About the RoleAs Performance Marketing Manager, you will own and lead our paid acquisition across Meta, Tik Tok, and Google - with a direct line to revenue. This isn't just about pulling levers in Ads Manager - though you'll do plenty of that. It's about owning the performance machine: knowing what to test, when to scale, when to kill, and how to build repeatable winners.
You'll work closely with our execs and growth team to create campaigns that drive serious revenue, while keeping a ruthless eye on efficiency. You'll be both operator and strategist - in the accounts daily, but with the brain to think bigger, faster, smarter.
If you're a restless builder who moves fast, sweats the detail, and gets energy from seeing the numbers move - you'll love it here.
