[Hiring] Group Director Core @Power Digital

Role Description

The Group Director, Core is Power Digital's senior client relationship and revenue leader for a portfolio of primarily small business, founder-led clients.

• Run a scalable, standardized system with foundational packages and repeatable playbooks.
• Coach Account Directors and their teams to operate as AI-Native Growth Directors.
• Decide which AI tools and workflows the division adopts.
• Shape your Division's go-to-market position and represent Power Digital in market.
