Location:

Our company headquarters are in Austin, TX, but our employees work remotely across the US. For folks who live around Austin, we offer the option to join us in our office or opt for hybrid setup. Whether you prefer the structure of an office, the convenience of remote work, or a mix of both, we support what works best for you!

Please note: at this time we are not able to hire in California or Massachusetts.

• Stay ahead of trends in performance marketing and identify new opportunities for growth.

What We're Looking For:

As we evaluate candidates across all roles, we look for folks with a strong sense of ownership, excellent communication and collaboration skills, and a dedication to continuous improvement.

• 7-10 years of experience in performance marketing, with direct ownership of paid social channels (Meta, Snap, TikTok strongly preferred)
• Proven track record of scaling campaigns and optimizing CAC/LTV
• Comfort with data analysis, A/B testing, and performance measurement (e.g., Google Analytics, MMPs, internal dashboards)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate performance insights into business impact

• Experience in insurance, fintech, or another high-consideration category is a plus

Why Work Here?

When we say “All Stripes Welcome,” we mean it. Considering viewpoints outside of our own as individuals creates a better, more inclusive experience for everyone.

We live and breathe inclusion. You will be part of a wide array of voices, opinions, and experiences that inform everything we do.

We believe in innovation. You will be part of experimentation; creative problem solving; cross-functional collaboration; testing new approaches, tools and ideas and learning from those tests; and understanding when innovation can drive real impacts and when it may not be needed.

We trust our teams. You’ll own your work, balancing personal accountability with team accountability. Together, we take pride in individual and team contributions; make thoughtful decisions; and want our teammates to succeed.

We care about each other. You’ll join a team that truly lives their values, both in and out of the office. Our Zeebs have honest conversations, give direct feedback, and remember that we are all people here to do great work.
