Green was born in 1927 to a Jewish family in Los Angeles. She moved to New York City to work in advertising after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley.

She was a copywriter at Seventeen and then worked at LC Gumbinner Agency. Green started her career with the Doyle Dane Bernbach agency under Phyllis Robinson. In 1969, she started her own firm, Green Dolmatch, which became Paula Green Advertising, and which had clients such as Goya Foods, for whom it devised the slogan "Goya Oh Boy-a."
