Job Level
About the role
- We are scaling from €80M to €500M+. This won’t happen with administrators — it happens with doers.
- You take overall responsibility for our performance marketing: 5 teams, true P&L ownership, and the mission to make this area a growth engine.
- You don’t wait for instructions. You analyze, decide, execute — and course-correct quickly.
- You build and lead five high-performance teams: Meta, SEA, CRM, Marketplace and Onsite — both disciplinary and technical leadership — and you establish a culture of excellence.
- P&L responsibility for our Other Own Brand shops (Primum, Müllers Naturhof, petsPremium) and the marketplace business.
- You manage €8M+ in ad spend and scale to €30M+ with clear CLV/CAC ratios, identifying levers for growth.
- You are responsible for the performance channels of our focus brands: Wolfsblut, Wildes Land and Arden Grange.
- You help drive the creative engine: data feedback to creative, testing roadmaps for creatives.
- Technical and strategic ownership for the entire Online Sales & Performance Marketing area.
- You scale results, not just headcount: you identify and implement AI tools and automations.
Requirements
- Several years of leadership experience in performance marketing with measurable results — not theory, but proven scaling.
- You make fast decisions using micro-learnings, work hypothesis-driven, and continuously challenge assumptions — speed beats perfection.
- You see AI not as a gimmick but as a decisive competitive advantage (force multiplier).
- You have experience deploying tech solutions for operational excellence.
- You address problems when they arise — not only when they escalate.
- You don't shy away from difficult conversations, but always remain constructive.
- Numbers are your language. You spot anomalies in dashboards before others do.
- You have proven you can not only survive in complex organizations but leverage them to achieve your goals.
- You understand the relationship between creative and performance — and can manage both.
- You win debates with arguments and data, not with office politics.
Benefits
- Responsible, exciting and varied tasks with plenty of scope for shaping your role in a dynamic company that values flat hierarchies and an open, relaxed working atmosphere where everyone uses the informal "you".
- A friendly, open team of around 340 employees in Munich, Leipzig and Albourne (UK) with several lovely office dogs at our locations.
- Flexible working hours (based on trust-based working hours), home office options including a contribution to your home-office setup, and the possibility to work from abroad for several months.
- 28 days of annual leave and the option to take up to 20 days of unpaid leave as well as special leave!
- Various internal and external development opportunities that you can choose independently according to your interests.
- Various employee discounts for humans and pets!
- Regular team, company and Family & Friends events.
- Relax in our social area, which features a foosball table, or challenge your colleagues on our cozy sofa area to a Mario Kart battle (or another Nintendo Switch game)!
- Our office offers a high-quality, fully equipped kitchen where you can cook or bake great cakes!
- Coffee, cocoa, tea and other cool soft drinks such as water and juices, as well as fresh fruit, light snacks and a well-stocked sweets drawer are available to you free of charge.
- Many more great benefits that we will be happy to introduce to you during the recruitment process!
