Director Bi Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At CourtAvenue, an Associate Account Director (which we affectionately refer to as an Associate Director, Business Innovations) acts as a key client partner, ensuring seamless execution of business strategies and optimizing internal team processes. This pivotal role is the bridge between executional management and strategic leadership, focusing on driving day-to-day business success while actively developing the skills needed to tackle complex, high-level business challenges. The AD, BI is an exceptional communicator, highly organized, and committed to building strong, constructive relationships across client and internal teams.

This role sits on a commerce-focused account, partnering closely with a Group Director, BI and a cross-functional team to deliver integrated programs across digital, ecommerce, retail, shopper, and in-store. The ideal candidate is a commerce expert at heart — someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership instinctively, navigates ambiguity with confidence, and believes deeply in the power of being on-site with clients and teams.

We are focused on creating a best-in-class experience for our clients. The Associate Director, Business Innovations will be responsible for the following:

Client Partnership & Execution Focus:

• In this critical role, you are positioned as primary contact for some clients, leading both the strategic and executional part of the work (in partnership with client operations).

• For larger clients, you’ll support the Group Director in high-level strategic and financial conversations with senior-level clients (Sr. Brand Manager, VP/EVP) through co-led (2:1) interface.

• You will have the opportunity to work across a portfolio of commerce clients and will be able to champion client business needs and objectives within CourtAvenue, ensuring all team outputs align with agreed-upon execution goals.

• You’ll have the opportunity to proactively identify growth opportunities for clients and will be counted on to build meaningful relationships with them while ensuring that our team successfully delivers.

• Show up in person — walking the halls of the client’s office, building relationships across the client organization, and being a visible, trusted presence on the ground.

Strategic Development & Financial Acumen (Growth Focus):

• Strategy Support: This role is pivotal in building and honing business leadership skills. With the guidance of an account leader, you’ll actively develop the ability to operate independently on future strategic clients.

• Commerce Expertise: Bring a working knowledge of commerce program development — including website UX/UI design, content management, and shopper marketing — and translate that fluency into stronger client conversations and sharper team direction.

• Financial Learning: Support the Group Director in tracking project financials and business performance, focusing on learning the principles of holistic account financial management and profitability insights.

• New Business Support: Provide research and organizational support for new business proposals and pitches, without being responsible for owning or running the presentations.

Internal Process & Team Organization:

• Process Activation & Organization: Act as a key participant in internal workflow — you’ll partner closely with Client Operations to support the team in delivering world-class work efficiently and smoothly. Strong collaboration with ops partners is essential to success in this role.

• Facilitate and organize cross-functional communication and documentation across Strategy, Creative, Media, and Data teams to maintain project alignment.

• You’ll operate as a catalyst for good among the team, bringing detail orientation, enthusiasm and great ideas to the clients and team so we can create our best work together.

• 8+ years of progressive professional experience in digital, creative, media, or business consulting environments.

• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-faceted projects requiring alignment across numerous internal and external stakeholders.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly and persuasively.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related field preferred.

• Self-starter with a solutions-oriented mindset and the ability to navigate challenges and negotiations with professionalism.

• Comfortable owning your work end-to-end, moving at a fast pace, and operating effectively in ambiguity.

• A natural relationship builder who values in-person connection with clients, partners, and teams.

• Proven experience managing commerce programs, ideally including website UX/UI design, content management, and shopper marketing projects.

• Someone who is passionate about business, marketing and helping clients achieve their goals.

• Self-starter with a positive attitude and the ability to think on your feet.

• Ability to negotiate in a way that delivers mutually-beneficial results.

• Ability to navigate conflict and difficult situations with grace that also focuses on a positive outcome.
