ROLE SUMMARY

Volo Sports is one of the fastest-growing social sports and experiences platforms in the country, and we're looking for a Performance Marketing Leader who can elevate our acquisition engine, challenge the status quo, and scale our multi-market footprint with a rigorous, data-driven approach.

As the leader of Performance Marketing, you will own all paid growth channels, partnering closely with Brand Growth, Retention/Lifecycle Marketing, B2B, Creative, and Local Market teams to drive efficient, high-quality demand. You'll architect our performance strategy, roll up your sleeves to execute campaigns, and build a best-in-class measurement and testing framework.

This role requires someone who is as analytical as they are creative, a person who geeks out on CAC:LTV, attribution modeling, and experimentation-but also understands the nuance, emotion, and community-driven nature of what Volo sells. Ideally, you come from a background in hospitality, experiences, sports, or multi-unit consumer brands where the buying cycle doesn't look like a standard transactional funnel.

Volo is looking for someone who can:

Performance Marketing Strategy & Execution

• Own end-to-end strategy for paid acquisition across digital and offline channels (paid social, paid search, display, video, influencers, OOH, partnerships, etc.).
• Drive channel mix decisions, evaluating where performance marketing is most effective and when it should not be used.
• Be hands-on with campaign management-briefing creative, building audiences, optimizing budgets, and driving measurable improvements.
• Build and maintain a rigorous test-and-learn roadmap, constantly experimenting across channels, creative, messaging, and audiences.

Measurement, Analytics & Optimization Develop a best-in-class performance measurement structure: attribution, incrementality testing, CAC:LTV modeling, cohort analysis, and dashboarding.

• Own forecasting and performance reporting, ensuring strong visibility across C-suite and cross-functional teams.
• Analyze media mix effectiveness, channel saturation points, and customer journey nuances specific to the Volo product.
• Translate complex insights into actionable recommendations for leadership and partners.

Cross-Functional Partnership Collaborate with Brand Growth on integrated campaigns and funnel consistency.

• Partner with Retention/Lifecycle Marketing to create seamless acquisition-to-retention journeys that maximize revenue and reduce churn.
• Work closely with Creative and Content teams to identify high-converting assets, ensure rapid iteration, and surface insights that inform future storytelling.
• Align with Local Market teams to understand regional nuances, demand patterns, local budgets, and off-channel opportunities.
  Large focus on creating lead gen for the B2B offering.

Leadership & Team Development

• Educate peers and leaders on performance marketing best practices, frameworks, and channel economics.
• Build scalable processes, playbooks, and accountability systems that level up the entire commercial organization.
• Potentially build and manage a small team as Volo's footprint and needs expand.

Channel Innovation & Future-Proofing

• Stay ahead of emerging platforms, tools, and consumer behavior shifts.
• Identify opportunities in new channels (connected TV, experiential, creator commerce, local OOH, partnership-based acquisition, etc.).
• Push the organization to embrace experimentation and challenge outdated definitions of "good performance."

Your expected skill set & experience:

• 6-10+ years of experience in performance marketing, growth marketing, or digital acquisition, ideally with a consumer, hospitality, sports, or experience-focused brand.
• Track record of owning multi-million-dollar budgets and driving efficient CAC and strong LTV.
• Hands-on experience managing campaigns across Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging paid channels; comfort with offline channels highly preferred.
• Deep expertise in analytics and measurement (attribution, MMM, incrementality, cohort modeling).
• Strong partnership skills with creative, brand, and cross-functional teams.
• Obsessed with experimentation, data, and understanding consumer motivations.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with daily tactical execution.
• Entrepreneurial, curious, and energized by fast-paced, high-growth environments.

"WOW" US WITH

• Background in startups, high-growth
• Operational exposure to high-growth environments and consumer-based industries such as sports, media, or entertainment
• Passion for community, health, and social wellness initiatives

Benefits:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) Plan
• Paid time off and holidays
• Paid Parental Leave
• Employee discounts on Volo Sports programs and events
• Annual Company Events
