Job Description

Directive Consulting is the leading B2B marketing agency for companies that are optimized for metrics that don't move the business. With over a decade of expertise and 420+ B2B brands behind us, we know what real results look like. We operate through 3 divisions: Performance, Communications, and Commerce, each built to share intelligence and align on revenue. Our methodology, DiscoverabilityOS™, aligns brand and demand to guide your ICP to choose you across every decision point. Across Technology, Industrial, and Services verticals, that system spans everything from Paid Media and Content Marketing, to PR and Paid Social, to Marketplace and Lifecycle Marketing.
At Directive, we're always looking to connect with talented people who care about work that actually counts. As we grow across all 3 divisions, we're seeking forward-thinking people who thrive in fast-paced environments, are obsessed with analytics and storytelling, and are ready to make their mark doing B2B marketing that actually means something.

Overview

The Strategist, Shopping & Marketplace owns the strategy and performance of Directive Commerce's two highest-impact practice areas: Shopping (feed-driven Google and Bing) and Marketplace (Amazon Seller Central, Vendor Central, and emerging B2B marketplaces like Shopify).

This role is built for someone who understands that B2B commerce is structurally different from DTC. High-SKU catalogs, tiered pricing, MAP enforcement, channel conflict, are not edge cases. They are the core problem.

The Strategist owns multiple client engagements in the $15K–$30K+ retainer range, directs Specialist execution, and contributes to the methodology that scales across the practice.
