About the role: We are looking for a strategic, results-driven Senior Performance Marketing Manager to lead our EMEA performance marketing efforts and drive customer acquisition and business growth through Paid Media (paid search, paid social and other performance channels). This role will own the end-to-end strategy and execution of performance marketing campaigns for the EMEA region (UKI and Mainland EMEA), with a focus on building full funnel paid media campaigns, rigorous experimentation, optimization, and delivering measurable impact on pipeline and revenue. You'll play a key role in scaling our search ads and paid social campaigns across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Linkedin, Facebook, and experimenting with new performance channels.

The right candidate is both strategic and hands-on, analytical, and excited to uncover new growth opportunities while continuously improving cost-per-acquisition (CPA) and return on ad spend (ROAS) across multiple platforms. This is a high-impact role that’s critical to achieving our growth goals in a complex, multi-market environment, and an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves data-driven problem solving, and is motivated by owning outcomes from start to finish. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the UK, with a preference to London based candidates.

• Own end-to-end campaign strategy and execution - from ideation and audience targeting to ads trafficking, creative optimization and performance analysis.
• Use A/B testing and experimentation to continuously improve ad creative, audience targeting, and bidding strategies.
