CJ connects brands with these publishers, creating valuable resources for shoppers like you. 

Job Description

The Client Strategy Manager is responsible for leading Connected Commerce strategy for a portfolio of clients, helping them unlock incremental growth across affiliate, commerce media, and emerging performance channels.

This role serves as the primary strategic advisor to clients-owning growth narratives, investment strategy, and longterm planning-while partnering with Media, Investment, and Operations to bring integrated Connected Commerce solutions to life. Client Strategy Managers elevate the conversation beyond "affiliate as a tactic" toward commerce growth as a business driver.

 Responsibilities

Connected Commerce Strategy & Growth

• Own the Connected Commerce strategy for assigned clients, spanning affiliate, commerce media, retail media networks, display, leads, and emerging performance channels.
• Translate client business goals into integrated growth strategies that drive incremental revenue and efficiency-not just channel performance.
• Develop clear strategic roadmaps that align investment, activation, and measurement to client objectives.

 

Client Leadership & Advisory

• Elevate conversations within the client organization, gaining buyin from senior stakeholders and positioning CJ as a longterm growth partner.
• Lead strategic moments including quarterly planning, business reviews, and growth planning sessions with clarity and confidence.

 

Strategic Planning & Investment Leadership

• Own growth planning, budget strategy, and channel investment recommendations across the Connected Commerce ecosystem.
• Balance ambition with practicality-bringing bold ideas while grounding recommendations in clear business rationale.

 

CrossTeam Collaboration

• Partner closely with Media, Investment, Operations and other essential Lines of Business to ensure strategic intent translates into effective, integrated execution.
• Provide clear strategic context and direction so partner teams can execute efficiently and confidently.

 

What Success Looks Like

• Elevate CJ's role from affiliate partner to Connected Commerce advisor
• Expand client adoption of new performance and commerce solutions
• Enable strong crossteam execution through clarity and leadership
• Are trusted by clients to guide both nearterm performance and longterm strategy

Qualifications

Key Skills & Attributes

• Strong strategic thinker with the ability to connect data, trends, and client goals
• Deep curiosity about commerce, media, and evolving performance ecosystems
• Collaborative leader who brings teams together around shared outcomes
• Bachelor's Degree or commensurate work experience 
• 5 plus years of experience working in a marketing role-ideally digital performance marketing 
• Strong written and verbal communication and relationship skills 
• Proficient knowledge of the Microsoft suite of products, including Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
