Performance Marketing Manager

READY TO DO WORK YOU'RE PROUD OF?

At Charlie Oscar, we’re not your typical digital marketing agency - we’re a team of big thinkers, bold doers, and collaborative problem-solvers. We partner with some of the world’s most ambitious brands to help them outsmart, outpace, and outgrow the competition.

How do we do it? By blending data science and creativity to make smarter decisions and create work that actually makes an impact. The numbers give us clarity, but it’s our creativity that wins hearts, builds brands, and drives real growth.

Life at Charlie Oscar is fast-paced, exciting, and full of opportunities to learn, grow, and push boundaries. You’ll be working alongside some of the sharpest minds in the industry, solving big challenges, delivering work you’re proud of, and seeing the difference you make for global brands.

And we know it’s not all about work. We make time for fun too - whether it’s weekly run club, book and chess clubs, charity fundraisers, Thursday drinks, or epic team socials, there’s always something to get involved in and people to connect with.

Most importantly, we hire for attitude and culture add, not just experience. We want curious, ambitious people who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, bring fresh ideas to the table, and help us shape the future of marketing.

Sound like your kind of place?

If you’re already playing with AI to do smarter work, even better. We don’t expect you to be a specialist – just inquisitive and excited to find tools to elevate what we do.
