Director of Digital Product & Delivery Lead

The Director of Digital Product & Delivery Lead is the strategic and operational bridge between clients, account teams, and delivery teams. The person in this role helps define what should be built, why it matters, and how to shape the smartest path to delivery, including identifying value-added options beyond the obvious solution. They will lead a team and bring a modern, flexible product mindset to an agency environment where priorities move quickly and technical solutions often extend beyond standard martech platforms.

This person should act as a trusted guide who helps clients and account teams make strong decisions about scope, sequencing, tradeoffs, and opportunity areas. They should have an ability to simplify complexity and create confidence in fast-moving environments, and be comfortable balancing strategy, business analysis, and production leadership while keeping the team focused on outcomes, quality, and speed.

• Lead the planning and coordination of digital initiatives that may include custom builds, integrations, platforms, and experiences beyond standard martech tools.

• Ensure deliverables are aligned to business outcomes, user needs, and agency quality standards.
• Support client presentations, internal alignment, and senior-level recommendations.
• Build a culture of modern product thinking, accountability, and confidence in ambiguity.
