Performance Marketing Manager (m/f/d)

talenthafen stands for excellence in modern recruiting.
We are a strategic consultancy and systems house for employer positioning and talent acquisition – with technological depth, clear systems, and operational implementation power.
In the DACH region, we are among the leading companies in our segment. Medium-sized and large organizations such as Voets Gruppe, Westfalen, and Nord-Ostsee Sparkasse trust our expertise when it comes to sustainably positioning themselves as relevant and future-proof employers.

Our claim is not to follow the market – but to actively shape it.

talenthafen is a pioneer in recruiting innovation.
We live progress. We develop our own systems, implement automations, and consistently integrate artificial intelligence into our internal processes and customer structures. This allows us to create scalable, measurable, and sustainable solutions – and set new industry standards.

Behind this claim is a strong foundation:
A team of over 60 ambitious personalities who think entrepreneurially, take responsibility, and want to continuously develop. On more than 900 m² of office space in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, the next level of modern talent acquisition is created daily – both humanly and technically.

What makes us special is not only our market position and software, but the quality of our team.

We work performance-oriented, professionally, and with clear standards. High demands meet high appreciation with us: above-average compensation, real development perspectives, and an environment where excellence is fostered.

talenthafen is not a classic recruiting company. We combine performance marketing with our own tech platform talenthafenOS – over 70 automated workflows that redefine the HR market. Bootstrapped, profitable, triple-digit growth. You work at the interface of consulting and technology, in a market that is currently being completely restructured.

Your Role: Setting up, managing, and optimizing recruiting campaigns with talenthafenOS. You will take care of what ultimately determines success – performance.

Tasks

Your Daily Business

• Full ownership for your client accounts. You manage paid campaigns on Meta, Google & Co. for our top B2B clients – from target audience to funnel to scaling. Campaign success is your responsibility, not that of "the team"

• Proactive performance management. You don't wait for reports or instructions – you recognize when a campaign is going off track before it becomes a problem, and you steer it back.

• Close collaboration with other departments. The strategy consultants maintain customer contact and provide you with the necessary context – you translate it into campaigns that deliver. Short communication channels, clear agreements, shared responsibility for the results.

• Cross-channel creative and target audience thinking. You don't think in platform silos, but in target audiences, messages, and hooks – and you understand how creative, targeting, and data work together.

• Understanding customers. Each customer has their own market, their own target audiences, their own bottlenecks. You understand your customers' business so well that your campaign decisions are strategically justified – not just technically.

• Continuous improvement. You question ongoing setups: Which channel, which creative, which funnel step still has potential? Stagnation is not an option.

• AI as a lever, not a buzzword. You use our platform and modern AI tools to elevate research, creative testing, and optimization to a level that is not achievable manually – and you bring your own ideas on how to make it even better.

Qualification

Who we are looking for:

• Experience with paid campaigns. You have planned and managed campaigns independently and are familiar with campaign structures, creative testing, and the most important bid and attribution logics.
• Data competence. Numbers are the basis of every decision for you, not a tedious duty. You know which KPI counts when.
• Self-motivation and commitment. You don't need anyone to push or remind you. What you take on, gets done – with quality and within the timeframe.
• An entrepreneurial mindset. You think in levers and next steps, actively seek inspiration – from ad libraries, other markets, new formats – and think beyond the scope of your task list.
• Curiosity. You are eager to work with your own software platform, try new things, and learn.

Benefits

What we offer:

• Our own recruiting platform (talenthafenOS) instead of off-the-shelf tools.

• Self-financed, profitable, and strongly growing.

• Exciting clients across the DACH region's medium-sized businesses.

• Good salary and a clear career path.

• An ambitious team where feedback and development are truly lived.

• Modern office in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld – creative & professional at the same time.

• Structured onboarding & honest mentoring.

• Open communication and short decision-making paths.

You get this on top

• 500€ health budget or subsidy for Wellpass.
• 50€ monthly for your retirement provision.
• MacBook – also for private use.
• Regular barbecue & team evenings (every 3 months).
• Room for your professional and personal development.

...and everything that comes with it (fruit basket & co).
