You will spearhead performance marketing initiatives across platforms like Search, Social, and Programmatic, taking end-to-end ownership of account structures, bid/buying strategies, creative testing, and landing page optimization.

  • Foster a High-Performing Team: Mentor channel analysts and manage relationships with external agencies to drive accountability, alignment, and outstanding performance outcomes.
  • Champion Innovation: Promote a culture of testing and experimentation by leveraging a hypothesis-driven approach to uncover optimization opportunities that elevate acquisition efficiency and user experience.
  • Stay Ahead of the Curve: Act as the go-to expert on evolving consumer behavior, competitor activity, and cutting-edge tools in media buying, personalization, and marketing attribution.

Qualifications
  • Experience: 6+ years of hands-on DTC paid marketing experience, including at least 2 years in-house at a high-growth consumer brand. A strong background in Paid Search, Paid Social, and Programmatic media buying is essential.
  • Creative Vision: Demonstrated success managing a fast-paced, high-quality ad creative process that balances data insights with emerging trends.
  • Analytical Expertise: Exceptional ability to synthesize and interpret complex data sets, uncover actionable insights, and develop models to inform decision-making.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and persuasively to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Proven track record of influencing cross-functional teams and senior leaders.
  • Innovative Mindset: Proactive and forward-thinking, with a strong grasp of industry trends, emerging technologies, and advanced attribution tools.

Why Join Us?
  • High-Impact Role: Take ownership of a critical function in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Collaborative Culture: Work with a team of passionate, talented professionals who value innovation, creativity, and data-driven results.
  • Cutting-Edge Tools: Gain access to advanced platforms and resources to execute impactful strategies.
