The Problem
Lots of Activity. No One Owns the Result.
Freelancers and agencies each run a channel, and the founder is left to connect the dots. Hire someone accountable for the whole plan.
01
Channels in Silos
Paid, SEO, email and social each report their own wins, and nobody owns the total.
02
Budget Without a Plan
Spend gets moved on instinct instead of on cost per lead, CAC and payback.
03
Founder as CMO
You’re managing the freelancers, approving creative and writing the reports.
The Role
What a Strong Digital Marketing Manager Owns
Strategy, budget and execution across the marketing mix.
01
Channel Strategy
Which channels to scale, test or cut, based on the numbers.
02
Budget Management
Monthly budget allocation against CAC, ROAS and pipeline targets.
03
Managing Specialists
Briefs and oversight for media buyers, designers, writers and agencies.
04
Campaign Planning
Launch calendars, offers and messaging tied to business goals.
05
Funnel & Conversion
Landing pages, tracking and conversion rate improvements across the funnel.
06
Leadership Reporting
A weekly view of spend, leads, pipeline and revenue for the founder.

How We Screen
Plans They Owned. Numbers They Hit.
We look for managers who still understand the platforms.
01
Define the Seat
Strategy only or hands-on too? Team size? B2B pipeline or eCommerce revenue?
02
Review a Plan
Ask them to walk through a marketing plan they owned and how it performed.
03
Test Budget Thinking
Give them a budget and three channels. How would they split it, and why?
04
Test Leadership
Ask how they’d brief and manage a specialist who’s missing targets.

Hiring a Marketing Manager?

If your marketing manager also owns events, PR or trade marketing, tell us. We write the role around the work you actually need done, then recruit for it.
If you need someone to own brand and positioning rather than channels, tell us. That’s a different role, and we’ll recruit for it separately.

Questions
Digital Marketing Manager Hiring FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a Digital Marketing Manager?
Our Pricing Guide doesn’t track this title separately. The closest tracked role, Media Buyer, earns $2,500–$4,500 a month depending on seniority. We benchmark each search. That’s the person’s pay, not HireUA’s fee.
Is a Digital Marketing Manager the same as a Marketing Manager?
Usually, yes. Most marketing manager roles today are digital: they own the plan, the budget and the channels. If yours also covers events, PR or offline marketing, tell us and we’ll recruit for the full scope.
Manager or Digital Marketing Specialist?
A Digital Marketing Specialist executes campaigns. A Manager owns the plan, the budget and the specialists. If you don’t have a team yet, a hands-on Manager can do both for a while.
Can they manage our agency or freelancers?
Yes. Managing outside partners, setting briefs and holding them to targets is a core part of the job.
Can they run the paid ads themselves?
Hands-on managers often can. If paid media is most of the spend, see our Media Buyer page.
How quickly can I interview candidates?
Qualified candidates are presented within 5 days of kickoff. Total time to hire depends on how quickly you interview and decide.
How does HireUA charge?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.
How much can I save compared with hiring locally?
Clients save up to 82% compared with hiring locally. The exact number depends on the role, the seniority and the market we recruit from.
