[Hiring] Performance Marketing Specialist @Brainrider Global Creative Services

Role Description

Brainrider is looking for a detail-obsessed Performance Marketing Specialist to own the strategy, quality, and performance of our paid acquisition efforts across search, video, social, and emerging digital channels. This is an execution-heavy role for someone who thrives in the weeds — scrutinizing campaign setups, catching what others miss, and holding agency partners to the highest standard of performance and accuracy.

The ideal candidate comes from an agency background where they've managed multi-channel performance campaigns across a diverse client portfolio, giving them the platform expertise and operational rigor to know exactly what "good" looks like — and the conviction to flag when it doesn't. You'll work closely with our agency partner(s) to ensure flawless execution across paid search, programmatic, and non-traditional media channels, making this a role for someone who combines deep SEM expertise with a QA-first mindset and proactive communication style.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of performance marketing experience with deep expertise in SEM/paid search (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, SA360).
• Agency background strongly preferred.
• Meticulous attention to detail.
• Proven ability to manage and QA agency partners.
• Track record managing substantial paid media budgets ($+/month).
• Proactive communicator.
• Strong analytical skills (Google Analytics, Looker, Tableau, or similar).
• Experience with A/B and multivariate testing methodologies.

Requirements

• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for agency partner(s) managing paid search, video, social, and programmatic campaigns.
• Own rigorous QA of all agency output.
• Review creative assets against platform specs and safe zones before launch.
• Enforce strict naming conventions across campaigns, ad groups, creatives, and UTMs.
• Maintain a "tight ship" operating cadence.
• Own the paid search strategy across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and other SEM platforms.
• Own paid social strategy across Meta, Reddit, X, TikTok, and more.
• Drive the experimentation roadmap.
• Manage and optimize significant monthly budgets.
• Build and maintain reporting dashboards and performance frameworks.
• Deliver proactive status updates, performance insights, and risk flags to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Translate complex campaign data into clear, actionable narratives.
• Oversee agency execution of programmatic campaigns across DSPs.
• Source, negotiate, and manage direct media buys.
• Identify and test emerging channels.

Benefits

• Competitive salaries.
• Paid vacation.
• Work from home (WFH) support and set-up assistance.
• A wide variety of other great perks.
