Paid Search Performance Marketing Manager

About Wispr Wispr Flow is making it as effortless to interact with your devices as talking to a close friend. Today, Wispr Flow is the first voice dictation platform people use more than their keyboards — because it understands you perfectly on the first try. It’s context-aware, personalized, and works anywhere you can type, on desktop or phone. In 2026, in addition to dictation, we're focused on building native actions — an agentic framework that understands you, and works reliably. We’re a team of AI researchers, designers, growth experts, and engineers rethinking human-computer interaction from the ground up. We value high-agency teammates who communicate openly, obsess over users, and sweat the details. We thrive on spirited debate, truth-seeking, and real-world impact. We're grown our revenue +150% every quarter for the last 4 quarters, and have raised $81M from Tier 1 VC firms and other well-known angels. The Role We're hiring a hands-on paid search specialist to own Google Search, Bing Ads, and Apple Search Ads across desktop and mobile. You'll also own Android acquisition from day one. Your channels:

• Google Search Ads (Search, Performance Max, Search Partners)
• Google App Campaigns (ACi) for Android app installs and in-app revenue
• Apple Search Ads for iOS and Android
• Bing / Microsoft Ads (and expansion opportunities)

Your mission: Bring in high-intent users and wire them into our funnel: ad → click → install → activation → subscription → revenue. This isn't a "set and forget" role. You're in the platforms daily, shipping tests weekly, making data-driven decisions, and owning the numbers.

Run Fast, Learn Faster

• Ship weekly tests: keywords, match types, bidding strategies, ad copy, creative variants

• Partner with Design and Growth teams on landing pages and App Store optimization

Manage Budgets Like a CFO

• Manage $50k+/month in search spend (scaling to low six figures)

Communicate Like a Leader

• Collaborate seamlessly with Growth, Product, Design, and Data teams
