Performance Marketing Manager

The main aim of the role is to do things that Matter. As a highly proactive, trustworthy and autonomous member of the global Mattering team, you will help to support the marketing direction and drive business growth – ensuring that purpose is intertwined throughout.

As Performance Mattering Manager, you’ll be a hands-on performance marketer who loves turning ad spend into measurable growth. You have a sharp eye for what makes an ad stop the scroll - and you know how to make it convert too. Indirectly managing a pod of 3, you’ll shape strategy across several brands, run experiments and translate data into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders.

Our ideal candidate has worked across different industries and understands how to think strategically, while also being able to execute work quickly. You’re comfortable interrogating a bidding strategy and know how to hold a brand standard across every paid touchpoint. We’d be especially interested in hearing from candidates who have experience working internationally, as our teams are spread across the US, UK and India. We’re a fast paced, collaborative, goal-focused team.
