Content Performance Manager

About Mous

We are Mous. (Pronounced mouse, not moose.) People deserve tech and lifestyle products that are fit for purpose, perform as promised, and empower them to be their best. That’s why we’re building the go-to brand for products that genuinely deliver. For over 10 years, we’ve pushed product performance to its limits, designing from first principles, validating through real-world testing, and investing millions in R&D. In parallel, we’ve built world‑class in‑house marketing capabilities, creating highly engaging, performance‑led content that proves what our products can do and resonates with a passionate, fast‑growing community around the brand.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Content Performance Manager to own the performance layer of our creative output. This is a high-accountability role. You will be responsible for translating performance data into creative direction, defining testing roadmaps, setting kill and scale criteria, and raising the standard of performance-driven content across paid channels. You will act as the bridge between creative production and commercial performance. Your decisions will directly influence CPA, conversion rates, and revenue efficiency. This role is designed to take ownership of day‑to‑day performance content decisions, enabling senior leadership to focus on long‑term strategy. You will work directly with the Content Strategy Lead and manage an international team of editors. The right person will find a clear pathway into senior leadership across content performance or growth.

You will be able to play a crucial role in the most important aspect of our business: the creation of world‑class content that drives performance marketing.
