Marketing Account Director (Start-Ups)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential digital marketing firm seeking a Marketing Account Director to lead relationships with early-stage and growth-stage brands across Latin America. This is a fully remote role for candidates based in Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, or Peru.

Our client specializes in working with startup and emerging brands—companies that may have launched via crowdfunding, are founder-led with limited internal marketing resources, or are scaling rapidly without established infrastructure. You'll be the strategic partner helping these organizations build marketing foundations and prioritize growth initiatives effectively.

Advanced proficiency in spoken and written English is required for this role.

Responsibilities

• Own and manage a portfolio of 8–12 early-stage and growth-stage client accounts
• Conduct quarterly strategic reviews to diagnose growth constraints across business model, audience, product, messaging, channels, and measurement
• Build prioritized roadmaps that align with client resources and stage of development
• Serve as the senior client relationship owner, often working directly with founders; deliver board-ready business updates in quarterly reviews
• Establish measurement infrastructure and baselines where none exist, then optimize against clear benchmarks
• Coordinate cross-channel marketing work including paid media, SEO, content, email, and creative efforts around focused account strategies
• Manage scope and identify expansion opportunities appropriate to each client's stage; avoid overselling services brands aren't ready to implement
• Drive retention and revenue expansion; lead renewals and grow monthly recurring revenue
• Build multi-threaded client relationships to reduce dependency on single points of contact
• Manage and develop 1–2 direct reports through regular one-on-ones, development plans, and performance reviews
• Coach analysts and specialists, many of whom may be new to working with startups
• Utilize proprietary technology platforms and maintain compliance with internal diagnostic systems

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years in marketing with substantial experience working with early-stage or scaling consumer brands
• Experience working with founder-led businesses and understanding the unique dynamics of fast decision-making and blurred lines between strategy and execution
• Comfort building marketing programs from scratch with minimal existing infrastructure, brand guidelines, or historical data
• Understanding of crowdfunding-to-direct-to-consumer transitions and what changes when brands shift from launch momentum to sustainable customer acquisition
• Strong prioritization skills—knowing which problems to solve first and which to defer
• Experience managing scrappy media budgets and extracting meaningful signal from limited spend
• Proven track record of retaining and growing client accounts, including navigating challenging periods
• Leadership experience managing team members and fostering their professional development

Key Performance Areas: Expansion to churn ratio, net monthly recurring revenue, client satisfaction scores, service expansion pipeline generation, team development and coaching, marketing strategy execution, client retention and revenue growth.
