About the Role

We’re hiring a full-funnel performance marketer to own the complete paid acquisition and conversion ecosystem for a fast-growing DTC brand.

This is not a traditional media buyer role.

You will own every paid dollar across Meta, TikTok, and Google—and everything that happens after the click. That means performance marketing strategy, campaign execution, funnel optimization, landing page CRO strategy, A/B testing, offer architecture, and vendor management.

The ideal candidate understands that profitable growth doesn’t come from ad platform automation alone—it comes from connecting winning creative, audience strategy, offer positioning, and conversion-focused landing experiences into a cohesive revenue engine.

You’ll work directly with the VP of eCommerce and collaborate with creative, CX, operations, and distribution teams to scale DTC revenue profitably.

This role is ideal for someone who thinks in systems, moves quickly, is highly analytical, and has successfully scaled DTC paid funnels before.
