About the Role
DeepL is at an inflection point in its growth, and this is an opportunity to shape how the world's most accurate AI translation company reaches and converts its highest-value accounts. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave. As Performance Marketing Manager, you will own DeepL's global programmatic and account-based advertising programmes end to end, across EMEA, DACH, AMER and APJ for our Language AI, Voice and API product lines.
This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role. You'll step into a live programme with a seven-figure annual media budget, established DSP and ABM platform partnerships, and campaigns running across native, display, CTV, audio and DOOH. Your job is to keep that engine running and improve it: sharpening targeting and creative, closing the gaps in attribution and CRM integration, managing our media and ABM partners, and working with Field, SDR and regional marketing teams to turn account engagement into pipeline.
What You'll Own:
Programmatic Campaign Execution
Build, launch and continuously optimize account-list and retargeting campaigns across programmatic native, display, CTV, audio and DOOH, spanning multiple products and regions.
Manage a substantial always-on media budget across markets, reallocating spend between products, channels and geographies based on performance rather than plan.
Own the campaign planning cycle and keep launches unblocked by chasing the account lists, landing pages and assets each one depends on.
Test creative, formats, targeting and channel mix, and act decisively on what the data shows — including pulling assets that underperform in-market.
Account-Based Marketing
Own our ABM platform as the internal expert, building personalised landing pages and microsites for named target accounts with tailored messaging, proof points and calls to action.
Run coordinated account plays that pair those personalised destinations with programmatic and paid social distribution, so accounts meet a consistent narrative wherever they encounter DeepL.
