We’re looking for an experienced commercially driven, strategic, and hands‑on Performance Marketing Manager to join our Bristol-based team and play a central role in shaping the growth strategy of globally recognised tech events - bringing creativity and precision to campaigns that reach high‑value, niche audiences across sectors.

The candidate must be data‑led with a proven track record and experience specifically in paid search, paid social, email campaign delivery and affiliate marketing.

Key Responsibilities

• PPC / Paid Search: Manage day‑to‑day execution of paid advertising campaigns across platforms including Google Ads and Bing.
• Paid Social: Plan, build, and optimise campaigns across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and other relevant channels.
• Email Marketing: Execute targeted email campaigns including segmentation, A/B testing, and basic automations.
• Audience Segmentation & Targeting: Develop nuanced audience segmentation strategies for B2B and B2C event campaigns. Leverage data and insight to tailor messaging and media mix to high‑intent, niche segments across channels.
• Affiliate & Partner Marketing: Manage and grow partnerships that expand our reach and drive ROI.
• Performance Reporting: Deliver weekly insights across all channels, tracking key metrics such as spend, CPA, ROAS, and contribution to revenue.
• Budget Management: Own and optimise media spend across channels, ensuring alignment with revenue targets and cost‑efficiency goals.
• Micro‑Campaign Development: Design and execute agile micro‑campaigns aligned to specific stages of the event lifecycle — pre‑launch, registration bursts, last‑minute offers — optimising for velocity and cost per acquisition.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with sales, conference production, and operations teams to ensure alignment on audience targets and campaign strategy.

What We’re Looking For

• Demonstrated success in a performance marketing role, ideally in the events or tech industry.
• Experience building campaigns that balance always‑on acquisition with short‑burst, audience‑specific activations — ideally in a ticketed, time‑sensitive environment.
• In‑depth knowledge of digital ad platforms (Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, etc.).
• Strong analytical mindset with experience translating data into actionable insights.
• Confident managing budgets and making ROI‑focused decisions.
• Highly organised, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working at pace in a collaborative environment.

• Flexible hybrid working (Bristol based office)
• Opportunities for international travel to events
