Performance Marketing Manager

About the role

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

About the role

We're hiring a Performance Marketing Manager to help scale our growth engine. You'll build and optimize full-funnel campaigns across Google Ads, LinkedIn, Meta, Reddit, YouTube, and emerging developer-focused platforms, turning paid media investment into qualified signups, pipeline, and revenue.

This is a highly analytical, hands-on role with ownership spanning channel strategy, campaign execution, creative testing, landing-page experimentation, and measurement. You'll work closely with creative, content, product marketing, sales, lifecycle, data, and engineering to improve performance at every stage of the funnel, from the first impression through downstream conversion.

Responsibilities

• Paid acquisition: Own and scale paid acquisition across Google Ads, LinkedIn, Meta, Reddit, YouTube, and emerging developer-focused platforms; build and optimize full-funnel campaigns that drive qualified signups, pipeline, and revenue, not just clicks
• Channel strategy: Develop channel strategy across search, paid social, retargeting, and experimentation budgets; manage campaign structure, keyword strategy, audience segmentation, and bidding to improve CAC and payback
• Creative & landing pages: Test ad copy and creative angles tailored to technical audiences; partner closely with creative, content, and product marketing to ship high-performing ad concepts and landing page iterations
• Measurement & reporting: Own measurement and attribution, with support from ops and engineering (tracking setup, conversion quality, offline conversion imports, and incrementality testing); analyze performance trends and communicate results clearly through dashboards, reporting, and weekly insights
• Experimentation: Run structured experiments to identify new growth levers (new audiences, formats, offers, onboarding flows); stay current on platform changes, AI-driven campaign formats, and new opportunities in the paid media ecosystem
• Downstream conversion: Collaborate with sales, lifecycle, and data teams to improve lead quality and conversion rates downstream

Basic Qualifications

• Experience with Google Ads (Search, YouTube, Performance Max) and at least one major paid social platform
• Experience in B2B paid media

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Track record of managing meaningful monthly budgets and scaling spend efficiently while maintaining performance
• Experience managing paid media for a mobile app
• Understanding of funnel metrics: CAC, LTV, payback period, and conversion rates
• Experience with analytics and attribution tools
• Analytical mindset with comfort in spreadsheets, cohort analysis, and performance modeling
• Ability to move fast, test often, and iterate based on data and user insight
• Comfort working cross-functionally in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment

Additional Requirements

• Onsite role: must be able to work in person at the San Francisco office
