Performance Media Manager

The Role

This person will lead strategy and execution across paid channels, drive efficient customer growth, help us unlock new audiences, and work cross-functionally with creative, product, catalog, and leadership.

This is a hands-on startup role. You should be comfortable moving from ad account to dashboard to landing page to creative brief in the same day.

What You’ll Do

Own day-to-day strategy, execution, and optimization across paid channels including Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, and other emerging growth channels

Manage budgets against clear business goals including CAC, ROAS, conversion rate, and AOV

Build and run a rigorous testing roadmap across audiences, creative angles, offers, landing pages, funnel steps, and bidding strategies

Partner closely with creative to develop ad concepts and landing page ideas that resonate with our core customers

Work with product and engineering to improve attribution, tracking, event quality, and reporting

Build weekly and monthly reporting for leadership with a strong point of view on what is working, what is not, and what to do next

Stay close to the customer and market. You should understand what motivates buyers, what makes an offer convert, and how creative quality impacts performance

What Success Looks Like

You establish a repeatable testing cadence and a reliable performance reporting rhythm

You improve efficiency while responsibly scaling spend

You help Audiio find new pockets of growth beyond a small number of core campaigns or channels

You raise the quality of the creative feedback loop, not just the media buying

You become a trusted operator who connects channel performance to bigger business decisions

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of hands-on performance marketing or paid media experience

Strong experience in subscription, SaaS, DTC, marketplace, creator economy, or media/creative tools businesses

Deep fluency in Meta and Google, plus solid working experience with YouTube and at least one additional growth channel

Experience personally owning meaningful budgets and performance targets

Strong analytical skills and comfort making decisions despite imperfect attribution

A track record of scaling spend without losing efficiency

Real creative judgment. You know how messaging, offer, hook, landing page, and audience all work together

Comfort operating autonomously in a lean environment without a lot of layers or hand-holding

Clear communication and strong business judgment

Willingness to be both strategist and doer

Agency or in-house backgrounds can both work, but you must have personally owned outcomes, not just reporting

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

You like startups because you want ownership

You move quickly, but you do not confuse motion with progress

You are scrappy, but still rigorous

You do not need a huge team, perfect attribution, or endless meetings to do great work

You want to help build the machine, not just manage one small part of it

Nice to Have

Experience marketing to filmmakers, video editors, creators, production companies, agencies, or creative professionals

Experience with subscription funnels, CRO, free trials, and lifecycle coordination

Experience with affiliate programs, creator-led acquisition, or sponsorship partnerships

Familiarity with music, audio, media licensing, or AI-assisted creative tools

Compensation

Base salary around $125,000

Bonus tied to performance and growth goals
