Hire freelance and contract performance marketing managers worldwide

Hire a freelance performance marketing manager when you want to scale paid acquisition, when cost per acquisition or return on ad spend is off target, or when you don't have a dedicated lead for paid channels. They're also useful for launches, seasonal peaks, covering leave, and testing new channels.

Performance marketing managers vary by channel, sector and focus. Some specialize in paid search and shopping, others in paid social, affiliates or app marketing, and others in e-commerce, lead generation or subscription growth. Some lead strategy and manage agencies, while others work hands-on in the platforms. Match their experience to your channels, goals and budget size.

Useful questions to ask before you book:

2. How do you set targets and budgets for performance campaigns?
3. How do you decide when to scale or cut a campaign?
4. How do you approach testing and optimization?
5. How do you set up tracking and handle attribution?
6. How do you manage agencies and platforms?
7. How do you work with creative and analytics teams?
8. How do you report results and forecast spend?

The cost of a freelance performance marketing manager depends mainly on seniority, channels and budget size managed, sector experience, whether the role is hands-on or strategic, and location. Freelancers set their own day rates, which you can see on their YunoJuno profile before you make contact.
