[Hiring] Performance & Growth Manager @ClickGUARD

Role Description

We’re hiring a hands-on Performance & Growth Manager. This is not a traditional PPC role, nor is it a “set-and-maintain” role. You’ll operate at the intersection of:

• Paid acquisition
• Creative experimentation
• CRO & funnel optimization
• Growth strategy & lifecycle thinking

With real ownership over outcomes, not just execution. You’ll be expected to:

• Challenge what exists
• Improve how growth is done
• Take responsibility for what actually moves the needle

Using AI as a core efficiency lever — not as a replacement for thinking. This role tends to work best for people who enjoy ownership, autonomy, and environments where things are still being built.

Qualifications

• Proven, hands-on experience with running paid acquisition across platforms such as Google, Meta, and LinkedIn.
• Full-funnel thinking, including a strong understanding of conversion mechanics, trade-offs, and attribution logic.
• Practical CRO and experimentation experience (landing pages, UX, funnels).
• Hands-on experience with email marketing and lifecycle campaigns.
• Comfortable being deeply hands-on, with direct ownership over execution and outcomes.
• Ability to work through experiments, not static setups or predefined playbooks.
• Experience executing and iterating on lifecycle touchpoints (including email) as part of a broader growth system.
• Ability to move fast while maintaining quality.
• Skill in clearly explaining why something worked or failed, not just what happened.
• Ability to give and receive direct, honest feedback.
• Experience using AI to work faster while raising the quality bar.
• Ability to bring ideas and perspectives we’re not already using — and defend them with logic.

Requirements

• Use AI daily to increase speed, output, and decision quality.
• Build lightweight workflows that remove manual or repetitive work.
• Maintain strong critical thinking — AI without iteration leads to generic output.
• Use AI to amplify thinking and judgment, not replace them.

Benefits

• Fully remote work environment.
• Close-knit team with effective onboarding processes.
• Strong team spirit even when spread out across the globe.
