• Testing & Optimization: Run structured A/B tests on audiences, ad variants, and conversion paths
• Performance Analysis: Build dashboards, track attribution, and report weekly on what’s working
• Landing Page Optimization: Collaborate on landing page tests to improve conversion

• Proven track record managing paid campaigns that delivered measurable leads or pipeline growth
• Platform expertise in Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Meta – you know these inside out
• Strong copywriting skills for ads and landing pages
• AI-first mindset – you ask “how can AI help me do this faster?” before doing it manually
• Data-driven approach – comfortable with A/B testing, CRO, and performance analytics
• Comfortable briefing creatives – you don’t need to be a designer, but you know what makes ads convert
• Self-starter who thrives with autonomy in a fast-paced scale-up environment
• You know your way around HubSpot

🫶 Our Core Values

At Whale, we don’t believe you just stick the values on a wall somewhere. We live and breathe them in everything we do from product to meetings to team feedback and more.

Here’s what that means:

🧭 Agility is in our DNA: we move fast, iterate quickly, and stay focused on creating value.

🐇 We believe in simplicity with depth: every interaction should be easy without sacrificing quality.

⛵ We own the ship: we take initiative, act with autonomy, and lead even through ambiguity.

🐳 We challenge, then unite: diverse perspectives make us stronger, and once aligned, we move as one.

🫶 Above all, we are humble and honest: we respect each other, give feedback with care, and keep it real.
