My real passion lies in hands-on execution and campaign strategy, rather than team leadership or developing others. So I really don't want to be in a Director role at all and just want to aim for PMM. In your opinion, does that go against the usual path for career growth in product marketing?

It's not unusual at all. Many product marketers excel in execution and strategy rather than team management, and it's perfectly valid to pursue a career focused on those strengths rather than aiming for a director role.
