Performance Marketing Specialist

Salary range: €55,000-65,000/annum

We are seeking a high-caliber Performance Marketing Specialist to take full ownership of our Google Ads ecosystem. This is a critical, high-impact role within our centralized User Acquisition department, specifically designed for a technical expert who excels at scaling Search, Display, and UAC (Universal App Campaigns) at a global level. You will manage significant monthly budgets and be the primary architect of our growth strategy on Google, turning complex data into high-performing campaigns that drive millions of users to Freecash and our partner projects. This role demands a "strategic doer"—someone who can build a sophisticated long-term roadmap while remaining deeply hands-on with daily optimizations.

What You'll Do 🎯

• Own the Google Ecosystem: Take end-to-end responsibility for our Google Ads strategy, managing and scaling massive budgets across Search, Display, Discovery, and UAC to meet aggressive ROI and user acquisition targets.
• Technical Campaign Excellence: Execute hands-on optimizations, including advanced bidding strategies, deep keyword research, audience segmentation, and structural account refinements to maximize efficiency.
• Data-Driven Roadmap: Analyze deep-funnel performance data to identify growth levers, translate findings into actionable strategies, and maintain a rigorous testing roadmap for creatives and landing pages.
• Process Engineering: Build and implement scalable marketing processes and reporting frameworks that allow for rapid decision-making and cross-project transparency within the UA department.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with our Creative team to iterate on high-performing assets and with our Data/Product teams to ensure attribution accuracy and alignment with broader business KPIs.

What You'll Bring 💡

• Senior-Level Expertise: 4+ years of experience specifically managing large-scale Google Ads accounts, with a proven track record of scaling budgets while maintaining target ROAS/CPA.
• Platform Mastery: In-depth knowledge of Google’s bidding algorithms, tracking requirements (GTM/GA4), and the nuances of mobile app tracking within the Google ecosystem.
• Analytical Rigor: Exceptional ability to navigate complex datasets using SQL and Excel to uncover trends that others miss.
• Hands-on Execution: A history of being a "doer" who takes pride in the technical setup and daily performance of campaigns, rather than just managing agencies.
• Strategic Agility: The ability to pivot between different projects and goals within the UA department, adapting your Google Ads expertise to meet the specific needs of various internal products.

What Makes You a Great Fit 🌟

• You are a Proactive Owner: You don’t wait for instructions; you identify inefficiencies in an account and fix them immediately.
• You are a Systems Thinker: You love building repeatable processes that make scaling easier and more predictable.
• You are Growth-Obsessed: You thrive on the challenge of hitting ambitious targets and are constantly looking for the next 1% improvement that can lead to massive scale.
