There are performance marketing roles.
And then there are performance marketing missions.
This one sits at the heart of a global B2B tech brand transforming how it connects with customers across borders, platforms and products. The goal? Build a world-class digital ecosystem that not only drives demand, but defines how a modern, data-led marketing function operates on a global scale.
You’ll lead a small but sharp in-house team — an analyst, a front-end web specialist and a global content manager — but your real reach comes through an international network agency. They’ll handle the global media engine (PPC, paid social, display and more). You’ll set the direction: strategy, structure, performance frameworks and the benchmarks of excellence that define what “good” looks like.
But this isn’t just about channel performance. It’s about connection — ensuring that every click, search and impression actually goes somewhere that converts. You’ll work closely with the wider marketing, content and web teams to ensure the traffic your team drives engages meaningfully with the site experience, that UX removes friction, and the customer journey is optimised from first touch to final conversion. Your performance insights will help shape everything from landing page design to content flow, ensuring the pieces fit together seamlessly.
It’s a role for someone who thrives on collaboration and influence — aligning markets, time zones and personalities around a shared performance vision. You’ll work with stakeholders in Japan, the US, Asia and Europe, navigating cultural nuance and regional priorities with empathy and precision. You’ll know when to push, when to listen, and how to connect the dots across functions and borders.
You’ll be both strategist and practitioner: equally comfortable discussing budget optimisation at a global level as you are diving into a Google Ads account to check structure and performance integrity. You’ll combine the instinct of a strategist, the curiosity of an analyst and the empathy of a cross-cultural leader.
