outcomes without over scoping, and hold scope without getting “commoditized”
• Use AI to move faster and sharper—researching, messaging, prospecting, and preparing
• Want to win and want your work measured
• Deep experience selling digital marketing agency services (paid + SEO + creative + web + data)
• Strong executive presence and client-facing clarity—you can run the meeting, not just attend it
