Digital Marketing Account Manager
Stop Chasing Quotas. Start Chasing Results. Most candidates only read the first 50 words of a job description. Let's make these count. If you're tired of the churn-and-burn agency model — and you want to own the strategy for a roster of home service pros you actually know by name — keep reading. We're looking for a strategist who can command a Zoom room and make GA4 numbers feel like a success story. The kind of leader who turns data into human connection. We're not looking for a middleman; we're looking for the bridge between client ambition and measurable growth. This could be the role that shifts your career. About Digital Shift Since 2007, Digital Shift has cut through the agency noise by building strong relationships, creating inclusive spaces, and delivering real results for home service businesses across Canada and the US. We believe every client is more than a number and every campaign is a chance to empower, connect, and grow. Join us and help make digital marketing more human. Our Core Values Relationship Focus: Building lasting relationships with clients and business partners. (Translation: we know our clients' dogs' names.) Leadership: Empowering clients, partners, and each other. Strive for Excellence: Committing to high performance and corporate responsibility. (Translation: "good enough" isn't.) Teamwork & Team Synergy: Collaborating to make a real difference. Build Trust: Acting with integrity in everything we do. (Translation: we don't hide behind confusing reports.) Community Involvement: Giving back and making a positive impact. Role Overview As our Digital Marketing Account Manager, you'll act as the primary bridge between our clients and our internal technical teams. Your mission: translate each client's business objectives into actionable digital strategies, oversee execution across SEO, Local Search and Google Business Profile, Local AI Search (GEO/AI-driven local visibility), paid social, video, and email channels, and make sure every campaign delivers measurable results. You'll own the relationship, the strategy, the numbers, and the calm voice on the other end of the line when the digital landscape shifts.
