You will lead a team of highly proficient channel specialists, driving scalable, efficient growth through Paid Search, Paid Social, Connected TV, Audio, OOH, and emerging channels.

  • Build and evolve Apollo's full measurement and attribution framework, including pixel configurations, CAPI integrations, and marketing mix modeling.
  • Drive a systematic testing and experimentation strategy across creative, audience, bid strategy, landing pages, and channel mix.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Creative, Brand, Analytics, Product, and Finance to align paid programs with broader company goals.
  • Own forecasting, pacing, and performance reporting, translating data into clear recommendations for senior leadership.
  • Manage relationships with external agencies, media partners, and technology vendors.
  • Champion both PLG and SLG acquisition motions, understanding how paid channels serve different parts of the funnel and buying journey.

Skills & Expertise

  • 10+ years of experience in performance marketing, with significant time in B2B SaaS.
  • Proven track record of driving strong, measurable results at a high-growth company managing a large, complex media budget.
  • Deep hands-on expertise across Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and offline channels (TV, Audio, OOH).
  • Strong command of tracking and attribution; pixel setup, server-side/CAPI configurations, UTM frameworks, and multi-touch attribution models.
  • Highly analytical; comfortable working in data tools (e.g., Looker & Amplitude) and partnering closely with analytics teams.
  • Experienced at building, managing, and mentoring senior individual contributors.
  • Excellent communicator who distills complex data into clear narratives for executive audiences.
