Performance (CPI CPA CPL) Team Leader

About us
Tenx Ads is a performance advertising company running four lines of business: mobile user acquisition (CPI/CPA), lead generation (CPL), pay per call, and programmatic across CTV, in-app and web. Small team, founder-led, profitable, growing fast. We build a lot of our own tooling and automation, and we move quickly: decisions take hours, not weeks.
The role
You lead our performance activity: mobile UA and lead gen. Revenue, retention and growth of this line are your numbers.
This is a player-coach role, and we mean it. You will manage a small team AND work accounts directly with your own hands, every day: launching offers, monitoring and optimizing campaigns, tracking caps and budgets, catching problems before they cost money, and talking to advertisers and publishers yourself. If you are looking for a pure strategy or management seat where the team touches the accounts and you review dashboards, this is not that role, and we would rather you know now.
If you love the operating floor and want real ownership with a direct line to the founder, keep reading.
What you'll do
Own day-to-day account management of advertiser and publisher accounts: launches, optimization, caps, payouts, quality, issue resolution
Lead and grow the performance team (account manager, ad ops, media buyer): assign, train, review, hire when needed, manage the P/L
Own revenue, retention and growth of the performance activity, with a clear monthly gross profit target
Build, refine and streamline processes, automations, reporting and tools: we automate aggressively and expect you to push that further
Work directly with the founder on strategy, new offers, and where the activity goes next
Bring in new business, advertisers, publishers, initiatives.
What you bring
5+ years in performance marketing on the network or agency side: mobile UA, affiliate, or lead gen
Fluency in CPI, CPA and CPL economics: payouts, margins, caps, quality, deductions. You can walk through the math of a campaign without opening a spreadsheet
Hands-on experience with tracking platforms (Affise, Everflow, HasOffers or similar) and MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust)
You have personally managed advertisers and publishers relationships, not only supervised people who did
You have led at least a small team and stayed hands-on while doing it
Data-driven and self-managing: you find the problem in the numbers before anyone reports it
Strong written English; comfortable working remote with an international team
Can do approach, problem solver, know how to generate revenue from any opportunity.
Bonus points:
Media buying experience (Meta, native, DSP), fraud and traffic-quality know-how, and real usage of AI and automation tools in your daily work. We run a heavily automated operation and you'll feel at home faster if you already work that way.
