Performance Marketing Manager

Mirage is an AI video company focused on making creation dramatically easier. Our team tackles some of the hardest creative and technical challenges in generative media.

We get to rethink how people collaborate with AI that can actually do creative work with them—defining entirely new interaction paradigms for AI-native video tools. We make that possible by building multimodal agents that turn creative direction into edits, rendering engines that composite multiple layers of video and graphics, and generative video models trained from the ground up that create new media when needed.

All of this comes together in Captions, our creative workspace for generating, editing, and designing video. The technology behind Captions is now available more broadly: Tesseract gives any AI agent native video-editing capabilities, while developers can integrate our models into their own products through APIs.

• Execute campaign builds, bid adjustments, and ongoing optimizations to improve performance against KPIs such as CAC, LTV, and ROAS
• Monitor campaign performance, surface insights, and proactively flag opportunities or issues.
• Drive experimentation by executing and analyzing A/B tests across ad creative and campaign setups
• Prepare regular performance reports and contribute insights that inform optimization decisions and future investment

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum of 4+ years of experience working in performance or growth marketing, with experience across paid social channels like Meta and TikTok
• Strong experimentation mindset, with good judgement around which tests are likely to drive meaningful impact.
• Solid understanding of conversion tracking across mobile and web platforms.
• Comfort working directly with performance data from ad platforms and analytics tools to evaluate results and guide optimization.
