About the role

  • Develop, launch, and optimize performance campaigns across Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, and Display—owning channel strategy, execution, and iteration.
  • Leverage buyer-intent and first/third-party signals to sharpen targeting, improve conversion efficiency, and inform budget allocation.
  • Manage third-party sponsorships end to end: evaluate opportunities, negotiate, brief, launch, and report—activating our ICP across high-signal publications and communities.
  • Partner with Integrated Campaigns to plug paid channels into cross-channel motions that build brand and drive qualified pipeline.
  • Build and run account-based marketing (ABM) programs with regional marketing and Sales to engage and accelerate key accounts.
  • Analyze performance, attribution, and full-funnel metrics to uncover insights, prioritize experiments, and guide growth decisions.
  • Design and run A/B tests across creative, copy, audiences, bidding, and landing pages; scale winners quickly and retire underperformers.
  • Collaborate with Content/Creative to produce on-brand, high-performing ad assets and landing experiences that convert.
  • Own forecasting and pacing; allocate budgets across channels and campaigns to maximize ROI while hitting growth targets.
  • Partner with Analytics to build dashboards and reporting that communicate performance, learnings, and next steps to stakeholders.
  • Identify new growth levers—channels, partnerships, formats, and ad tech—pilot thoughtfully, and scale what proves out.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in performance marketing or digital acquisition with a track record of delivering measurable ROI.
  • Deep analytical chops; comfortable with data, experimentation, dashboards, and multi-touch attribution.
  • Hands-on expertise across major ads platforms (e.g., Google Ads, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube) and associated tooling.
  • Experience using intent data for targeting, segmentation, and budget optimization; proficient in A/B testing and conversion rate optimization.
  • Curiosity about and practical experience using AI to plan, launch, and optimize campaigns faster and smarter.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling—able to synthesize complex results for executives and collaborate cross-functionally.
  • Bias for action: rapid experimentation, iteration, and an owner’s mindset in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
Benefits
  • Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
  • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
  • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
  • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
