(Senior) Performance Marketing Manager

Founded in Berlin, autarc is a ~40 person start-up who were part of Y Combinator's S24 batch in San Francisco. Our team consists of people in Sales, Marketing, Tech and Operations, with the Marketing department currently ~2 people, as we continue to grow throughout the year.

As our first dedicated Performance Marketing Manager, you will build our paid advertising function inhouse and scale it across multiple countries. You will own the entire ad spend from strategy to execution. Working within the Marketing & Growth team and closely with Mariella Gradler, you will grow our spend and lead acquisition well beyond its current level. As it is the first role we hire in this area, we need an allrounder that can ship stuff.

You will:

• Own our entire paid spend across Meta, Google and Bing, and scale it from its current level upwards
• Drive lead acquisition across multiple markets: Germany, UK, Italy, France, Spain and more
• Run campaigns end-to-end: setup, budget allocation, bidding, tracking, reporting and optimisation
• Build the SEA function inhouse and move the work from external consulting into a scalable internal setup
• Work closely with Mariella Gradler and the wider Marketing & Growth team
• Brief our creative team and take in input from the GTM leads of each country
• Be measured on hard numbers: CAC, CPL and pipeline contribution sit at the centre of your work

• 3+ years of experience in performance marketing with a clear focus on SEA and paid acquisition
• Ideally, you have already scaled a B2B SaaS or AI tool massively
• Deep hands-on expertise across Meta, Google and Bing
• Highly analytical and data-driven, confident in tracking, attribution and reporting
• An allrounder who enjoys building a function from scratch rather than just managing it
• Comfortable running multiple markets and languages in parallel
• Fluent in English (German is a plus)

• Freedom to choose your own equipment (within a budget)
• 26 paid vacation days
• An annual team retreat
• The choice between Dance or JobRad for mobility
• The choice between Classpass or Urban Sports Club for fitness
• Regular team events, lunches and activities

If your application is successful, you will participate in the following:

• Screening call with Louis (Recruiter)
• Culture fit call (video call) with someone from the team
• Take home case study
• Final on-site interview with Etienne (CEO) and the team
