Descripción de la vacante

Ramp Talent is conducting a confidential search for a Vice President of Performance Marketing to lead end-to-end demand generation across SEO, SEM, email, affiliate, and emerging channels.

Reporting to the CGO, the VP will design a high-velocity funnel, implement real-time optimization, and build a world-class team capable of scaling to multi-million-dollar budgets while delivering measurable revenue attribution.

Formación

• 10+ years in performance marketing with 5+ years in a senior leadership role.
• Proven P&L impact with $10M+ budgets and revenue attribution.
• Advanced proficiency in forecasting, attribution modeling, and MMM/incrementality tooling.
• Experience hiring, developing, and leading marketing teams (8+ members).
• Creative problem-solving with bold hypotheses and fast iteration.
• Collaborates with Sales, Product, and Executives.

Responsabilidades

• Strategic Ownership: Design and execute a unified performance marketing strategy that drives predictable, scalable demand across B2B and B2C segments, with authority to reallocate budget across channels to hit efficiency targets.
• Funnel Architecture: Build and optimize a multi-touch attribution funnel with stage-specific KPIs (MQL, SQL, SAL, pipeline velocity, revenue attribution), owning SQL conversion rate and pipeline-to-lead ratio as core KPIs alongside lead volume and CPL.
• Target Setting & Accountability: Define, forecast, and hit aggressive growth targets for lead volume, cost-per-lead, conversion rates, and downstream revenue impact — including scaling paid spend well beyond current levels while resisting the CPL/CAC inflation that typically emerges as core channels (Google, Meta, LinkedIn) saturate at 7-figure monthly spend.
• Data & Analytics Leadership: Establish enterprise-grade reporting, dashboards, and experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, incrementality, LTV:CAC modeling), including marketing mix modeling (MMM) and incrementality testing to validate performance beyond last-click and standard multi-touch attribution, which become unreliable at this scale.
• Team Building & Leadership: Scale and mentor a high-performing team; recruit senior talent in paid social, SEO, and lifecycle marketing.
• Innovation & Channel Expansion: Identify and pilot high-ROI channels (e.g., TikTok, Reddit, partner co-marketing, review platforms) while optimizing core engines (Google, LinkedIn, Meta), and own creative testing velocity and production pipeline as a primary lever against CPL inflation, treating creative supply as a scaling bottleneck alongside bidding and audience strategy.

• Data & Analytics Leadership: Establish enterprise‑grade reporting, dashboards, and experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, incrementality, LTV:CAC modeling), including marketing mix modeling (MMM) and incrementality testing to validate performance beyond last-click and standard multi‑touch attribution, which become unreliable at this scale.

Preferred Experience

• Led demand gen at a company with $200M+ ARR or 1M+ monthly active users.
• Experience operating at $1.5M+/month spend levels is strongly preferred, where diminishing returns and inventory saturation behave differently than at lower budgets.
