Job Summary

Drive paid acquisition strategy and revenue outcomes across multiple channels for a high-growth B2B SaaS/fintech team.

  • Must-have: 3–5+ years running profitable paid acquisition in B2B SaaS, fintech, or payments.
  • Standout: Agentic AI workflows that compress testing cycles and automate variant generation.
  • Standout: End-to-end channel ownership with CAC/ROAS discipline.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • We own paid acquisition from spend to revenue outcome. That means hitting payback period targets, improving unit economics over time, and making disciplined channel decisions based on what the data actually says
  • Daily optimization: bid strategies, audience refinement, creative testing, landing page variants
  • Weekly decision-making: scale, iterate, or kill based on actual CAC and conversion data
  • You manage the budget like it's your money because we track every dollar to closed revenue
  • Build and manage affiliate/referral programs that generate qualified merchant leads
  • Recruit partners, negotiate terms, create offers that convert
  • Own tracking infrastructure so we know exactly what drives what
  • Merchant comparison sites, industry aggregators, referral networks—if it performs, you scale it
  • Find channels our competitors haven't discovered or exhausted yet
  • Test unconventional tactics: Reddit communities, vertical-specific forums, niche directories

Requirements

  • 3-5+ years running profitable paid acquisition in B2B SaaS, fintech, payments, or similarly competitive markets, experience with application or underwriting a plus
  • You've personally managed tens of thousands in monthly ad spend and can show the CAC, conversion rates, and ROAS you achieved
  • Built something from zero to scale, not just optimized existing programs
  • Deep ad platform fluency: campaign structure, bidding strategies, Quality Score optimization, audience layering
  • Attribution competence in a cookieless environment, first-party data strategy, server-side tracking, CRM integration, modeled and multi-touch attribution
  • Affiliate bidding and partnership experience, you've recruited partners, structured offers, and tracked performance
  • Comfortable with constraints, you've made small budgets work, not just managed large ones as this is about efficiency first
  • Agentic workflows, you've built or orchestrated multi-step AI pipelines that run tests, read outputs, and iterate. Not prompting a chatbot for headlines; actually compressing work that used to take days into hours
  • Velocity, your testing throughput is demonstrably faster because of how you use AI tools, and you can prove it with results. You also know where AI breaks down and you validate before you act

    Benefits

    • US location-neutral work environment
    • Home-office equipment stipend
    • Flexible paid time off
    • Employee Engagement (Lunch & Learns, team building events)
    • Learning & Development culture
    • Comprehensive health benefits
