Performance Marketing Manager

Responsibilities:
Paid Performance - Meta, Google and Beyond: Plan, launch, and manage paid campaigns across Meta Ads and Google Ads - from strategy to execution to daily optimisation. Own and improve the metrics that matter: ROAS, CPA, CAC, CTR, and conversion rate - not just track them, but actively move them. Build and test full-funnel campaign structures - awareness, consideration, retargeting, and retention - tailored to our DTC Shopify setup. Identify and test emerging platforms, ad formats, and audience strategies to scale acquisition efficiently.
Experimentation and Optimisation: Run structured A/B tests on creatives, copy, audiences, landing pages, and offers - with clear hypotheses and clean read-outs. Maintain a live testing calendar and document learnings so the brand compounds knowledge over time. Work with the creative team to brief, iterate, and retire ad assets based on performance data - not gut feel.
Analytics & Reporting: Own performance reporting - weekly and monthly - across all paid and CRM channels using GA4 Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, and Shopify analytics. Build dashboards that give the founding team real-time visibility into acquisition cost, channel contribution, and funnel health. Translate data into clear, actionable insights - not slide decks full of vanity metrics.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with the creative and content team to ensure ad assets are on-brand, high-converting, and refreshed before fatigue sets in. Work with operations and product teams to align campaign calendars with inventory, launches, and seasonal moments. Flag conversion bottlenecks on the Shopify site and collaborate on fixes - you understand the full funnel, not just the top.
Requirements:
5-7 years of hands-on performance marketing experience, must have experience at a D2C brand.
Strong, working command of Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads - you've managed meaningful budgets independently.
Proficiency in GA4 and Shopify analytics; familiarity with Mixpanel or similar tools is a plus.
Data-first mindset - you're comfortable pulling your own numbers, spotting patterns, and acting on them fast.
Understanding of DTC conversion funnels, landing page performance, and how creative impacts paid results.
Ability to write a clear, creative brief and give structured, data-backed feedback.
