About the role

We're looking for a Performance Marketing Manager who can build and scale our demand generation engine from the ground up. This is a high-ownership role—you'll own funnel strategy, campaign execution, and P&L accountability across acquisition, conversion, and acceleration. You report to the VP of Marketing and work directly with Sales, RevOps, and Product to drive pipeline and revenue.

In a startup-scale environment, that means you wear multiple hats. You're running campaigns, optimizing budget spend, forecasting pipeline impact, and mentoring emerging marketers on the team. You move fast, make decisions with incomplete data, and iterate based on what the numbers tell you. You're not waiting for perfect insights—you're shipping, learning, and compounding wins.

What You'll Do

• Funnel Ownership & Strategy: Own one or more funnel stages end-to-end—strategy, campaign mix, KPI definition, and forecasting. You'll define what success looks like and be accountable for hitting it.

• Campaign Execution: Build and run multi-channel programs (paid, email, SEO, content, ABM, web) that drive acquisition and conversion. You'll work cross-functionally to keep efforts aligned and momentum high.

• Budget Stewardship: Manage performance marketing spend, make real-time allocation decisions, negotiate vendor terms, and report ROI to leadership. You understand CAC, LTV, payback period, and what moves the needle.

• Sales Partnership: Be the connective tissue between Marketing and Sales. You'll own funnel health reviews, and ensuring sales has what it needs to close faster.

• Analytics & Forecasting: Track what matters. You'll set up dashboards, forecast pipeline impact, and use data to inform next-month strategy—not just report on last month's performance.

About you

• You've built demand gen at a startup. You know what it's like to wear multiple hats, launch without perfect tooling, and grow pipeline with scrappy creativity and rigor. You've seen what breaks first and know how to fix it.

• 6+ years in B2B growth or performance marketing, with at least 2+ years at a startup or early-scale company (Series A–C stage).

• You're analytical and action-oriented. You don't just analyze—you forecast, test, and optimize. You're comfortable with ambiguity and comfortable making decisions without perfect data.

• You know the marketing tech stack. CRM, marketing automation, analytics, attribution tools—you can navigate them and know their limits.

• You've moved the needle across multiple channels: ABM, paid media, email, content, SEO, lifecycle marketing, conversion rate optimization. You have a point of view on what works and when.

• You communicate clearly and think strategically. You can explain a campaign rationale to Sales in 2 minutes and write a detailed post-mortem without someone asking. You don't oversell ideas—you sell with data.

• You care about outcomes, not vanity metrics. Pipeline, revenue, and deal velocity are what matter. You make decisions based on those, not impressions or engagement.
