Client Growth Strategy Manager, MarTech

MSLGROUP

Client Strategy Manager

The Client Strategy Manager is responsible for leading Connected Commerce strategy for a portfolio of clients, helping them unlock incremental growth across affiliate, commerce media, and emerging performance channels.

This role serves as the primary strategic advisor to clients—owning growth narratives, investment strategy, and long‑term planning—while partnering with Media, Investment, and Operations to bring integrated Connected Commerce solutions to life. Client Strategy Managers elevate the conversation beyond "affiliate as a tactic" toward commerce growth as a business driver.

Connected Commerce Strategy & Growth

  • Own the Connected Commerce strategy for assigned clients, spanning affiliate, commerce media, retail media networks, display, leads, and emerging performance channels.
  • Translate client business goals into integrated growth strategies that drive incremental revenue and efficiency—not just channel performance.
  • Develop clear strategic roadmaps that align investment, activation, and measurement to client objectives.

Client Leadership & Advisory

  • Elevate conversations within the client organization, gaining buy‑in from senior stakeholders and positioning CJ as a long‑term growth partner.
  • Lead strategic moments including quarterly planning, business reviews, and growth planning sessions with clarity and confidence.

Strategic Planning & Investment Leadership

  • Own growth planning, budget strategy, and channel investment recommendations across the Connected Commerce ecosystem.
  • Balance ambition with practicality—bringing bold ideas while grounding recommendations in clear business rationale.

Cross‑Team Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Media, Investment, Operations and other essential Lines of Business to ensure strategic intent translates into effective, integrated execution.
  • Provide clear strategic context and direction so partner teams can execute efficiently and confidently.

What Success Looks Like

  • Elevate CJ's role from affiliate partner to Connected Commerce advisor
  • Expand client adoption of new performance and commerce solutions
  • Enable strong cross‑team execution through clarity and leadership
  • Are trusted by clients to guide both near‑term performance and long‑term strategy

Key Skills & Attributes

  • Strong strategic thinker with the ability to connect data, trends, and client goals
  • Deep curiosity about commerce, media, and evolving performance ecosystems
  • Collaborative leader who brings teams together around shared outcomes

Qualification Description

  • Bachelor's Degree or commensurate work experience
  • 5 plus years of experience working in a marketing role—ideally digital performance marketing
  • Strong written and verbal communication and relationship skills
  • Proficient knowledge of the Microsoft suite of products, including Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days a week in office. CJ is the leader in Performance Marketing. We take pride in our innovative technology, comprehensive data solutions and our people. We equip our teams with advanced tools, training and career development opportunities all to provide modern solutions, strategies and support to deliver high quality results for our clients. We work in an enthusiastic, collaborative team setting that values outstanding performance.

We're a community of creative and passionate problem solvers who go the distance to tackle the tough questions, think creatively, and drive resourceful growth, for our clients—and ourselves. We foster and embody an inclusive and collaborative culture where diverse perspectives are sought, relationships are valued, and people feel accepted with a sense of belonging in expressing themselves authentically. We pride ourselves in having a workplace environment that values both work and play.

Why Our Workplace Stands Out Apart from offering competitive salaries, 401K matching, wellness programs, and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, we provide:

  • Flexible time off without the hassle of accrual
  • A generous number of paid holidays
  • Company-sponsored team-building events
  • An Employee Referral Program
  • Annual recognition awards
  • Hybrid work arrangements for optimal work-life balance
  • Parental bonding leave
  • Backup care options for children and elders
  • An employee discount program
  • International SOS program for global support
  • Business Resource Groups, where employees connect over shared interests to cultivate an engaging, inclusive environment

…and those are just a few of our great perks! Come join us and see what makes our company a great place to work.
