We are looking for a Global Performance Marketing Manager to own paid media strategy and execution across our global demand generation campaigns (UK&I, Europe and North America).

Working in close partnership with the Senior Global Campaign Manager, you will be responsible for how we reach our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) - translating campaign narratives and messaging into high-performing paid media programmes that drive pipeline and closed-won bookings.

You will define how we show up in-market: architecting campaigns in-platform, shaping audience segmentation, setting the testing framework, and leading the relationship with our paid media agency.
