đ Join a growing, purpose-driven outdoor brand as we bring performance marketing in-house, with strong opportunities for development, progression and future people-management experience.
Our Mission & Who We Are...
SunGod was born in 2013 with a vision to create the worldâs best performance eyewear. We see a better world through our lenses, through our actions and through doing business better.
Our planet is our playground, so weâre a community-built brand thatâs sustainable to our core. With you, our mission is multiplied, and together we can See Better.
Weâre a dynamic and expanding team. Weâre results-driven and expect high-quality output from every team member. Weâre unlike any company youâve ever worked for before.
What is the job role?
Weâre looking for a creative, proactive and detail-oriented Performance Marketing Manager to join our growing marketing team.
This role would suit a strong Senior Paid Media Executive, Senior Performance Marketing Executive or Paid Social Specialist who is ready to take the next step in their career.
Youâll help shape and deliver our paid social and search strategy, with hands-on responsibility for campaign execution, optimisation, reporting and creative testing. Your initial focus will be Meta and TikTok, with the opportunity to develop greater ownership of Google Ads, YouTube and new channels over time.
Youâll take hands-on responsibility for helping manage a seven-figure annual paid-media budget across Meta, Google and TikTok, with scope to grow your ownership as the in-house function develops.
This is not a traditional media-buying role. Alongside managing campaigns, youâll analyse creative performance, identify customer insights and work with our Creative, Social and Partnerships teams to develop ideas, hooks and briefs that improve performance and strengthen the SunGod brand.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet â 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 â and where to focus when applying.
Youâll work closely with the Head of Performance Marketing and will be supported as you build broader channel, budget and strategic ownership. As the team grows, there may also be opportunities to support and line-manage a future junior hire.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver and optimise campaigns: Build, launch and optimise paid-media campaigns across Meta and TikTok, while supporting Google Ads and YouTube as your experience develops.
- Manage performance: Help manage and pace a seven-figure annual paid-media budget, monitoring revenue, acquisition costs and efficiency, and making informed adjustments in line with forecasts and commercial goals.
- Develop performance creative: Analyse ad-level results, identify winning hooks and formats, and turn customer insights into creative concepts, briefs and test plans.
- Support full-funnel growth: Contribute to prospecting, remarketing, product launches and international growth activity.
- Report and recommend: Produce clear performance reporting and translate data into practical recommendations for future campaigns.
- Collaborate across teams: Work closely with Creative, Social, Partnerships and Ecom to deliver campaigns that support both brand and commercial objectives.
- Help build the function: Support the transition to an in-house performance marketing model, contribute to new processes and gradually take on greater ownership as the team develops.
- Understand SunGodâs triple bottom line of people, planet and profit, and reflect these principles in your work.
Who are we looking for?

- Around three or more years of relevant paid-media experience, either in-house or agency-side.
- Strong hands-on experience building, launching and optimising campaigns in Meta Ads Manager.
