Job description

LOOP is a digital-first lead agency, exploring the intersections between design, technology and digital brand building for leading brands. With a team of 400 digital talents and through data driven marketing, we help brave clients to stand out in the digital age. Over the last few years our brilliant team has done remarkable and innovative work for internationally recognised high‑profile brands such as Puma, Audi, Breitling, Red Bull and numerous others.

We’re looking for a German-speaking Performance Marketing Manager (SEA focus) with a strong passion for new advertising trends and features and a conversion-driven mindset. Combining strategic thinking with hands‑on campaign management, you’ll turn data into actionable insights, optimise performance across digital channels, and help our clients achieve sustainable growth. Working closely with clients and cross‑functional teams, you’ll bring analytical expertise, clear communication, and a constant drive to improve results.

Requirements

• Drive Performance Through SEA: Take ownership of Google Ads campaigns, developing and optimising search strategies that maximise conversions, improve efficiency, and deliver measurable business results.
• Understand Paid Social: Bring a basic knowledge of paid social platforms such as Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, so you can work across channels and help shape integrated media plans.
• Shape Digital Media Strategies: Analyse brands, audiences, search intent, and market opportunities to develop data‑driven media strategies and identify the right channels to reach campaign objectives.
• Launch, Optimise and Scale Campaigns: Manage campaigns across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, and other relevant digital platforms, including campaign architecture, feed management, market launches, and ongoing optimisation.
• Turn Data into Actionable Insights: Monitor KPIs and analyse performance across advertising platforms, GA4, and reporting tools to identify growth opportunities, improve profitability, and guide strategic decisions.
• Experiment and Improve Continuously: Develop testing frameworks and leverage smart bidding, automation, scripts, and reporting solutions to improve campaign efficiency and scale successful initiatives.
• Communicate with Confidence: Translate complex performance data into clear insights, compelling presentations, and actionable recommendations, communicating effectively with clients and internal stakeholders in fluent German and English.
• Collaborate and Stay Ahead: Work closely with creative, analytics, and media teams to deliver integrated digital campaigns, share knowledge, and stay on top of evolving search trends, platform developments, and new opportunities for growth.
• Bring Curiosity and Drive to Learn: Show a real passion for learning and a willingness to explore new platforms, tools and approaches, taking initiative to build your skills and grow with every campaign.

Benefits

• 4-day Workweek: At LOOP you can choose between a 5‑day or a 4‑day workweek - and have the freedom to switch between these models twice a year
• Free Sports and Fitness: Yoga, fitness, climbing, tennis and more. LOOP covers the costs and gives you access to fitness studios and sports facilities across Austria or Germany
• +20% Vacation: We don’t believe there can be enough time to recharge, that’s why all our team members get +20% vacation days per year, we call it Sunny Hours
• 4000+ m² Office Space: Our loft space is part of our identity. An ideal environment for working, collaborating and finding inspiration — with an additional 600m² film- and photo studio
• 100% Hybrid Work: Home office or LOOP office space? It’s your choice every day, and you don’t even need approval
• International and Diverse: Team members from 40+ different nationalities in 7 locations, English as main language and a 55% female leadership quota
• And much more: Language Courses, Visa Support, LOOP.Horizon workshops and trainings, Klimaticket Contribution, Audiobook Library, Headspace App Subscription, etc

At LOOP, we believe great work deserves fair pay — and that transparency builds trust. For this role, the gross annual starting salary (full‑time, based in Austria) is EUR 40,000. That’s our baseline for candidates who meet the key requirements. If you bring more to the table — deeper experience, sharper skills — we’re ready to reflect that in your offer. Our internal compensation framework is designed to keep things fair, structured, and clear.

So, if you are motivated to join the LOOP Team, we are happy to offer you a position as a Performance Marketing Manager (SEA focus) in Salzburg, Vienna, or Berlin.
