About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Director to build and scale Paid Media at ZoomInfo. This leader will take our strong B2B foundation and elevate it with a consumer-grade growth mindset inclusive of rapid experimentation, creative rigor, audience-first activation, and operational excellence.
This is a builder role. You will establish the operating system for how paid channels run, drive significantly higher testing velocity, and transform how we execute performance marketing in a modern, iterative, high-output way.
If you love fast cycles, love learning from data, and know how to push channel teams to think like B2C growth operators, this role is for you.

Apply a B2C growth lens:

- Micro-segmented audiences
- Fast, iterative experimentation
- Continuous message and offer variation
- Manage multi-million-dollar budgets with discipline while enabling smart, rapid testing

- Increase testing velocity across creative, landing pages, audiences, offers, and channels
- Reduce friction by introducing templates, modular workflows, and streamlined approvals
- Champion the use of GenAI (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, and other emerging tools) to transform paid media execution—enabling personalization at scale, rapid creative iteration, and AI-augmented decision-making.
- Pioneer new AI-driven strategies across targeting, messaging, platform management, and optimization to increase velocity, efficiency, and channel performance.
3. Paid Media Frameworks
Create and maintain the operating model for paid media execution:
- Campaign templates
- QA checklists
- Naming/taxonomy standards
- Routing & setup guidelines
- Bring consistency and quality across segments, regions, and teams
- Lead enablement for channel managers; equip them with the tools to execute with “consumer-grade” speed and quality
What You Bring
- 8–12+ years in Paid Media, Performance Marketing, Growth Marketing, or Acquisition
- Proven ability to build high-velocity testing systems and drive rapid experimentation
- Deep channel mastery with a creative sensibility and performance mindset
- Experience building frameworks, processes, and centralized standards
- Experience across both B2B and B2C environments strongly preferred
Comfort leading in fast-paced, dynamic environments and influencing cross-functional partners
Why This Role Matters
