About the Role
Mogul is seeking a hands-on Manager of Performance Marketing to own and scale our acquisition across paid search, paid social, podcasts, affiliates, and whatever channel comes next. You'll report directly to our CEO. This is not a role where you manage a team or an agency and review performance from a distance: you'll be in the platforms yourself, launching campaigns, managing budgets, analyzing performance, testing creative and audiences, and continuously finding new opportunities for growth. The right person is equal parts performance marketer, analyst, and experimenter.
Location: This role is based in our New York City office. You must be located in, or willing to relocate to, NYC and able to work in person from our NYC office.
- Paid Search & Social: Personally build, launch, optimize, and scale campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Microsoft, and other relevant channels
- Podcasts & Affiliates: Own measurement and analytics for our podcast advertising and affiliate partnerships
- New Channels: Help decide where we invest next, including connected TV and TV, emerging social platforms, and advertising inside AI platforms like ChatGPT
- Hands-on experience personally managing paid media budgets in the platforms is ESSENTIAL
What You'll Do
- Report directly to the CEO
- Communicate performance, insights, opportunities, and recommendations clearly to leadership
- Build, launch, optimize, and scale paid search and paid social campaigns yourself, rather than managing junior team members or outside agencies
- Own campaign budgets, bidding strategies, targeting, audience development, creative testing, and ongoing optimization
- Monitor and optimize CAC, ROAS, conversion rate, LTV, and other growth KPIs
- Develop a performance media and acquisition strategy aligned with Mogul's growth objectives
- Own measurement and performance analysis for podcast advertising and partnerships
- Evaluate and optimize affiliate partnerships: partner performance, acquisition economics, attribution, and scalability
- Evaluate attribution and measurement across channels to understand the true impact of our marketing investments
- Build structured testing roadmaps across audiences, creative, messaging, offers, landing pages, platforms, and campaign formats
- Partner closely with creative to identify which concepts and messages drive performance, and turn those findings into future creative direction
- Research and test acquisition opportunities beyond search and social, including connected TV, TV, new social platforms, and AI-driven ad products such as ChatGPT ads
- Stay current on platform betas, new capabilities, and changes in consumer behavior
- Diversify Mogul's acquisition mix and reduce reliance on any single platform
Where This Goes
We're building this role as a path to leading Mogul's growth marketing. You'll start hands-on in the platforms, take on more of the acquisition mix as we add channels, and grow into owning the strategy behind it and eventually the team beneath you.
