The Role
We are hiring a Senior Performance Marketing Manager to own and improve our Meta advertising program. This is a senior individual contributor role where you will manage the platform daily, test multiple campaign variables and own the outcome. There is no team to manage. We need a hands-on operator to evaluate data, develop strategies, get buy-in from leadership, and deliver results.
What You'll Do
- Leverage our Meta Conversions API (CAPI) connection to drive Scale and Cash ROI improvements in our Meta campaigns
- Build, launch, and scale Meta campaigns to deliver qualified buyers and cash ROI, not just lead volume.
- Evolve our Meta campaigns and performance based on a deep understanding of our KPIs and first-hand experience in leveraging CAPI for other businesses.
- Work with our Director of Business Optimization to align incremental, data-driven test design
- Manage long sales-cycle, event-based campaigns from top of funnel to revenue conversion.
- Adjust campaigns to consistently deliver monthly cash, buyer, and sales targets.
- Utilize off-platform analysis to diagnose and improve campaign performance.
- Mitigate lead fraud and low-quality traffic proactively.
- Collaborate closely with creative, analytics, and sales teams to close the loop between ad spend and business results.
What We Require
- 3+ years of experience with Meta Conversions API: leveraging, maintaining, and optimizing a Meta Conversions API (CAPI) connection.
- Hands-on experience with server-side event architecture, deduplication logic, Event Match Quality (EMQ) improvement, and parameter enrichment are required.
- Deep, hands-on fluency across Meta's full platform stack: Events Manager, Ads Manager, Advantage+ and ASC campaigns, value-based lookalikes, Aggregated Event Measurement (AEM), and the Meta Marketing API.
- Experience with server-side event implementation — whether through server-side GTM, Meta's Conversions API Gateway, or direct API integration. In short, illustrate a proven ability to leverage and evolve a Conversion API to deliver performance improvement.
- A documented, progressive track record of scaling spend while improving efficiency — cost per qualified lead down, ROAS up, consistently. Be prepared to discuss specific numbers, accounts, strategic and technical decisions you made and why.
- Strong analytical capability applied directly to business outcomes: cash ROI, cost per buyer, and qualified lead quality.
- Experience operating with channel ownership and accountability in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with big-ticket, high-consideration products and offers with long sales cycles.
- Event-based or webinar-style lead generation campaigns.
- Familiarity with CRM platforms and landing page tools.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary ($90,000–$115,000)
- Comprehensive benefits - health, dental, vision, 401k
- Access to full suite financial education products

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
