Hire a Remote Performance Marketer
A performance marketer owns the channels you pay for and the numbers they produce, running acquisition across search, social, and beyond with a target cost per customer to hit.
What the role does
A performance marketer decides where your acquisition budget goes and answers for the result. They run campaigns across the channels that suit your business, test creative and landing pages, and keep attribution honest enough that budget decisions can be trusted. Week to week, that means reading performance across channels, moving spend toward what converts, and testing new angles and audiences before the current ones tire.
When a company needs one
Most companies bring in a performance marketer when spend has grown big enough that guessing is expensive, or when several channels are running with nobody comparing them properly. It is also the right hire when you need someone accountable for a cost per customer number rather than for channel activity.
What Growthbuddy looks for
We look for people who are comfortable being measured. They should be able to run campaigns across more than one platform, set up measurement they trust, and make a clear call about where budget goes next. The strongest candidates talk about payback periods and customer acquisition cost rather than clicks. We only shortlist people we would be happy to have representing our own business.

Example responsibilities
The working model
You get a dedicated remote performance marketer accountable for your acquisition numbers, working in your ad accounts, analytics, and team priorities. Growthbuddy handles the search, the vetting, the employment, and the ongoing coaching, so you get an owner for the number without carrying the hiring risk.
Why hire remote talent
Performance marketing is measured in numbers that are visible to everyone, which makes it a role where remote work is easy to manage. Hiring beyond your own city gives you people who have scaled acquisition at your stage, usually at well below the cost of a local hire.
What it costs
You pay a flat monthly rate for a dedicated performance marketer, so your management cost stays steady as your ad budget grows. There is no recruitment fee and no long contract, and our pricing page has the detail.

Final thoughts
Paid acquisition works best when one person owns the number and has the authority to move budget behind what is working. That is the job. Want help finding one? Talk to us
