    Job Description

    We’re hiring a Performance Media Specialist to be a strategic media partner for our enterprise clients.

    Hybrid schedule - 4 days remote, 1 in office per week.


    In this role, you’ll turn marketing goals into concrete growth outcomes. You’ll manage performance marketing across platforms like Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, and TikTok, use the Darwin platform to surface creative insights, and lead strategic conversations with marketing leaders. You understand the data, the story behind it and know how to make it drive results.

    • Translate data into marketing strategy by identifying trends, uncovering growth opportunities, and communicating the “why” behind results.

    • Optimize paid media campaigns across platforms like Meta Ads Manager to ensure delivery against key performance metrics and client KPIs.
    • Collaborate cross-functionally with analysts, creative strategists, and product teams to deliver compelling, data-backed recommendations.
    • Empower clients by training them on the Darwin platform to independently monitor and interpret creative and performance insights.
    • Drive measurable business impact, ensuring a direct, undeniable connection between your strategy and client success.
