Digital Marketing Director

Position Title: Digital Marketing Director
Location: Alpharetta, GA
Reports to: CMO

Position Overview:

SoftWave is looking for a Director of Digital Marketing who knows how to run paid advertising and organic social strategy across today’s most important platforms — Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Reddit, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Google, and TikTok — and who can turn strong creative concepts into high-performing campaigns.

We can provide creative direction and core assets — but we need someone who can take what we give them, tailor it for each platform, post/manage it organically, launch paid campaigns, and optimize performance over time.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands that the best growth comes from combining platform-native organic content + performance-driven paid testing.

Responsibilities:
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.

• • • Paid Media ( Campaign Launch + Optimization)
    • Translate business goals into campaign structure: targeting, budgets, bidding, placements, and pacing
    • Own end-to-end execution: creative upload, audiences, optimization, scaling
    • Build, launch, and manage campaigns across:
      Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit, X (Twitter)
    • Organic Social Strategy + Execution
    • Post and manage organic content across the same platforms, ensuring content feels native (not copy/paste)
    • Repurpose provided creative into platform-specific organic formats:
      • short-form video edits / variations
      • captions, hooks, and CTAs
      • carousels, story-style posts, threads, etc.
    • Build lightweight content rhythms (weekly cadence) to support consistency and testing
    • Use organic performance data to inform paid creative (and vice versa)
    • Creative Adaptation (“Take the Creative and Do Your Magic”)
    • Take provided creative concepts/assets and improve performance by adjusting:
      • hooks, headlines, primary text, CTA
      • formatting by placement (feed, stories, reels, TikTok, etc.)
      • versions designed for each platform’s culture and user behavior
    • Provide strong feedback and recommendations on creative direction:
      • what angles to test
      • what formats win per platform
      • what to produce next to improve results
    • Testing + Performance Insights
    • Monitor KPIs like CTR, CPC, CPL, CAC, ROAS, engagement, and conversion rate
    • Run structured A/B tests weekly (creative, copy, audiences, placements)
    • Deliver clear weekly reporting: what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re testing next and why
    • Financial Responsibilities
    • Budget Management: Develop, manage, and allocate annual or project-based budgets across multiple digital channels (social, search, email, web).
    • ROI and Performance Measurement: Track and measure the ROI of all campaigns, ensuring maximum value and profitability.
    • Optimize ad spend and conversion rates to enhance profitability.
    • Drive revenue through performance marketing initiatives like SEO, SEM, PPC, and paid acquisition.
      Forecasting & Reporting: Proactively forecasting sales performance trends and preparing budget reports for executive stakeholders.
    • Bonus: SEO / GEO Alignment
    • We currently work with agencies supporting SEO and GEO, but we’d love someone who can: collaborate with those teams, identify content themes that support search visibility, and help align organic social with broader content strategy

Qualifications:
