Desirable

• We’re hiring a cross-channel Sr Performance Marketing Manager who is equal parts strategist, analyst, operator, and partner manager. You will own end-to-end media planning, buying (via agencies and platforms), optimization, and measurement across Video (TV, CTV, OLV), Audio, Display/Programmatic, Direct Mail, and other local media.
• You have experience with traditional channels —with deep, hands-on expertise in digital media. You are a flexible jack-of-all-trades who can zoom from long-term strategy into in-the-weeds execution to deliver measurable business outcomes.
• Critically, you know how to “build brand through a performance lens,” connecting upper-funnel investments to near-term impact and long-term value creation
• Lead cross-channel strategy and plans: define channel roles, audience frameworks, geo strategy, flighting, and mix across TV/CTV/OLV, Audio (streaming and terrestrial), Display/Programmatic, Direct Mail, and other local media —anchored in digital excellence
• Manage agencies and platform partners: write briefs, set KPIs/SLAs, negotiate rates, push for inventory optimization, enforce QA standards, and ensure brand safety and suitability
• Build brand through a performance lens: architect brand investments and creative systems that drive efficient reach, quality frequency, brand lift, and measurable downstream outcomes (site traffic, qualified leads, acquisition)
• Drive performance and learning velocity: design and run a rigorous test-and-learn roadmap (audiences, creative, supply, formats, bidding, landing experiences); scale winners, sunset underperformers, and codify learnings
• Own budgets and pacing: forecast, allocate, and dynamically rebalance spend; connect investment to acquisition and brand outcomes; communicate returns, trade-offs, and risks crisply
• Elevate measurement: lead incrementality and geo experiments; contribute inputs for MMM; maintain attribution hygiene; partner with Analytics and Data Science on experiment design and decision frameworks
• Improve creative effectiveness: define specs and messaging frameworks by channel; partner with Brand/Creative on concepting, iteration, and refresh cadence
• Strengthen data and tooling: champion single source-of-truth dashboards; reduce drift and duplicate tooling; leverage automation/AI to eliminate manual toil in planning, reporting and trafficking
• Communicate and influence: deliver clear reporting, insights, and recommendations to senior stakeholders; translate data into action and align cross-functional teams on next steps
• How We Measure Success
• Efficiency and impact: CAC/CPA, CPQL, incremental contribution, brand lift, quality reach/frequency
• Operational excellence: pacing accuracy, testing velocity and iteration speed, creative refresh cadence, QA/brand safety adherence
• Strategic influence: clarity of media strategy, improvements to the partner/tooling ecosystem, and durable cross-functional alignment
