About This RolePerformance marketing teams are drowning in data. They know which campaigns work and which audiences convert, but the gap between insight and action is massive. They generate a variant, test it, get approval, publish it, and by then the market has moved!
GenStudio for Performance Marketing collapses that gap: insights to live ads in minutes, tested at scale, iterated on real performance data.

What We're Looking ForIt's not necessary to meet every item listed below. If you meet most of these and the mission resonates, we want to hear from you!
Experience- 12+ years in B2B product marketing, with at least 10 years driving positioning, messaging, and GTM strategy (not just campaign execution) [confirm total-years floor with HM]
- Proven ability to influence product direction based on market signals
- Track record of shipping positioning that moved the needle, with specific deals won or pipeline lifted
- Experience working in or adjacent to marketing technology, performance marketing tools, or B2B SaaS
- Comfort with data: you read dashboards, test messaging, and decide based on evidence, not intuition
How you Operate- Intellectual honesty. You can articulate hard truths about product-market fit, customer concentration, and competitive threats. You don't spin; you solve.
- Direct communication. You write clearly, present crisply, and give straightforward feedback. No corporate jargon.
- Strategic flexibility. You can zoom from competitive battlecards to SVP-level business strategy and back.
- Customer empathy with skepticism. You care about solving customer problems, but you don't accept feedback uncritically. You triangulate.
- Cross-functional partnership. You work closely with Product, Sales, and Design. You build trust, not silos.
- Comfort with ambiguity. We're still answering fundamental questions about our ICP, positioning, and go-to-market model.
- Background in performance marketing, digital advertising, or analytics
