About the Role

We’re looking for a highly analytical, execution-oriented Performance Marketing Associate/Manager to join our Growth team. In this role, you will own the day-to-day management of paid acquisition across a portfolio of Fragile’s merchants—deploying capital, optimizing performance, and driving efficient, scalable growth.

This is a high-impact role with real decision-making authority. You will manage meaningful budgets (primarily on Meta to start), directly influence CAC and revenue outcomes, and see the immediate impact of your work.

Working across a portfolio of leading consumer brands, you’ll audit performance, identify opportunities, and design and execute experiments across creative, targeting, and funnel strategy. You’ll partner closely with merchants to align on goals and build durable, mutually beneficial operating models that unlock sustained growth for both sides.

What You Will Do

Own paid acquisition performance: Manage and optimize day-to-day performance marketing campaigns across key channels (e.g., Meta, Google) for a portfolio of merchants, with direct ownership over budget allocation and results.
Drive CAC efficiency: Continuously identify, test, and scale strategies to reduce customer acquisition cost (CAC) while maintaining or improving volume and quality.
Lead Creative Production: Manage a team of creative agencies to help produce direct response-focused ads that fight creative fatigue and drive improved performance over time.
Collaborate with merchants: Work closely with merchant partners to align on goals, share insights, and co-develop strategies to improve marketing performance and overall unit economics.
Scale what works: Systematically test new channels, audiences, and creative strategies—then operationalize and scale winning approaches across accounts.
Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate with internal teams across creative, data, and operations to improve campaign performance and execution quality.
Build playbooks and systems: Contribute to developing repeatable frameworks, testing methodologies, and best practices that improve performance across the portfolio.

Who You Are

2-5 years of experience in performance marketing, growth, or a related role with direct ownership of paid media budgets and outcomes
Hands-on experience managing campaigns in platforms like Meta and Google, with a strong understanding of performance levers (creative, targeting, bidding, attribution)

Highly analytical, with the ability to interpret performance data and quickly translate insights into action
Comfortable operating in-platform and owning execution, not just strategy
