Who You Will Be Working With

As a Performance Content Director, you’ll join PMG’s Performance Content and Creative teams—people who care deeply about making work that performs and feels true to the brand. You’ll partner day to day with creatives, performance media teams, and strategists who are focused on turning audience insight into messages that show up in the right places, at the right moments, with clear outcomes.

You’ll also work closely with teams who keep execution strong and measurable: Investment, Ad Ops, Data Science, and Analytics. Together, you’ll connect creative decisions to media delivery and results—so we can learn quickly, improve continuously, and scale what works across channels like Google, Meta, Amazon, and retail media partners.

Because this role sits at the intersection of creative and performance, you’ll be a steady connector—bringing clarity to cross-functional work, helping teams move from ideas to execution, and keeping the experience consistent across markets, platforms, and timelines. You’ll do all of this as a (title level) within (discipline), with room for us to align the exact leveling based on the right candidate.

What You Will Be Doing

• Set a clear direction for Performance Content at PMG, bringing together creative strategy, media delivery, and measurement into one connected approach.
• Lead initiatives across data-driven creative, dynamic creative optimization (DCO), personalization, retail commerce creative, and emerging AI-assisted content workflows.
• Use Alli, PMG’s proprietary platform, to help teams translate audience signals and performance insights into creative decisions—so messaging stays relevant, timely, and effective.
• Partner with client leaders to understand what success looks like, align on priorities and KPIs, and ensure creative and media plans support real business goals.
• Run regular working sessions with clients and internal teams to review performance, share learnings, and agree on what to test, adjust, or scale next.
• Build practical standards and playbooks for how performance content is planned, produced, approved, trafficked, and measured—so teams can move faster without sacrificing quality.
• Guide measurement and reporting approaches that show the impact of creative choices, including testing plans and readouts that are easy to understand and act on.
• Collaborate with Ad Ops and platform partners to ensure creative is delivered correctly (feeds, specs, tags, tracking), and help resolve issues that slow down performance.
• Identify opportunities to evolve Alli’s creative capabilities—especially where automation can reduce manual work and improve speed, consistency, and learning.
• Contribute to PMG’s external point of view through case studies, presentations, and thoughtful perspectives on where performance creative is headed.

• Strong fluency in data-driven creative concepts like DCO, modular creative systems, personalization approaches, and testing methods, without losing sight of brand voice and human connection.
• Confidence using modern tools (including AI-assisted workflows) to improve how teams ideate, produce, version, and learn, paired with good judgment about quality and brand safety.
