About The RoleWe're hiring a cross-channel Sr Performance Marketing Manager who is equal parts strategist, analyst, operator, and partner manager. You will own end-to-end media planning, buying (via agencies and platforms), optimization, and measurement across Video (TV, CTV, OLV), Audio, Display/Programmatic, Direct Mail, and other local media. You have experience with traditional channels -with deep, hands-on expertise in digital media. You are a flexible jack-of-all-trades who can zoom from long-term strategy into in-the-weeds execution to deliver measurable business outcomes. Critically, you know how to "build brand through a performance lens," connecting upper-funnel investments to near-term impact and long-term value creation.
What You'll Do- Lead cross-channel strategy and plans: define channel roles, audience frameworks, geo strategy, flighting, and mix across TV/CTV/OLV, Audio (streaming and terrestrial), Display/Programmatic, Direct Mail, and other local media -anchored in digital excellence.
- Manage agencies and platform partners: write briefs, set KPIs/SLAs, negotiate rates, push for inventory optimization, enforce QA standards, and ensure brand safety and suitability.
- Build brand through a performance lens: architect brand investments and creative systems that drive efficient reach, quality frequency, brand lift, and measurable downstream outcomes (site traffic, qualified leads, acquisition).
- Drive performance and learning velocity: design and run a rigorous test-and-learn roadmap (audiences, creative, supply, formats, bidding, landing experiences); scale winners, sunset underperformers, and codify learnings.
- Own budgets and pacing: forecast, allocate, and dynamically rebalance spend; connect investment to acquisition and brand outcomes; communicate returns, trade-offs, and risks crisply.
- Elevate measurement: lead incrementality and geo experiments; contribute inputs for MMM; maintain attribution hygiene; partner with Analytics and Data Science on experiment design and decision frameworks.
- Improve creative effectiveness: define specs and messaging frameworks by channel; partner with Brand/Creative on concepting, iteration, and refresh cadence.
- Strengthen data and tooling: champion single source-of-truth dashboards; reduce drift and duplicate tooling; leverage automation/AI to eliminate manual toil in planning, reporting and trafficking.
- Communicate and influence: deliver clear reporting, insights, and recommendations to senior stakeholders; translate data into action and align cross-functional teams on next steps.
What You'll Need- 7+ years in media planning/buying or performance marketing with deep expertise in digital (programmatic, CTV/OLV; paid social/search as applicable) and strong working knowledge of traditional channels (Linear TV, terrestrial radio, OOH, Direct Mail).
- Proven ability to build brand through a performance lens, linking brand media to acquisition and funnel efficiency while protecting quality reach and brand integrity.
- Demonstrated success managing agencies and platform partners, negotiating value, and holding a high execution bar.
- Strong analytical toolkit: experimentation, funnel diagnostics, incrementality, and translating insights into decisions; experience with BI tools and/or SQL is a plus.
- Hands-on familiarity with major platforms and tools: DSPs (e.g., DV360, The Trade Desk), CTV partners (e.g., YouTube, Roku), ad servers, verification/brand safety solutions, analytics/attribution (e.g., GA4, MMPs, MMM providers, lift testing).
- Excellent communication, prioritization, and stakeholder management; thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and maintains a high quality bar.
- Ownership mindset with flexibility to switch between strategy and hands-on execution.
Preferred- Experience in real estate, fintech/proptech, or performance-driven consumer brands.
- Agency and client-side experience
- Depth in MMM/MTA, geo experiments, and incrementality frameworks; experience shaping a measurement roadmap.
- Comfort bridging brand and performance media; close partnership with creative, finance, product and data science teams
How We Measure Success- Efficiency and impact: CAC/CPA, CPQL, incremental contribution, brand lift, quality reach/frequency.
- Operational excellence: pacing accuracy, testing velocity and iteration speed, creative refresh cadence, QA/brand safety adherence.
- Strategic influence: clarity of media strategy, improvements to the partner/tooling ecosystem, and durable cross-functional alignment.
