dex - Performance Marketing Manager
Requirements
• Hands on in performance marketing, managing real budgets yourself across paid search and paid social. Meta and LinkedIn experience matters most. • You've worked at a tech company, or you're ready for your first in-house role after a couple of years at a strong agency. • You care about what happens after the click. You've optimised for downstream quality, not just cost per lead, and you know how to set up tracking that you trust. • Comfortable with data. You can pull your own numbers, spot when something looks wrong, and explain what's going on without a dashboard doing it for you. • You move fast and like owning things. You'd rather ship a test today than plan it for a week. • You use AI tools daily, and you're happy building small tools, scripts or agents to do your job better. You don't need to be an engineer. • Strong nice-to-haves • You've run performance marketing for both consumer (B2C) and business (B2B) audiences, ideally at more than one tech company. • You've worked closely with a creative studio or run UGC at volume, so you know what a good brief looks like. • If you don't tick every box but this sounds like you, apply anyway.
Responsibilities
• Own Google Search, LinkedIn and Meta: structure, budgets, bidding, audiences and day-to-day optimisation. • Launch new campaigns in days, not weeks. Run a steady programme of tests across audiences, formats and landing pages. • Judge channels on what matters to Dex: good candidates and the ones who get put forward to clients. Work with our data to make sure conversion tracking and attribution are right, and push quality signals back into the platforms. • Brief creative. Work with our creative lead, writers and UGC creators on what to make, tell them what's working and kill what isn't. • Open up new channels as we grow, such as YouTube, Performance Max, retargeting and new markets. • Help take paid into client acquisition: getting Dex in front of heads of talent, engineering leaders and founders. • Manage our paid media agency and any contractors, and bring more of the work in-house over time. • Report clearly on spend and results each week, and say plainly what you'd change.
Benefits
• You'll own a channel mix that's growing fast, with the budget and freedom to try things. • You'll work on a product people care about. Changing jobs is one of the biggest decisions engineers make, and we want them to trust us with it. • You'll work closely with the founders and the Head of Growth, with a lot of room to grow your scope. • Everyone here builds with AI. You'll have the tools and the time to work that way. • Significant equity • Private healthcare and dental • Fertility benefits and enhanced parental support • Claude tokens • Regular socials, offsites and an annual team trip • MacBook Pro and team equipment • A "whatever you need" approach to tools and support • 1. Talent screen with Becca, Head of Talent (30 min) • 2. Hiring manager interview with Rob, Head of Growth (45 min) • 3. Practical task: a short paid acquisition audit and plan, done at home • 4. In person: task review with Rob and the growth team (60 min), culture and values (45 min), final interview with Paddy, CEO and founder (30 min)
