We’re seeking an experienced product leader to define and drive our global performance marketing product strategy — spanning SEO, SEM, Display, Metasearch, Affiliates, and Martech. You’ll own the roadmap for our audience growth engine, working cross-functionally to embed performance marketing into the product lifecycle and unlock high-quality traffic at scale.

You’ll lead a high-performing team and drive strategic collaboration across Engineering, UX, Content and Marketing. This is a highly visible, high-impact leadership role ideal for someone who blends technical acumen, analytical rigour and user-first thinking — and who thrives in fast-paced environments.

• Driving product strategy: You’ll own and evolve a comprehensive performance marketing roadmap aligned to business goals and long-term growth targets.

• Embedding performance principles: You’ll collaborate with engineering, UX, and marketing teams to integrate performance marketing into the heart of our product development cycle.

• Leading with insight: You’ll use tools like Google Ads, Analytics, Search Console, SEMrush and Ahrefs to inform decisions, prioritise work, and track impact across acquisition channels.

• Owning growth outcomes: You’ll be responsible for organic and paid traffic performance, leading complex initiatives such as large-scale international site migrations.

• Innovating for scale: You’ll identify new product opportunities that amplify acquisition across the funnel, advocating for user-first enhancements that meet performance goals.

• Leading a world-class team: You’ll mentor and grow a talented team working across SEO, SEM, Display, Metasearch, Affiliates and Martech — creating a culture of collaboration, autonomy, and experimentation.

• Senior product expert: You bring 10+ years of product management experience, with a proven track record in driving organic traffic and performance marketing success.

• Strong team leader: You’ve built, scaled, and inspired product teams, creating clarity and momentum across functions.

• Growth and performance mindset: You’re fluent in traffic acquisition, from SEO and SEM to display and affiliate — and you’ve delivered meaningful business results.

• Strategic collaborator: You align diverse stakeholder groups and influence cross-functionally at senior levels with confidence and clarity.

• Data-obsessed: You use experimentation, testing, KPIs and research to guide product thinking and prioritise what matters.

• Operationally excellent: You’ve delivered complex product initiatives at scale in fast-paced environments, ideally in ecommerce, marketplace or content-heavy settings.

• Relevant degree: You hold an undergraduate degree in engineering, mathematics, finance, or an MBA.

• SEO technical fluency: You understand HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and web infrastructure as it relates to SEO optimisation.

• Global experience: You’ve worked on international SEO and multi-language site strategy.

• Agile and adaptable: You’re well-versed in agile product management and managing complex project portfolios.
