Markinuity | Remote (Atlanta Metro / Chattanooga / Upstate SC Preferred)
Markinuity is a boutique digital marketing agency specializing in home service businesses — the garage door companies, screen installers, commercial door dealers, and trade contractors that need to dominate their local markets. We're not a 200-person agency. We're a tight, results-obsessed team that moves fast, works closely with clients, and actually cares about their growth.
We're looking for a Director of Search & Performance Marketing to come in, own the search function, and help us expand into paid advertising services we're not currently offering. This isn't a "manage the existing playbook" role. This is a "help us build the next chapter" role.
If you're a Local SEO expert who also knows paid media — Google Ads, LSAs, social ads — and you want the title, the autonomy, and the upside that comes with actually moving the needle, keep reading.
The Reality of This Role
This is not a Fortune 500 job. You won't have a $2M ad budget to play with on day one.
You will have:
-
Real autonomy— this function is yours to build
-
Direct access to leadership— no layers, no politics
-
A niche you can become the expert in— home services local search is a specific, defensible expertise
-
Upside— we do profit sharing, and we mean it. If the agency grows because of what you build, you participate in that growth
-
Flexibility— this is a remote position
We prefer someone in the Atlanta metro, Chattanooga, or Upstate South Carolina/Clemson corridor who can come in for collaboration periodically. Fully remote candidates with exceptional credentials will be considered.
Compensation is a combination of salary, performance pay, and profit sharing.
Compensation:
$85,000 - $115,000 yearly
Responsibilities:

-
Stay ahead of algorithm updates and translate them into client-facing strategy

Paid Media (where we're growing):
