We're hiring.

Senior Performance Marketing Manager Acceler8 AI · Metro Manila, Philippines (Hybrid) · Full-time · Reports to Head of Performance Marketing

About Us

Acceler8 AI is an AI-Driven Media ROI™ company. We accelerate growth for the AI era where there is harmonization of human + AI in growth operations, delivering AI-powered performance, bespoke AI solutions architecture and engineering. The operating layer that drives ROI.

Culture to commerce. Insight to revenue. Engineering to outcome.

Headquartered in Singapore with operations across Manila, Hong Kong, and Dubai, we serve enterprise brands, indie agencies, and in-house marketing teams across APAC and MENA.

We are at an early-growth stage company. The work is real, the standards are high, and the opportunity is meaningful for those who want to build at this stage. Ownership of outcomes is the default.

The Role

You will own a portfolio of enterprise growth accounts running on X8 FLEX, our productized growth engine on demand. The work spans paid, owned, and earned media for a diverse set of B2C and B2B clients across telco, banking and finance, hospitality, automotive, retail, and e-commerce. Performance media, affiliate, email and lifecycle, organic, and on-site optimization sit under one roof, measured against a unified set of KPIs. On select accounts you will also support our Bespoke AI Engineering track, contributing to MarTech stack strategy, attribution and measurement design, or CDP and data architecture. You will mentor a growing team of AI-native Performance Marketing Managers and Digital Performance Strategists.

This is a senior seat. Performance for our clients is what earns the next account, the next conversation, and the next chapter for us as a company. We hire people who hold themselves to that standard, who are AI-native operators with genuine curiosity about where technology and craft meet, who share our belief in the harmonization of human + AI, and who care about the craft and our client's business growth as much as the outcome.
