[Hiring] Director of Growth Systems @Fountain Forward

Role Description

This is a remote position. This role exists to build, improve, scale, and govern the systems that enable Fountain Forward's Ad Strategists and Specialist teams to consistently help dealerships sell more cars. The Director of Growth Systems is not primarily responsible for individual dealership growth execution, and is not a people-management seat over the Ads Department's specialist tiers. Instead, this role owns the infrastructure, automation, quality control, attribution, traffic frameworks, and scalability systems that the Ads Department runs on top of.

• Own Fountain Forward's advertising, traffic, attribution, automation, and growth operating systems.
• Build scalable systems that improve dealership performance through speed, accountability, efficiency, and operational excellence.
• Ensure that the Ads Department has the tools, automation, reporting, quality control systems, and attribution clarity needed to execute growth strategies effectively.
• Focus heavily on scalability, process optimization, quality control, AI implementation, automation, and replication of high-performing systems across all dealer accounts.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of digital marketing / paid media experience, with at least 3+ years in a leadership role specifically overseeing paid media, performance marketing, or growth operations teams.
• 3+ years directly managing paid media team members (media buyers, specialists, team leads, or channel managers).
• Experience managing or overseeing multi-account paid media operations, preferably in an agency, franchise, multi-location, or automotive environment.
• Proven experience across Meta Ads and Google Ads.
• Experience overseeing at least $100k+ in monthly ad spend or managing paid media systems across 20+ client accounts/locations.
• Experience building or enforcing SOPs, launch checklists, QA processes, naming conventions, reporting standards, or audit routines.
• Strong understanding of attribution beyond platform metrics.
• Experience using dashboards, reports, and performance data to identify execution gaps, workflow issues, training needs, and recurring errors.
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Analytics, Creative, Operations, Tech/Innovation, and client-facing teams.
• Strong communication skills.
• A demonstrated track record of setting your own direction and priorities as a leader.

Requirements

• Automotive experience is preferred, not required.
• Experience managing managers or developing senior specialists into stronger leaders.
• Experience with call tracking, CRM attribution, offline sales matching, or lead quality analysis.
• Experience using AI or automation tools for reporting, QA, budget pacing, workflow alerts, or operational efficiency.

• Remote-First Culture: Work from home—or anywhere in the world.
