Performance Marketing Manager

Job description

Job Title: Performance Marketing Manager

Employment Type: Full-Time (Remote)
Working Hours: U.S. Time Zones

About the Role

We’re hiring a Performance Marketing Manager who knows how to turn budget into pipeline. This is not a “set it and forget it” role. You’ll own strategy, execution, and optimization across paid channels — with clear accountability for results.

You’ll manage multi-platform campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Reddit, TikTok, and emerging channels. The goal is simple: generate qualified leads and profitable growth while improving efficiency month over month.

If you think in funnels, obsess over metrics, and test relentlessly — this role is for you.

What You’ll Own

1. Paid Media Strategy & Execution

  • Build and manage performance campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, X, Reddit, TikTok, and other paid channels.
  • Design full-funnel strategies for B2B lead generation and sales growth.
  • Launch campaigns from scratch — structure, targeting, tracking, creative direction, and optimization.
  • Write high-converting ad copy and collaborate on creative production.
  • Align messaging across paid, organic, and content efforts.

2. Optimization & Scaling

  • Monitor campaigns daily and make proactive adjustments.
  • Run structured A/B tests across creatives, audiences, bidding strategies, and landing pages.
  • Optimize budgets, bids, and targeting to improve CPA and ROAS.
  • Identify scaling opportunities while maintaining efficiency.
  • Stay ahead of algorithm shifts, privacy updates, and platform best practices.

3. Analytics & Reporting

  • Track and analyze performance metrics: CTR, CPC, CPL, CPA, ROAS, CVR.
  • Use Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and platform dashboards to evaluate attribution and funnel performance.
  • Build clear performance reports with insights — not just numbers.
  • Translate data into actionable strategy shifts.

4. Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Work closely with marketing and sales to align campaigns with revenue goals.
  • Provide data-backed creative feedback to improve messaging and visuals.
  • Contribute to broader growth initiatives across paid, content, and lifecycle marketing.

Required Experience

  • Minimum 3+ years of hands-on paid media management across Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn (platform-native experience required; not agency oversight only).
  • Proven track record of reducing CPA and scaling profitable campaigns with documented results (ROAS improvement, budget scaling, CPL reduction).
  • Strong B2B lead generation experience with measurable pipeline impact.
  • Deep understanding of PPC fundamentals — bidding strategies, quality score, audience segmentation, keyword strategy, retargeting, and funnel optimization.
  • Advanced knowledge of attribution models and conversion tracking, including pixel setup, event tracking, UTM structuring, and multi-touch attribution.
  • Hands-on experience with Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Tag Manager — must be comfortable auditing and troubleshooting tracking setups.
  • Ability to independently launch campaigns from scratch (strategy → build → tracking → optimization → reporting).
  • Strong ad copywriting skills focused on conversion, testing angles, and audience psychology.

Preferred Experience

  • Familiarity with CRM and automation platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo).
  • Funnel marketing and advanced audience segmentation experience.
  • Google Ads and/or Meta certifications.
  • Experience managing multiple client accounts or large ad portfolios.
  • Creative tools proficiency (Canva, Adobe Creative Suite).

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Review dashboards and performance trends.
  • Adjust bids, budgets, targeting, and creatives.
  • Launch new campaigns or experiments.
  • Coordinate with design and content teams.
  • Analyze funnel data and identify bottlenecks.
  • Prepare performance insights and recommendations.

Execution. Testing. Optimization. Repeat.

KPIs You’ll Be Measured On

  • Click-Through Rate (CTR)
  • Cost Per Lead (CPL) / Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)
  • Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)
  • Conversion Rate
  • Lead or Revenue Growth
  • Budget Efficiency

Performance is measurable. So is success.

Interview Process

  1. Application Review – Experience and alignment assessment.
  2. Initial Interview – Paid media background and strategic thinking discussion.
  3. Technical Interview – Campaign deep dive and real-world scenario evaluation.
  4. Final Interview – Leadership alignment and long-term fit conversation.
