- Partner cross-functionally with Brand, PMM, and Design to translate campaign objectives and performance insights into media strategy, creative requirements, testing plans, and actionable learnings.
- Shape the future of the portfolio by identifying emerging channels, technologies, and AI-enabled opportunities and bringing clear recommendations into quarterly and annual planning.
- Build scalable governance and operating standards across programmatic media, including QA, risk controls, and documentation.
Requirements

- Demonstrated experience owning a multi-channel media portfolio and significant budgets, including investment planning, forecasting, optimization, and scaling decisions.
- Deep knowledge of the programmatic ecosystem and major DSPs (e.g., DV360, The Trade Desk, or similar), including bidding, inventory, audience strategy, brand safety, and vendor management.
- Strong understanding of full-funnel B2B marketing and experience connecting awareness and consideration investments to downstream business outcomes.
- Advanced fluency in measurement, attribution, and incrementality, including experimentation design, lift studies, holdouts/geo tests.

Growth Marketing Director Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a growth marketing director in California?
Growth marketing director roles in California do not require a state-issued license or credential. Most hiring managers expect a bachelor's degree in marketing, business, or a related field, combined with progressive experience moving from individual contributor to team lead. California employers, particularly in tech and e-commerce, place heavy weight on demonstrated outcomes: retention improvements, CAC reduction, or revenue growth attributable to your work. Building expertise in product analytics and lifecycle marketing accelerates the path considerably.
How much do growth marketing directors make in California?
Growth marketing directors in California earn a median of about $193,620 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,370 for the lowest 10% to over $326,400 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire growth marketing directors in California?
Employers hiring growth marketing directors in California right now include Google, TikTok, and Samba TV, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. California's density of consumer tech, SaaS, and media companies means the role turns over at a relatively high rate, with both established public companies and well-funded startups posting openings throughout the year.
Which California cities have the most growth marketing director jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Mountain View have the most growth marketing director openings in California. San Francisco and the broader Bay Area lead because of the concentration of SaaS and consumer tech headquarters there, while Los Angeles draws demand from its e-commerce, streaming, and entertainment brands, and San Diego reflects growth from its biotech and direct-to-consumer sectors.
Are there remote growth marketing director jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 67% of growth marketing director openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the day-to-day work happens in dashboards, shared documents, and video calls. Strategy, campaign planning, and analytics work transfers cleanly to remote arrangements, though roles tied to brand events or in-person agency collaboration tend to require some office presence.
How can I get hired as a growth marketing director in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is to enter through a growth marketing manager or senior marketing analyst role, then build toward director-level scope. Large California tech employers like Salesforce, Adobe, and Google run associate product marketing and rotational marketing programs that develop early-career marketers. Candidates who invest in hands-on experience with paid acquisition, A/B testing, and attribution modeling alongside a portfolio of measurable results stand out. Certifications in Google Ads or analytics platforms add concrete credibility.
