Senior Account Manager, Performance Marketing

MVR Digital•Toronto, ON

7d•$6,000 - $8,000•Remote

About The Position

MVR Digital is a performance marketing agency serving premium and luxury DTC and e-commerce brands. We run Meta, Google, TikTok, Connected TV, and email for clients who expect strategic partnership, not order-taking. Adweek recognized us as one of the Fastest Growing Agencies. We are fully remote with hubs in NYC, Chicago, and Denver. You will own client relationships from strategy to execution across a focused book of accounts, generally in the range of 1 to 5 depending on account complexity and spend. You lead weekly performance calls, work closely with our Head of Paid Media to help develop cross-channel media strategies, analyze data across platforms, and turn recommendations into action on budgets that directly impact seven-figure marketing spend. This role sits between strategy and execution. You partner with our Head of Paid Media to help shape the plan, then you analyze the results, coordinate the team, and own the client relationship. You communicate like a consultant and execute like an operator. Our clients are sophisticated. They ask why CPAs spiked, whether attribution data is reliable, how PMax is actually structured, and what our stance is on branded spend. You need answers grounded in analysis, not talking points that sound good. The Google Fluency Bar This is the distinguishing requirement for the role. You are not a Google specialist and you will not own campaign builds, bid strategy overhauls, or technical tracking implementation. Our media buyers own that work. What you do own is client-facing Google credibility. Specifically, you can: Walk a client through what the Google buyer did last week and explain why it matters to their business. Read a Performance Max structure and identify surface-level issues (asset group logic, audience signals, feed health, branded contamination). Hold your own on branded spend strategy: when it makes sense, when it inflates ROAS, and how to have that conversation with a founder who wants to see the branded number stay high. Diagnose common Shopify feed and Merchant Center issues well enough to know whether it is a buyer problem, a dev problem, or a platform problem. Explain the difference between Search, Shopping, PMax, and Demand Gen in plain language, and know when each fits the client's business. Read GA4 and Looker Studio reports critically. Spot when attribution windows, conversion lag, or platform reporting differences are creating a false signal. Talk through MER, blended CAC, and incrementality without hiding behind platform ROAS. You do not need to be able to rebuild account structures or set up conversion tracking from scratch. You do need to be the person clients trust to translate what our specialists are doing and why. Cross-Channel Fluency Google is the depth requirement. You also need working knowledge of Meta and TikTok strong enough to lead a client conversation about performance across the full stack. If a client asks about ASC scaling on Meta or Spark Ads on TikTok, you can hold the room without pulling in a specialist for every question. You know enough to know when you do need to pull one in.

Requirements

5+ years managing performance marketing campaigns or client accounts with strategic responsibility.
Direct hands-on experience with Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Demand Gen) at a level that lets you speak to structure, strategy, and diagnostics, not just report on it.
Working knowledge of Meta Ads and TikTok Ads deep enough to lead client conversations across all three channels.
Fluency in GA4, Looker Studio, and cross-channel attribution. You can read a report critically and spot when something is off.
Experience with accounts spending $100K+ monthly, or equivalent complexity in budget management.
Agency background strongly preferred. If in-house, you have worked directly with external partners or exec-level stakeholders in a strategic capacity.
Proven ability to navigate difficult conversations and maintain trust when delivering hard truths.
DTC or e-commerce experience required. Premium or luxury vertical strongly preferred.
Comfortable in remote, async environments with distributed teams.
Strong project management skills, with the ability to keep creative production, campaign launches, and cross-functional timelines on track without things slipping.
Based in the United States or Canada.
