full-time
Department: Comms

Role summary
The Performance Marketing Specialist owns the numbers behind the work, turning campaign activity into measurable business outcomes for clients.

Partner with the Ads Specialist on budget allocation and pacing across platforms, and with the Design Lead on creative that converts
Build and maintain performance dashboards, making sure numbers reconcile between ad platforms, analytics, and client-side sources
Identify drop-off points across the funnel and drive the fixes with Social Media, Design, and Account Management
Present the performance story to clients alongside Account Management, translating data into decisions rather than reporting numbers
Stay current on measurement and privacy changes affecting tracking and attribution, and adapt the agency's approach.
