Head of Performance Marketing

The Opportunity

Join our team as Head of Performance Marketing. This is a new role created due to company growth.

Key aspects of this role are:

1. Global scope – opportunity to build a global performance marketing operation.
2. Fast-growing company – startup 10 years ago, targeting $200-250m in 2-3 years.
3. Strong budget – serious commitment and significant budget from the owner.
4. Startup mindset – build the performance marketing team from the ground up.
5. Entrepreneurial culture – founder-led business, fast-moving and ambitious.
6. Career growth opportunity – grow your role as the business grows.
7. Group-level role – responsible for multiple businesses across the Group.

This is an opportunity to get on board and help drive our global expansion.

The Role

You will lead our Performance Marketing team. Your mission will be to build a performance marketing machine with global reach. You will build a paid demand gen program that dominates the attention of our niche target audience globally. You will build marketing funnels that engage and convert this niche audience. You will create a program for existing customers that lifts our deal origination and win rate. You will be relentless in your pursuit to maximise our audience reach and high-quality lead volume at high return on ad spend (ROAS). You will drive our performance marketing to dominate our niche market globally.

Key responsibilities include:

1. Lead & manage team.
2. Performance marketing strategy.
3. Demand gen (PPC, paid social, paid ads).
4. Lead gen (funnel design, content, email, remarketing, webinars, etc).
5. Sales deal enablement (process design, content, templates, etc).
6. Customer marketing (CRM-based, educate, nurture, grow share of wallet).
7. Marketing & sales tech stack (incl CRM optimisation).
8. Performance analysis, budget management & ROI optimisation.

A major transformation in our performance marketing is required to take our business to the next level. Our niche B2B market is unsophisticated when it comes to performance marketing and there is significant ‘low hanging fruit’ available. Our plan is to build a serious performance marketing operation to exploit this opportunity globally.

Key initiatives in the first 12-18 months for this role will be:

1. Build an A-player team.
2. Performance marketing strategy & implementation plan.
3. Rebuild baseline SEM program (product & application based).
4. Map content requirements for performance marketing program.
5. Build baseline lead gen funnels – test & iterate to find high-performers.
6. Evaluate paid demand gen channels – test & iterate to find high-performers.
7. Apply selected paid demand gen to high-performing lead gen funnels.
8. Build sales deal enablement workflow incl content & templates for key deal types.
9. Build ‘first-cut’ customer marketing program (CRM-based).
10. Review & upgrade marketing tech stack.
11. Setup marketing performance reporting (dashboard and weekly).
12. Replicate high-performing lead gen funnels into new markets (by language, region).

You will also support the broader Beaver Group including other operating businesses.

You will report to the General Manager – Growth & Marketing. The preferred location for this role is our Perth Head Office. We will consider a hybrid role for the initial 12 months for an exceptional candidate. We will provide relocation and visa assistance if required. You will need to build out your team (likely 3-4 in 12 months, 8-10 in 3 years), with an optimised mix of internal team, dedicated offshore support, and specialist agency or contractor project resources.

About You

We are looking for a competitive, results-focused performance marketing leader. You will have a high-performance mindset with a strong belief in the power of performance marketing to drive commercial outcomes. You will be analytical and use logic and data to drive decision-making. You will be highly accountable, hit deadlines, and beat targets. You will be digital-first, with strong tech capability, and a high need for control.

Experience required includes:

1. 8+ years relevant experience.
2. Previously setup or grown successful performance marketing team (not ‘first rodeo’).
3. Prior experience creating performance marketing operation with global reach (including localisation by region, language, etc).
4. Prior experience with customer marketing (repeat customers) and sales deal enablement.
