Performance Marketing Manager

This is a remote position.

Our client is looking for a Performance Marketing Manager to step into an established paid media program and independently manage execution across paid search and paid social channels with minimal ramp-up time. They operate a digitally native, multi-brand e-commerce platform in the home improvement industry and have expanded their portfolio in recent years through new product launches and strategic acquisitions.
