Base pay range
$200,000.00/yr - $280,000.00/yr
Performance Marketing Lead / Founding Marketeer
Location: San Francisco or NYC, Hybrid in either location
We’re looking for a Performance Marketing Lead to own and scale paid acquisition across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn. This is a rare opportunity to build a demand engine from the ground up — owning the full performance marketing funnel, from strategy and creative through to execution and optimisation.
If you have been in a Founding position, one of the first in, a Growth Marketeer for a rocket Start Up or Series-backed business, ideally A-C, we want to hear from you!
You\'ll collaborate closely with Founders daily, the board too, Product, Design, and Sales to launch high-converting campaigns, run landing page tests, and turn insights into action. Your work will help fuel predictable pipeline growth in a fast-scaling B2B SaaS environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
Take full ownership of paid media across key platforms (Google, Meta, LinkedIn)
Build and optimise campaigns to hit CAC, pipeline, and payback targets
Conduct deep audience, keyword, and performance analysis to improve targeting and spend efficiency
Write compelling ad copy that speaks to scaling B2B customers
Work with cross-functional teams to test and improve landing pages
Ensure a seamless handoff from marketing-qualified leads to sales demos
Explore and experiment with emerging channels and new ad formats
Manage a growing monthly ad budget (currently significant and scaling quickly)
Who We’re Looking For
You’ve spent at least 3 solid years owning paid acquisition for a B2B SaaS company or a successful B2C/D2C brand , which has had great success across North America (something which has exceeded downloads and/or sales)
You’ve worked in a venture-backed or PE-backed business (Series A–C preferred)
You’ve helped build marketing from the ground up, not just optimised what already exists
You know how to scale spend, lower CAC, and grow a qualified pipeline
You’re hands-on in Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, and LinkedIn Campaign Manager
You’re both analytical and creative — able to interpret data and write standout ad copy
You test fast, learn quickly, and constantly iterate based on performance
About You
You thrive in early-stage or scaling SaaS environments or B2B/D2C Brand, where systems are still being built
You love the challenge of owning an entire function and being the go-to expert
You get energy from building and iterating , not just maintaining
You’re excited by the idea of being a strategic partner to founders, product, and sales
You believe performance marketing is one of the most powerful levers for growth — and you love proving it
Competitive OTE in the $200K–$280K base, + performance bonus on top
Equity package in a fast-growing, venture-backed SaaS company
High autonomy, direct impact, and a seat at the table as the business scales
If of interest, please apply!
