About the role
Performance Account Director · Reports to the Founder · Hybrid, London (3 days office, 2 days home) · Salary: £60-£85k
303 is a creative performance agency for premium and luxury brands, working across fashion, automotive, homeware, and health and wellness. We bring creative strategy, content production and performance media together under one roof.
We're hiring a senior performance marketer to lead our performance function and shape its next stage. You'll oversee a portfolio of premium and luxury clients across paid social, led by Meta, alongside Pinterest and paid search.
You'll lead an experienced performance team and work closely with our Creative Strategy Lead, account management team and in-house creative department. As the team grows, your focus will move from hands-on account work towards leading people, clients and the commercial direction of the department.
Key responsibilities
Performance strategy and paid media
- Set performance strategy across the client portfolio.
- Provide senior oversight of Meta and other paid media accounts: audit them hands-on in Ads Manager, find opportunities to improve efficiency and scale.
- Direct, challenge and improve the people running day-to-day optimisation.
- Own account structure, optimisation methodology and testing frameworks.
Creative and performance
- Work in parallel with the Creative Strategy Lead to build a fast feedback loop between media and our in-house creative.
- Turn performance data into usable creative insight, then test, distribute and scale the work.
- Protect brand perception: avoid tactics that drive short-term numbers but make premium brands feel less premium.
Client leadership
- Be accountable for the strength and retention of the performance client portfolio.
- Act as the senior performance partner to clients, alongside our account management team.
- Understand clients' businesses, challenge them when needed, communicate performance clearly and spot growth opportunities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Measurement and reporting
- Own reporting frameworks and measurement across the department.
- Help clients and internal teams understand attribution, the limits of platform-reported data and how to decide well when attribution isn't perfect.
Team and operations
- Shape and grow the performance team as the agency expands.
- Define team structure, recruit, and develop and progress the people underneath you.
- Improve processes, tools, capacity planning and operational efficiency.
Commercial and new business
- Take growing ownership of the performance department's commercial performance and P&L.
- Support scoping and pricing.
- Contribute to new business: pitches, prospect account audits, media strategies and resource forecasts.
- Help develop 303's performance proposition and what we offer premium brands next.
What success looks like in the first six months
- Client relationships: clients trust you and feel confident their performance marketing is in excellent hands.
- Performance and foundations: strong results, backed by clear account structure, measurement, reporting, testing and creative-performance collaboration.
- Leadership: you own the running of the department and give clear visibility on every client, opportunity and team need.
What you'll bring
Capability matters more to us than job title. This role will particularly suit someone from a smaller or independent agency who is used to working without layers of infrastructure.
Essential
- Exceptional Meta experience, with a track record of improving and scaling accounts.
- Experience managing meaningful media budgets across multiple clients.
- Strong strategic and technical paid social knowledge.
- Strong knowledge of attribution and performance measurement.
- A clear understanding of how creative drives media performance.
- Experience leading senior client relationships.
- Strong commercial awareness.
- Experience managing, mentoring or building teams.
- The ability to spot operational problems and implement solutions.
- Confidence to challenge existing approaches rather than maintain them.
