What a Performance Marketer does
They run your paid acquisition across channels and treat every dollar like it has to earn its way back. Day to day that means:
Managing campaigns across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, or wherever your buyers are
Setting up tracking, attribution, and conversion measurement properly so you actually know what's working
Running creative tests at the pace each channel demands and feeding learnings back into the next round
Watching CAC, LTV, ROAS, and contribution margin closely and adjusting before performance erodes
Working with the creative team or briefing creators when new assets are needed
A strong performance marketing specialist runs the whole funnel in their head: spend, click, conversion, revenue, margin. They can tell you what's worth scaling, what's worth killing, and what's worth testing next. Most companies hire one when their paid spend has crossed the threshold where a half-decent specialist pays for themselves several times over each month.

What to look for in a Performance Marketer
The tell is how they talk about a campaign they killed. A strong one tells you what they spent before pulling the plug, what they learned, and how that informed the next test. When you interview, look for:
Specific account work with budget, CAC, ROAS, or contribution margin attached
Comfort across multiple channels. Single-channel experts are useful but limited
Honesty about attribution. Anyone telling you Meta's reported ROAS is the truth is behind on iOS 14 reality
Avoid anyone whose answers stay at the 'we ran ads' level without specifics.
Tools a strong one should know:
