About Genus AI

Genus AI is the operating layer for AI-native commerce.

We help leading DTC brands turn their product catalog into a performance engine - combining feed infrastructure, AI-generated creative, and performance intelligence to drive revenue across paid channels.

This is not traditional media buying.
This is catalog-driven growth at scale.

We work with brands spending $50Kโ€“$1M+ per month โ€” where DPA is not a tactic, it is the system.

The Role

We are hiring a Senior Performance Marketing Manager focused on Dynamic Product Ads (DPA), catalog strategy, and performance systems.

You will own a portfolio of high-growth DTC brands and be responsible for:

  • Turning product catalogs into scalable acquisition engines
  • Structuring DPA systems that drive consistent ROAS
  • Connecting feed logic, creative systems, and campaign performance

This is not a creative-first role.
This is a performance + infrastructure role.

You are not optimizing ads.
You are designing the system that makes ads work.

What Youโ€™ll Own

๐Ÿ“ฆ Catalog & DPA Strategy (Core)

  • Architect and scale Dynamic Product Ad systems across Meta and other channels
  • Structure product feeds, product sets, and segmentation logic
  • Define how catalog data translates into campaign performance
  • Identify revenue opportunities at the SKU / product level

You think in:

  • product sets
  • feed rules
  • catalog transformations - not individual ads

Performance Ownership

  • Own $50Kโ€“$500K+/month in ad spend across 10+ brands
  • Drive core metrics: ROAS, CPA, CTR, contribution margin
  • Analyze performance at the product, creative system, and audience level
  • Identify scaling opportunities and inefficiencies quickly

You operate like:
๐Ÿ‘‰ a performance marketer
๐Ÿ‘‰ with a data scientist mindset

System Design & Optimization

  • Build and iterate campaign architectures (CBO / ASC / DPA frameworks)
  • Design and execute structured testing systems (not random iteration)
  • Connect catalog โ†’ creative โ†’ audience โ†’ performance loop
  • Improve signal quality and learning phase stability

This is about systems that scale, not tactics that spike.

Client Strategy & Leadership

  • Lead performance conversations with senior stakeholders
  • Translate data into clear growth strategy
  • Proactively identify revenue opportunities
  • Act as a trusted operator, not just a service provider

Internal Leadership

  • Mentor junior team members (creative + performance)
  • Help define best practices for catalog-driven advertising
  • Contribute to internal playbooks and frameworks
  • Work closely with product and engineering to improve platform capabilities

Core Experience

  • 4โ€“7+ years in performance marketing (Meta-heavy DTC)
  • Proven experience managing $100Kโ€“$1M+/month spend
  • Strong track record hitting ROAS / CAC / MER targets
  • Deep understanding of Meta ad system mechanics

Critical Skill Set (Non-Negotiable)

  • Experience with Dynamic Product Ads (DPA)
  • Strong understanding of product feeds, product sets, and catalog segmentation
  • Ability to analyze performance at SKU-level granularity
  • Structured thinking around testing and experimentation

Mindset

  • You think in systems, not assets
  • You care about revenue, not vanity metrics
  • You are high ownership and fast-moving
  • You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and speed

Tools & Stack

  • Meta Ads Manager (advanced)
  • Shopify (or equivalent ecommerce platforms)
  • Google Merchant Center
  • Google Sheets / Excel (strong)

Bonus:

  • Experience with feed tools (Feedonomics, DataFeedWatch, etc.)
  • Experience with AI-driven creative or catalog systems

What Success Looks Like

Within 90 days:

  • You restructure accounts into clear DPA-driven systems
  • You identify key product-level performance levers
  • You establish repeatable testing frameworks

Within 6 months:

  • You drive consistent improvements in MER, ROAS, and CAC
  • You create scalable catalog strategies across accounts
  • You become a go-to operator for high-value clients

Why This Role Is Different

Most performance roles:

  • optimize campaigns
  • react to data

This role:

  • builds the system underneath performance
  • treats the catalog as the core growth engine
  • operates at the intersection of:
    • data
    • infrastructure
    • AI
    • media buying

Who Thrives Here

  • Builders, not operators
  • People who want to define how modern commerce actually runs
  • Individuals who want to be early in agentic + catalog-driven advertising

Highly competitive salary, depending on experience
Rapid growth potential for high performers
