Role Description
This is a remote position. Our client is looking for a Performance Marketing Manager to step into an established paid media program and independently manage execution across paid search and paid social channels with minimal ramp-up time. The ideal professional is an experienced, hands-on operator with strong analytical judgment, deep advertising platform knowledge, and demonstrated experience incorporating AI into everyday marketing workflows.
This is a full-time, fixed-term opportunity designed to provide coverage during a planned leave of absence. The engagement is expected to begin in early September 2026 and continue through December 2026. This is not an advisory or project-only position. The selected professional will take direct ownership of active campaigns, ongoing optimizations, reporting, testing, and documentation.
