Leap Event Technology is a remote-friendly company. This position is open to any candidate in North America.

WHO WE ARE

Leap is revolutionizing the event technology industry by empowering organizers to create experiences that are more engaging, more thrilling, and more impactful than ever before. Our all-in-one suite of ticketing, mobile apps, experiential marketing, and patron management tools, combined with our expert marketing services, allows organizers to drive nonstop engagement and capture all customer data from their entire event. That’s why iconic brands like New York Comic Con, Bonnaroo, Illuminarium, and the NHL choose us to power their events.

We are a diverse and passionate team of event experts and fans who are dedicated to helping organizers transform their event experiences. Like our clients, we live and breathe events. We take our passion, knowledge, and hands-on experience and apply it to our work every single day. With offices in Dallas, Montreal, and Sydney, and an expansive remote workforce across the globe, our diverse backgrounds give us the experience needed to create incredible events for any industry, anywhere in the world.

We’re looking for a Performance Marketing Director who’s still close to the work - someone ready to roll up their sleeves in the short term to help us build paid channels, while also architecting the strategy, processes, and standards that drive quality and scale. This role is a unique opportunity to build something from the ground up. You won’t just run paid media - you’ll help define what the media function looks like at our agency as we grow. That means designing the team structure, setting the operational blueprint, and establishing the media practice that will serve as a core driver of client growth and agency success.

Sounds interesting? Let’s talk.

AS A PERFORMANCE MARKETING DIRECTOR, YOU WILL

Develop and lead performance-driven paid media strategies that deliver business outcomes, not just media metrics
Leverage core media platforms (Google, Bing, Programmatic, Social) to plan, buy, and optimize campaigns—favoring tech-enabled, platform-driven execution over manual processes
Actively participate in sales pitches, lead client conversations, and build media models that map directly to business goals and revenue growth
Manage media to clear ROI and customer acquisition cost (CAC) targets, not just CPMs and CTRs
Build strong client relationships and provide strategic guidance at both the channel and business levels
Collaborate across disciplines within the agency to integrate media with creative, data, and broader marketing strategy
Recruit, train, and lead internal teams while establishing best practices and workflows for scale

EXPERIENCE & SKILLS

Recent experience working at an advertising agency is required, with a strong understanding of agency operations, client management, and cross-functional collaboration
Proven track record of managing 4- to 7-figure media budgets with accountability to ROI and sales outcomes
Previous management of direct reports and leadership of cross-functional teams
Demonstrated success using platforms and technology to execute, optimize, and scale paid media - ideally with hands-on keyboard experience, not just managing partners or vendors
Comfort in sales environments: crafting proposals, presenting strategies, and helping close new business

BENEFITS

We offer

Medical, Dental, Vision, and Voluntary benefits
Generous PTO
Paid parental leave (following 12 months of continuous employment)
