Head of Client Performance & Success (Paid Media – High-Risk Verticals)
Join a forward-thinking SaaS company at the forefront of advertising technology for high-risk industries!
We are not just another AdTech SaaS Company; we help advertisers in grey zones (crypto, gaming, nutra, etc.) scale profitably on Facebook and other platforms.
Backed by proprietary tech and infrastructure, we give clients the tools, support, and systems to launch and grow fast without getting shut down.
We are hiring a senior performance marketing leader to build and own our Client Performance & Success function for high-risk advertising verticals, including Crypto, iGaming, Nutra, and related markets.

In parallel, define how Client Success operates internally and build a world-class customer support team.
This is a true ownership and leadership role, not a support or servicing function. Success is measured by performance, client longevity, and sustainable revenue expansion in challenging advertising environments.
