Performance Marketing Manager to own and scale paid media across Amazon, Walmart, Meta, TikTok, Google, and additional marketplace and retail media channels for a fast-growing clean-label snack brand. You will manage campaigns end to end, optimize for profitability rather than vanity metrics, and work directly with leadership to drive efficient, scalable growth across every channel.
This is not a brand awareness role. We are looking for someone who understands performance marketing at a deep level — contribution margin, TACOS, marketplace algorithms, and how to profitably scale a consumable CPG brand across multiple channels simultaneously. If you are highly analytical, execution-focused, and take genuine ownership of campaign performance and business outcomes, this role is a strong fit.
You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
