The Role

As our first dedicated Performance Lead, you will bridge the gap between high-level growth strategy and tactical execution. You'll be responsible for building a world-class acquisition engine that targets high-value professionals, ensuring Nace AI becomes the default tool in their workflow.

What You'll Do:

• Scale Multi-Channel Growth: Own the strategy and execution across Search, Paid Social (LinkedIn/Meta), and high-intent platforms like Twitter/X and newsletter sponsorships.
• Build the "Nace" Brand Engine: Lead a small team of growth marketers and creative specialists to produce ads that don't look like ads, but like essential tools for knowledge workers.
• Rigorous Optimization: Manage substantial budgets with a relentless focus on unit economics-optimizing for LTV:CAC and payback periods.
• Data Architecture: Partner with Engineering to ensure perfect attribution, building a data-forward culture where every creative experiment is measured and learned from.
• In-Person Collaboration: Work side-by-side with our founders and product teams in our Palo Alto office to tighten the feedback loop between user acquisition and product development.

Who You Are

The Leader: You have experience managing high-performing teams or agencies and know how to get the best work out of creative and technical talent.
