Performance Marketing Team Lead

The Mission

At Nace AI, we are building the cognitive infrastructure for the modern professional. Our platform empowers professional knowledge workers like auditors and accountants to get 1000 hours of productivity back.

Backed by General Catalyst and Intel, we have the capital, the pedigree, and the technical edge to define the future of work. We’ve found our early "true believers," and now we are looking for a Performance Marketing Team Lead to scale our reach to millions of professionals globally.

The Role

As our first dedicated Performance Lead, you will bridge the gap between high-level growth strategy and tactical execution. You’ll be responsible for building a world-class acquisition engine that targets high-value professionals, ensuring Nace AI becomes the default tool in their workflow.

What You’ll Do:

Scale Multi-Channel Growth: Own the strategy and execution across Search, Paid Social (LinkedIn/Meta), and high-intent platforms like Twitter/X and newsletter sponsorships.

Build the "Nace" Brand Engine: Lead a small team of growth marketers and creative specialists to produce ads that don't look like ads, but like essential tools for knowledge workers.

Rigorous Optimization: Manage substantial budgets with a relentless focus on unit economics—optimizing for LTV:CAC and payback periods.

Data Architecture: Partner with Engineering to ensure perfect attribution, building a data-forward culture where every creative experiment is measured and learned from.

In-Person Collaboration: Work side-by-side with our founders and product teams in our Palo Alto office to tighten the feedback loop between user acquisition and product development.

Who You Are

The Operator: 6+ years in Performance Marketing, with a proven track record of scaling B2B or "Prosumer" SaaS products from $0 to $10M+ ARR.

The Leader: You have experience managing high-performing teams or agencies and know how to get the best work out of creative and technical talent.

Analytical Rigor: You are dangerous with SQL and data visualization tools; you don't wait for reports, you build them.

AI-Native: You understand the AI landscape and are already using LLMs to optimize copy, analyze sentiment, or automate workflows.

Palo Alto Based: You value the "war room" energy of a physical office and are committed to being on-site with the team.

Why Nace AI?

Pedigree: Work with a team from top-tier institutions and companies, backed by the best VCs in the world.

Impact: You are joining early enough to shape the culture and the growth roadmap of a company aiming to be the "OS" for professional knowledge.

Competitive Package: Silicon Valley-standard salary, significant equity, and premium benefits.
