About the Role

Talon is seeking a sharp, analytical, and client-savvy Performance Marketing Manager to lead paid media efforts and act as a strategic advisor to our multifamily real estate clients.

If youre looking to do more than just buy ads if you want to help build something this is that opportunity.

What You'll Do

• Own all aspects of paid media strategy and execution across Google Ads and Meta Ads, with opportunities to test emerging channels (e.g., TikTok, Pinterest, Nextdoor).
• Lead client communications across a portfolio of multifamily housing clients from onboarding through reporting to advising on full-funnel strategy.
• Translate complex digital marketing performance data into clear, actionable insights for clients with varying levels of marketing fluency.
• Act as a thought partner to clients and internal stakeholders, weighing in on budget allocations, campaign priorities, and site-level needs (e.g., "we need more leads in Phoenix this week").
• Collaborate with our analytics and product teams to ensure reporting tools surface the right data, in the right way and suggest improvements.
• Help formalize and improve Talons client service playbooks, SOPs, and processes as we scale.
• Support broader digital strategy efforts (e.g., website audits, SEO assessments, drip campaign recommendations) as part of our fractional CMO model.

Who You Are

• 38 years of experience in digital marketing, ideally in an agency setting.
• A self-starter able to execute baseline aspects with ease, while also concepting and delivering innovative strategies.
• Proven track record running paid campaigns in Google Ads or Meta Ads
• Strong professional communication skills, someone who can confidently own client relationships and lead conversations with stakeholders of all levels from property managers to asset managers to equity partners.
• Deeply analytical you care about what the data says, what actions it demands, and how to turn that into client results.
• Process-oriented, organized, and hungry to help build repeatable systems and scalable client value.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and in a growing, fast-paced team where youll wear multiple hats.
• Based in Austin, TX, and available to work in-person at least 3 days per week.

Bonus Points For

• Experience with additional paid platforms (TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Nextdoor, etc.)
• Exposure to tools or platforms like Power BI, Google Analytics 4, BigQuery, Hubspot, Google Tag Manager, ChatGPT
• A desire to grow into a leadership or team-building role over time

Why work for Talon?

• Innovate in a fast-paced startup environment
• Shape strategy and drive results as part of a collaborative, close-knit team
• Competitive bonus opportunities
• Generous paid time off
• 401k retirement plan with robust employer match
