Director of Paid Media

  • Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
  • Remote: Remote
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52516

Director of Paid Media 

We’re partnering with Harley-Davidson, an iconic, globally recognized consumer brand with deep heritage and one of the most emotionally connected customer bases in its category. The business operates through a dealer-driven model, requiring tight alignment between national marketing strategy and local execution.

The company is currently evolving its marketing approach, moving from a historically performance-heavy model to a more integrated, full-funnel strategy that better connects brand storytelling with measurable business outcomes.

The Opportunity

This is a critical role in modernizing how media drives growth.

Today, media has been heavily focused on lower-funnel performance metrics. The opportunity is to build a more balanced, full-funnel media strategy, one that supports brand building while still delivering measurable results at the dealer level.

You will play a central role in connecting national campaigns to local impact, while helping the organization think differently about measurement, attribution, and media effectiveness.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the development and execution of a full-funnel media strategy across digital, social, search, programmatic, and video

  • Manage and optimize a significant media investment, ensuring both efficiency and impact

  • Translate brand and product priorities into clear, actionable media plans

  • Connect national media efforts to dealer-level outcomes and performance

  • Evolve attribution and measurement approaches to better capture long-term and full-journey impact

  • Partner closely with brand, creative, retail, and analytics teams to deliver integrated campaigns

  • Lead external agency partners and ensure strong strategic and executional alignment

What Success Looks Like

  • Media strategy evolves from primarily lower-funnel to true full-funnel orchestration

  • Improved ability to connect media investment to both brand and business outcomes

  • Stronger alignment between national campaigns and dealer-level performance

  • More sophisticated use of data, testing, and measurement

  • Cross-functional teams operate in a more integrated and collaborative way

  • Media becomes a strategic driver of growth, not just a support function

Ideal Background

  • 10–15+ years of experience in paid media, performance marketing, or integrated media strategy

  • Experience managing large-scale media budgets

  • Deep expertise across modern media channels and platforms

  • Strong understanding of full-funnel strategy and attribution models

  • Experience working within complex or distributed business models (dealer, retail, franchise, etc.)

  • Background in either in-house brand environments or leading agencies

Who Thrives Here

  • Strategic thinkers who are also hands-on problem solvers

  • Individuals comfortable navigating ambiguity and change

  • Leaders who collaborate effectively across teams and functions

  • People who balance data-driven thinking with practical execution

 

Why This Role

  • Opportunity to help build a modern media function within an iconic brand

  • High-impact role with visibility across marketing and leadership

  • Chance to shape how media contributes to both brand and business growth

  • A role that blends strategy, analytics, and execution
