Key Responsibilities

Performance Marketing Strategy & Optimization

• Own performance across paid and offline acquisition channels including Google PPC, Meta, Direct Mail, TV/CTV, and emerging channels.
• Monitor campaign performance daily and identify opportunities to improve lead volume, lead quality, conversion rates, and cost efficiency.
• Develop testing roadmaps for audiences, creative, offers, landing pages, bidding strategies, and channel mix.
• Analyze performance by market, campaign, channel, and audience segment to uncover growth opportunities.
• Recommend budget allocations based on performance trends and business objectives.

Channel Management & Execution

• Manage day-to-day execution of acquisition campaigns across Google PPC, Meta, Direct Mail, TV/CTV, and emerging channels.
• Partner with internal stakeholders and external vendors to launch, monitor, and optimize campaigns.
• Develop direct mail audience strategies, targeting methodologies, segmentation frameworks, and campaign plans designed to maximize response rates, lead quality, and return on investment.
• Partner with data providers, mail vendors, and internal stakeholders to continuously test, optimize, and scale direct mail programs across member markets.
• Partner with media vendors and platform partners to plan, launch, monitor, and optimize television and connected TV campaigns.
• Evaluate new acquisition opportunities and conduct structured tests to determine scalability.

Analytics & Reporting

• Build and maintain performance reporting across all acquisition channels.
• Track key metrics including CPL, CPMQL, CAC, conversion rates, and return on marketing investment.
• Identify performance trends and provide actionable recommendations to leadership.
• Develop forecasting models and support annual and quarterly planning initiatives.
• Ensure accurate attribution and measurement methodologies are maintained across channels.

Landing Pages & Conversion Optimization

• Partner with creative and web resources to improve landing page performance.
• Develop and execute A/B testing initiatives focused on conversion rate optimization.
• Identify opportunities to improve user experience and lead capture efficiency.
• Monitor form completion rates, engagement metrics, and lead quality indicators.

Vendor & Partner Management

• Manage relationships with media agencies, platform representatives, data providers, and marketing vendors.
• Hold partners accountable to performance expectations and service levels.
• Evaluate vendor performance and recommend process improvements, contract changes, or alternative solutions when appropriate.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of direct, hands on experience owning paid acquisition performance across both digital and traditional channels. You have personally managed budgets and been held accountable for results. This is not a coordination or support role.
• You have run direct mail programs from the ground up: list strategy, audience segmentation, creative testing, vendor management, and response rate measurement. You understand how a mail program works mechanically, not just conceptually.
• You are fluent in Google Ads and paid social (Meta). You can manage campaigns directly, read platform data critically, and evaluate agency performance without relying on the agency to tell you what is working.
• TV and/or connected TV (CTV) experience is preferred. You have planned, launched, or managed television or CTV campaigns, whether executed directly or through a media agency relationship you owned.
• Experience managing campaigns across multiple markets, geographies, or audience segments simultaneously. You track performance at the market level and can make budget allocation decisions based on geographic data.
• Fluency in lead-generation economics: CPL, CAC, conversion rates, payback periods, and attribution limitations. You think in business outcomes and connect marketing spend to revenue, not platform metrics.
• Comfortable working from CRM and funnel data, not just platform dashboards. Salesforce experience is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency with performance reporting platforms including Google Analytics, Looker Studio, or equivalent tools.
• Able to operate independently in a lean environment. You do not need a large team, defined processes, or significant internal infrastructure to be effective.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across marketing, sales, operations, vendors, and leadership without creating friction or confusion.
• Experience in real estate, home services, financial services, mortgage, or direct response lead generation is a plus.
• Pure digital performance marketers, brand marketers, social and content marketers, and agency account managers without direct budget ownership will not be competitive for this role.
