Full Job Description
The role

We're hiring a Performance Marketing ManagerSpecialist to own performance and growth for a portfolio within our North American team.

You'll join a newly created growth squad and work alongside Customer Success and Paid Acquisition specialists to support the growth of a portfolio of advertisers.

The exact vertical is still being defined, but the mission is clear: understand what drives performance, identify growth opportunities, and help turn those insights into concrete actions across paid channels.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working close to the numbers, testing ideas and gradually taking more ownership over performance and growth.

What you'll do
  • Manage and optimize paid acquisition campaigns across channels including Google Ads and Meta, with exposure to additional platforms such as TikTok, Taboola or Outbrain depending on the portfolio.
  • Monitor key performance indicators and identify meaningful changes in performance.
  • Investigate performance issues across channels, creatives, landing pages, offers, tracking and market conditions.
  • Translate analysis into clear recommendations and prioritized actions for the squad.
  • Support the development of growth plans alongside the Performance Marketing and Customer Success teams.
  • Build and run structured experiments across creatives, audiences, offers, landing pages and channel mix.
  • Work closely with Paid Acquisition specialists to improve campaign execution and share learnings across accounts.
  • Contribute to forecasting, performance reviews and regular reporting on portfolio health.
  • Monitor competitors, platform developments and acquisition trends to identify new opportunities.
  • Build a strong understanding of our clients' businesses, funnels and growth challenges.
What success looks like

During your first months, you'll progressively build a strong understanding of Dolead's business model, our acquisition approach and the accounts you support.

You'll be able to:
  • Spot performance changes quickly and investigate what is driving them.
  • Bring structured, data-backed recommendations to the squad.
  • Run experiments with clear hypotheses and measurable outcomes.
  • Develop strong expertise across your portfolio and paid acquisition channels.
  • Take increasing ownership of performance and growth initiatives as you ramp up.
Who you are
What we're looking for
  • 4-6+ years of experience in performance marketing, paid acquisition or growth marketing in a data-driven environment.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Google Ads and good working knowledge of Meta Ads.
  • Comfortable working with performance metrics such as CPL, CPA, CVR, ROAS and revenue-related KPIs.
  • Strong analytical mindset: you enjoy understanding why something moved, not simply reporting that it did.
  • Experience running tests across campaigns, creatives, audiences or landing pages.
  • Comfortable managing several campaigns, markets or accounts at the same time.
  • Clear communicator who can turn data into actionable recommendations.
  • Curious, proactive and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment.
Nice to have
  • Experience in lead generation or other performance-driven acquisition models.
  • Experience managing multiple client accounts, particularly in an agency or portfolio environment.
  • Exposure to TikTok Ads, Taboola, Outbrain or other paid acquisition channels.
  • Experience working with CRM, offline conversion or lead-quality data.
  • Experience working directly with Google or Meta representatives.

🚨 No need to check all the boxes. If you think this role could be a strong next step for you but you have doubts, apply and we can discuss.
