Performance Marketing Manager

Identify, pitch and test new acquisition channels (e.g. social, affiliate, marketplaces, retail media, AI-driven ad platforms) with a clear, ROI-led test-and-learn framework.

Set up rigorous test structures with clear success criteria, and make swift swap/scale decisions based on the data.

Build a channel roadmap that balances proven, reliable performance (paid search, SEO) with disciplined exploration of what's next.

Own the performance marketing budget and be directly accountable for ROI across all channels you manage.

Reconcile marketing-reported performance against actual revenue and margin outcomes, working closely with commercial/finance and analytics.

Report regularly to senior stakeholders on channel performance, budget efficiency, and the commercial case for future investment or reallocation.

Proven experience managing paid search at a meaningful budget/scale, with a track record of improving ROI over time.

Curiosity and early hands-on experience (or strong appetite to build expertise) in GEO / AI search visibility — this is a fast-moving space and we don't expect a finished expert, but we do expect genuine interest and a fast learning curve.

Solid working knowledge of technical SEO fundamentals and experience briefing or working alongside development teams.

A test-and-learn mindset: comfortable proposing new channels, setting up rigorous tests, and being disciplined about killing what doesn't work.

Strong commercial and analytical skills — confident working with data, attribution models and channel-level P&L, not just platform dashboards.

Experience in ecommerce, ideally in a considered-purchase or configurator-style buying journey (multi-category retail, print, manufacturing or similar is a plus).

Excellent stakeholder management — able to make the case for budget and channel decisions clearly to non-marketing colleagues.

Real ownership of a meaningful budget and channel mix, with autonomy to shape strategy rather than just execute a plan handed to you.

The chance to build GEO capability from the ground up, ahead of most of the market.

A collaborative team spanning web, product, sales and CX — performance marketing here isn't siloed.
