Full Job Description
WHY DEPT®? We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA. We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter. At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build. THE ROLE: As an Account Lead, Paid Social, you are a strategic paid media leader with a proven ability to manage complex, full-funnel paid social programs end to end. You excel at developing and executing advanced paid social strategies, building and leading high-performing teams, and translating performance insights into clear, compelling roadmaps and client-ready narratives. Your leadership blends analytical rigor, creative thinking, and a relentless focus on performance excellence—driving both client success and sustainable agency growth. As a trusted mentor and collaborative leader, you foster strong team cohesion and unlock individual potential through hands-on coaching and thoughtful guidance. You take a deep-dive approach to onboarding and development, helping new team members quickly understand client priorities, business objectives, platform best practices, and creative testing frameworks. In this role, you set the standard for paid social excellence—driving profitability, elevating strategic thinking, and empowering teams to consistently deliver outstanding results. While DEPT® is a remote-first company, this role requires candidates to be located in either the Mountain or Pacific time zones. WHAT YOU’LL DO: Lead channel-specific paid social strategy
