Senior Performance Marketing Manager - Crypto Gambling

A young and growing crypto iGaming startup that’s redefining the future of gaming with blockchain technology and decentralised economies is looking for a Senior Performance Marketing Manager to join the team. Their mission is to create innovative, immersive experiences for players while integrating crypto in ways that push the envelope. As a young and dynamic team, they are looking for someone who knows how to navigate the high-stakes world of paid acquisition, crypto-native audiences, and the nuances of the gambling vertical.

Role Overview

As the Senior Performance Marketing Manager, you’ll lead and scale their global paid acquisition efforts across multiple channels, with a core focus on acquiring high-LTV players for our crypto gambling partners. This is a senior, strategic, and hands-on role — perfect for someone who’s not afraid to get in the weeds, optimise well, and scale fast.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and lead paid acquisition strategies across channels: Google Ads (where possible), native, programmatic, display, pop-under, push, and Telegram/crypto-focused media buying
• Identify and scale high-performing campaigns targeting crypto-native gambling audiences
• Manage six-figure+ monthly ad budgets with a laser focus on CPA, ROAS, and LTV
• Work closely with creative, landing page, and funnel optimisation teams to iterate quickly and drive conversions
• Build and manage relationships with networks, affiliates, and third-party ad tech vendors
• Run competitor research, market analysis, and campaign benchmarking
• Track, analyse, and report on performance KPIs using visualisation platforms
• Stay on top of trends in crypto, iGaming, ad fraud, and emerging acquisition channels (especially in Web3)

We’re looking for a Senior Performance Marketing Manager with:

• Extensive experience in performance marketing, with experience in crypto, gambling, or high-risk verticals
• Deep understanding of paid media buying in both Web2 and Web3 ecosystems
• Proven track record of scaling paid campaigns profitably
• Experience with native ad platforms (e.g., Taboola, Outbrain, other), programmatic, and crypto-specific channels (e.g., Coinzilla, Bitmedia)
• Familiarity with compliance, ad cloaking, GEO targeting, and ad account risk mitigation in gambling verticals
• Advanced analytics skills and experience working with conversion tracking, postback URLs, and affiliate platforms
• Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable working in fast-paced, performance-driven environments

Nice to Have:

• Experience working directly with or promoting crypto casinos / betting platforms
• Understanding of on-chain analytics, wallets, and DeFi user behaviour
• Strong network in the crypto and gambling ad space

What’s on Offer:

• Competitive compensation + performance-based bonuses
• Full ownership of your growth channel(s)
• Opportunity to shape a growing team and scale acquisition globally
• Freedom to test, fail, and scale fast — backed by a team that knows how to win
