Job Description
Head of Performance Marketing
London - £100k-£120k + bonus + benefits
(UK-based candidates only - relocation or sponsorship not available)
A high-growth, VC-backed direct-to-consumer scale-up is seeking a Head of Performance Marketing to take full ownership of its customer acquisition strategy, build a high-performing function from scratch, and deliver measurable commercial outcomes. The business has achieved strong market traction, secured investment, and is now entering a pivotal growth phase. This is a career-defining opportunity for a senior marketing professional with a proven track record of scaling performance marketing functions.
This is not a role for someone looking to maintain the status quo. The successful candidate will be accountable for:
Delivering 50,000+ new customers over the next 12 months
Managing a £5m+ performance marketing budget across multiple channels
Designing, implementing, and optimising full-funnel acquisition, from awareness to funded customer
Building the performance marketing function from the ground up, including team structure, reporting dashboards, SLAs, and processes
Recruiting, developing, and leading a high-performing team capable of consistently exceeding targets
Short-term wins and expectations
Within the first 3-6 months, a high-performing Head of Performance Marketing will:
Establish a short-term strategy to increase acquisition ROI and deliver rapid customer growth, particularly during key seasonal periods
Optimise campaigns for efficiency and scale across all channels, balancing spend, CPA, and LTV
Demonstrate hands-on ability to drive performance while designing structures for long-term growth
Implement tracking, reporting, and attribution frameworks to measure marketing impact accurately
Identify and test new channels, audiences, and funnel tactics to unlock incremental growth
High performers in this role typically:
Can demonstrate experience scaling digital acquisition in a high-growth environment, delivering measurable ROI improvements
Have experience managing multi-million-pound budgets and making difficult prioritisation decisions to maximise impact
Build and support teams that deliver results, embedding a culture of ownership, experimentation, and high standards
Stay ahead of channel trends, creatively applying new approaches to improve performance
Are equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves on campaigns and presenting strategic insights to leadership
The role requires someone who is a strategic thinker and hands-on executor. You will have the ability to dive into campaign data, run experiments, optimise spend, and make quick, informed decisions that impact business growth. At the same time, you will work closely with leadership to set the long-term growth strategy, influencing product, creative, and analytics decisions.
Experience and capabilities required:
Proven success in scaling customer acquisition in high-growth consumer businesses
Breadth of expertise across Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, programmatic, affiliates, and other paid channels
Strong analytical skills, including attribution modelling, funnel optimisation, and testing frameworks
Demonstrable ability to build teams and processes from scratch, not just manage existing structures
Leadership mindset: collaborative, high standards, and able to inspire and develop others while delivering tangible results
What the business offers:
£100k-£120k base, plus bonus and benefits
Hybrid London-based working with flexible arrangements
High-visibility role reporting directly into senior leadership
Opportunity to define and shape the performance marketing function at a company on the brink of significant scale
A culture that values ownership, experimentation, high standards, and team collaboration
Candidates must be able to live and work in the UK; relocation or visa sponsorship cannot be provided.
All applications will receive a response.
If you have a proven track record of scaling performance marketing, building teams, and delivering commercial outcomes, this is a chance to take a role where your work will directly influence the future growth of the business.
