Full Job Description
Overview:

We are seeking a highly organized, solutions-oriented Performance Marketing Project Manager to join our internal growth and creative team. In this role, you will sit at the vital intersection of data-driven growth marketing and high-velocity creative production. You will drive end-to-end project execution for conversion-focused campaigns, paid media creative, SEO, CRM initiatives, and branding workflows that directly fuel our customer acquisition and retention goals.

This is not a traditional, slow-moving project management role. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, testing-heavy environment, embraces real-time data pivots, and brings a sense of urgency and precision to everything they do. You'll need to balance the rigor of growth marketing timelines with the nuance of creative production-keeping our marketing engine moving forward while holding yourself and others to a high bar of strategic and operational excellence.

What You'll Do:
  • Dual-Track Project Execution: Lead the planning and execution of growth-focused campaigns, managing both the technical growth marketing workflows and the creative asset production (e.g., static paid social ads, short-form video/UGC, landing pages, and email/CRM templates).
  • Creative & Growth Synchronization: Translate marketing strategies, growth test hypotheses, and performance data into clear, actionable creative briefs, production timelines, and asset feedback loops.
  • Cross-Functional Traffic Control: Serve as the central air traffic controller between growth marketers, internal creatives (designers, copywriters, video editors), external agencies (SEO and media partners), and broader internal stakeholders.
  • Agile Resource & Sprint Management: Actively monitor creative bandwidth, copy/design resourcing, and shifting media budget priorities-escalating risks early, managing creative burnout, and unblocking bottlenecks before they delay a campaign launch.
  • Support Rapid Experimentation: Coordinate the high-volume operational pipeline required for continuous A/B testing, ensuring variations of copy, hooks, and visuals are delivered on time for paid media deployment.
  • Champion Growth Ops & Tooling: Maintain absolute clarity and documentation across all workflows using project management tools (e.g., Monday.com, Asana), ensuring data-driven performance insights easily loop back into future creative sprints.
  • Marketing Technology Enablement: Partner with engineering and data infrastructure teams to scope, sequence, and drive cross-functional projects that build net-new marketing capabilities-such as multi-touch attribution and CRM data integrations-keeping both sides accountable to shared milestones.

What You'll Bring:
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in project management, creative operations, or production within an in-house growth marketing team, performance marketing agency, or fast-paced digital brand.
  • Performance Literacy: A strong understanding of growth marketing ecosystems, creative testing frameworks, and the fast-turnaround requirements of paid social (Meta, TikTok, Google) and organic acquisition (SEO).
  • Process Mastery: Demonstrated success managing fast-moving creative teams, with a hyper-focus on detail, QA/QC (making sure links work, specs match channel requirements, and branding is correct), and timeline tracking.
  • Agency & Vendor Management: Proven experience coordinating with external partners, ensuring external SEO and media agencies receive the brand assets they need on schedule while keeping them accountable to internal deadlines.
  • Communication & Influence: Exceptional interpersonal skills; you are a natural connector who can communicate effectively with technical data analysts, creative designers, and executive stakeholders alike.

Ideal Candidate Traits
  • Bias toward action: You don't wait for permission. You see a bottleneck in the creative pipeline or an upcoming campaign deadline and you actively move people and processes forward.
  • Data-Informed Context: While you don't need to be a data analyst, you appreciate numbers. You understand that creative success in this role is tied directly to performance metrics (CTR, conversion rates, ROAS).
  • Adaptability under pressure: Paid media landscapes change fast. You stay cool-headed when an ad account needs a creative pivot mid-week and can re-prioritize the team's sprint smoothly.
  • Collaborative problem solver: You see yourself as the ultimate facilitator, building bridges between the "art" of the creative team and the "science" of the growth team.
