Performance Marketing Manager (m/f/d)

We are traide AI – a VC-backed, B2B SaaS startup based in Berlin, using AI to solve one of the most overlooked yet critical challenges in international trade: customs compliance. Our software automates product classification, reduces regulatory errors, and helps customers save up to 83% of their time. Trusted by companies like Siemens Healthineers, BMW, Rimowa, Continental, Edeka, and KoRo, we've experienced rapid growth and are scaling fast – and we're just getting started.

As an ambitious team, we focus on sustainable, high-quality growth. Our product creates real value — now we’re looking for a Performance Marketing Manager who takes full ownership of our paid channels and systematically scales them with a strong data-driven mindset.

• Plan, launch, test, and optimize full-funnel campaigns — from awareness to qualified pipeline

• Develop high-converting ad concepts in close collaboration with design and content

• Continuously analyze performance metrics, improve tracking setups, and translate insights into actionable optimizations

• Take full budget responsibility including allocation, monitoring, forecasting, and ROI optimization

• Align closely with Marketing, Sales, and Product to support both self-service and sales-driven growth

• Proactively test new channels, audiences, creatives, and formats to unlock new growth levers

Qualifikation

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in performance marketing, ideally in B2B SaaS

• Proven track record in scaling paid acquisition and contributing directly to pipeline growth

• Strong expertise in Google Ads and Meta Ads; LinkedIn Ads experience is a plus

• Deep understanding of KPIs across the full funnel (CPL, CAC, CPX, CVR, pipeline impact)

• Experience with tracking, attribution models, and marketing automation tools (e.g. HubSpot, GA4)

• Strong analytical mindset combined with strategic thinking

• High level of ownership and a drive to continuously challenge the status quo

• Excellent communication skills and cross-functional collaboration abilities

• Fluent German (minimum C1) is a knockout criterion; very good English skills required

Nice to have

• Experience in a fast-growing startup or agency environment

• Strong reporting and dashboard skills (e.g. Looker Studio, Google Sheets)

• Affinity for AI-driven products or complex B2B solutions

Benefits

• Real ownership from day one — your work directly impacts company growth

• True startup spirit with fast decision-making and meaningful responsibility

• Urban Sports Club membership

• Office at Senefelder Platz in Prenzlauer Berg

• Flexible working model: In our beautiful office, we foster a vibrant team culture and enjoy working together on-site. Home office is possible 2 days per week.

• Regular team events and close collaboration with customers and stakeholders

• Flat hierarchies and direct communication

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. If you're passionate about making a difference and eager to learn, we'd love to hear from you – even if you don't meet every requirement.

And one more thing: We’re not just building an AI product, we’re building an AI company. From how we think about processes to how we grow teams and shape our culture – AI is at the core of how we operate.

Application process: You will receive feedback within two weeks. The process includes interviews, a practical challenge, and conversations with our team.
