About The Position

Hark is seeking a Performance Marketing Lead to architect and execute our brand marketing and paid acquisition engine from its inception.

This is a high-impact, hands-on opportunity for an individual who excels at scaling systems efficiently and thrives in an environment where they are the one authoring the playbook rather than following one.

Requirements

• Over 5 years of professional experience in performance marketing, demonstrating direct accountability for paid budgets and quantifiable growth outcomes.
• Proven track record of architecting paid acquisition programs from inception rather than merely maintaining existing frameworks.
• Deep technical fluency across paid social, SEM, and sophisticated attribution modeling.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to synthesize data into actionable hypotheses and execute rapid iterations.
• Exceptional cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with creative, product, and executive leadership teams.
• Prior experience marketing within a new product category or consumer hardware sector is highly advantageous.
• A self-directed operator who thrives when authoring their own roadmap rather than following a predefined playbook.
