Description
We’re looking for an experienced Performance Marketing Lead to take ownership of one of our fastest-growing performance marketing initiatives.
You’ll lead the development and scaling of our Native Advertising capabilities across Taboola, Microsoft Ads, LiveIntent, and Newsbreak, working alongside Creative, CRO, and Analytics teams to build a high-performing media buying organization.

It’s an opportunity to build a platform.
You’ll initially lead a team of three Media Buyers while helping us recruit and develop additional specialists. As the business grows, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of our Native Advertising organization, with a clear opportunity to grow into Head of Native Pod.
If you’re passionate about experimentation, building teams, and solving difficult performance marketing challenges at scale, we’d love to talk.
