AdTech / MarTech Account Manager
Independent Contractor — Remote / US
Position Overview
TalentXi is engaging an independent AdTech / MarTech Account Manager to own day-to-day management of client programmatic advertising campaigns — from setup and optimization through reporting and renewal. This is a client-facing, hands-on role for someone fluent in demand-side platforms (DSPs), campaign analytics, and the adtech/martech or recruitment marketing landscape. You'll work directly with the founder and a small, distributed team supporting a growing roster of employer, staffing agency, and job board clients.
What You'll Own
Campaign Management
- Launch, monitor, and optimize client campaigns across DSPs (e.g., leading demand-side platforms) and job distribution channels
- Manage bid strategy, pacing, and budget allocation to hit CPC, CPA, and hire-quality targets
- Troubleshoot underperforming campaigns — traffic quality, targeting, creative, or bid issues — and implement fixes
- Coordinate creative and feed updates with internal team members and vendors
Client Relationship & Growth
- Serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of client accounts
- Run recurring status calls and campaign reviews with clients
- Manage renewals and identify upsell opportunities to grow account revenue
- Handle day-to-day client communication and escalations professionally and proactively
Reporting & Analytics
- Build and deliver recurring performance reports (pacing, spend, applicant/hire funnel, ROI) in client-ready format
- Translate raw campaign data into a clear performance narrative for non-technical stakeholders
- Track account health and flag risk early
Operations & Tools
- Maintain accurate account and pipeline records in HubSpot CRM
- Support A/B test tracking and case study data collection where applicable
- Keep campaign trackers and documentation current for each account
A Typical Week
Your week might include a Monday pipeline review across your account portfolio, mid-week optimization passes on live campaigns, a client call to walk through a performance report, and coordination with the team on a new client's creative or feed setup. No two weeks look identical — the throughline is ownership: you know the state of every account you manage at any given moment.
What You Bring
Required
- 2+ years managing paid media or programmatic advertising campaigns
- Working knowledge of DSPs, real-time bidding, and campaign performance analytics
- Demonstrated ability to own client relationships independently — running status calls, delivering tough performance updates, managing renewal conversations
- Strong Excel/reporting skills — comfortable building a client-ready report from raw data
- Self-directed and reliable working as an independent contractor, without daily oversight
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication
Nice to have
- Recruitment marketing, HR tech, or job board industry experience
- Familiarity with HubSpot CRM and outbound sequencing tools like lemlist
- Experience with XML feed-based job data or ATS-adjacent workflows
- Agency background managing multiple concurrent client accounts
Who Thrives Here
This role suits someone who wants ownership without a large-org layer of process — a builder who's comfortable being the single point of accountability for a client relationship, working directly with a founder, and moving fast without waiting on approval chains.
