The Role

We are hiring a Senior Performance Marketing Manager to own and improve our Meta advertising program. This is a senior individual contributor role where you will manage the platform daily, test multiple campaign variables and own the outcome. There is no team to manage. We need a hands-on operator to evaluate data, develop strategies, get buy-in from leadership, and deliver results.

What You'll Do

• Leverage our Meta Conversions API (CAPI) connection to drive Scale and Cash ROI improvements in our Meta campaigns
• Build, launch, and scale Meta campaigns to deliver qualified buyers and cash ROI, not just lead volume.
• Evolve our Meta campaigns and performance based on a deep understanding of our KPIs and first-hand experience in leveraging CAPI for other businesses.
• Work with our Director of Business Optimization to align incremental, data-driven test design
• Manage long sales-cycle, event-based campaigns from top of funnel to revenue conversion.
• Adjust campaigns to consistently deliver monthly cash, buyer, and sales targets.
• Utilize off-platform analysis to diagnose and improve campaign performance.
• Mitigate lead fraud and low-quality traffic proactively.
• Collaborate closely with creative, analytics, and sales teams to close the loop between ad spend and business results.

What We Require

• 3+ years of experience with Meta Conversions API: leveraging, maintaining, and optimizing a Meta Conversions API (CAPI) connection.
• Hands-on experience with server-side event architecture, deduplication logic, Event Match Quality (EMQ) improvement, and parameter enrichment are required.
• Deep, hands-on fluency across Meta's full platform stack: Events Manager, Ads Manager, Advantage+ and ASC campaigns, value-based lookalikes, Aggregated Event Measurement (AEM), and the Meta Marketing API.
• Experience with server-side event implementation — whether through server-side GTM, Meta's Conversions API Gateway, or direct API integration. In short, illustrate a proven ability to leverage and evolve a Conversion API to deliver performance improvement.

• A documented, progressive track record of scaling spend while improving efficiency — cost per qualified lead down, ROAS up, consistently. Be prepared to discuss specific numbers, accounts, strategic and technical decisions you made and why.
• Strong analytical capability applied directly to business outcomes: cash ROI, cost per buyer, and qualified lead quality.
• Experience operating with channel ownership and accountability in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with big-ticket, high-consideration products and offers with long sales cycles.
• Event-based or webinar-style lead generation campaigns.
• Familiarity with CRM platforms and landing page tools.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary ($90,000–$115,000)
• Comprehensive benefits - health, dental, vision, 401k
• Access to full suite financial education products
