About Wikimotive

Wikimotive is a boutique digital marketing agency serving a growing network of ~150 auto dealerships across North America. We pride ourselves on delivering best-in-class services, fostering strong client relationships, and driving results. If you're a motivated, proactive automotive industry professional seeking a rewarding career with a work-life balance in digital marketing, we want to hear from you!

The Role: Performance Manager

At Wikimotive a Performance Manager is the tip of the spear. Backed by a class-leading product and an amazing team, a PM is the face of Wikimotive to our dealership clientele. As a skilled expert in both the automotive industry and the digital marketing space, he or she will develop lasting relationships with clients and assess their performance on a monthly basis to ensure goals are met. This is done with a number of tools, like Google Analytics, Search Console, and SEMrush, as well as through their relationship-building skills.

The ultimate job of a Performance Manager is to use language, visuals, and other creative storytelling to distill complex performance data into reporting that a layperson will understand and value. While sales skills will help you here, this role is about quality and authenticity, not selling.

Wikimotive's Performance Management team is an environment where expectations are high, but you are also encouraged to be you. Each PM communicates differently and brings his or her own flavor and perspective to the role. This individualism is valued, not suppressed, and dynamic thinking is a must.

Please note that while the title includes 'Manager,' the Performance Manager role at Wikimotive is part of a collaborative team. After completing a training program, you will take on responsibility for managing your own external client accounts. Wikimotive values employees who consistently deliver high-quality work and offers opportunities for growth and advancement as you progress in your career.
