About Thrive
Thrive is a leading full-funnel digital marketing agency supporting growth for some of North America’s most ambitious companies. We evolve our services through disciplined learning, continuous improvement, and close partnership with our clients - regularly assessing what works, what doesn’t, and where to raise the bar.
Our mission is to help companies grow sustainably. To do that, we’ve built deep expertise across performance marketing, brand marketing, digital design, and data and measurement, managing more than $5 billion USD in advertising spend over the past decade. Our work spans startups, scale-ups, and enterprise organizations, including Alo, Zoom, Slack, Uber, Asana, Masterclass, Snapchat, Change.org, and lululemon.
Our culture values curiosity, accountability, and thoughtful problem-solving. We challenge our teams to grow and take ownership of their work while respecting boundaries and long-term sustainability. Thrive is a place where experimentation is encouraged, learning is continuous, and people are supported to do high-quality work they’re proud of — together.
The Opportunity
This is a build-and-grow moment. We're expanding our performance practice around lead generation, and the work comes with a portfolio most marketers only get to admire from the outside — think category-defining B2B software and technology brands, the kind of companies whose products you already use and whose growth story is still being written. You won't just be running campaigns for them; you'll be the strategic partner helping them figure out how demand generation compounds into pipeline, market share, and durable growth. That means owning the questions that actually move a business: how do we reach the right buyers earlier, turn intent into qualified pipeline, and build a lead engine that scales as they do? The tactical craft matters — funnel design, lead quality, CPL and lead-to-opportunity performance — but here it's in service of something bigger: shaping how some of the most ambitious brands in tech grow. If your best work has been measured in ROAS, purchases, or app installs, this likely isn't your fit. But if you think about demand gen as a growth strategy, not just a channel, let's chat.
The Role
Joining the Performance department (performance marketing) as our Performance Manager, you'll be responsible for driving project excellence in Performance Programs by implementing growth strategies, solving complex problems, and fostering team development to ensure that Thrive remains an industry leader in performance marketing. You'll oversee the success of some of our highest priority brands and partnerships, ranging from household names through to brands that are in early growth stages. You'll also be a key contributor to product innovation and project growth initiatives, working amongst a collaborative team to continuously improve our product and service.

You provide constructive feedback to team members and work in partnership with the senior operational team to address any resourcing, performance or economic shifts.
People: Enhance the Performance department’s expertise by mentoring and managing team members, and contributing to their development through upskilling, training content, workshops, and other company resources. Example: You either manage team members directly or work closely with them in a mentor and advocate capacity. Operating at a senior-manager level, you develop other leaders & address any role performance challenges proactively and appropriately. You set team members up for success to continuously elevate their roles on projects, are expert at giving feedback and approach difficult conversations with confidence and care.
Company: Make significant contributions to people and projects within the Performance department by solving complex problems, coordinating support, and aligning with stakeholders.
