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.
