Senior Performance Marketeer

We Elevate. Digitally.

SQLI is a European player and market leader in customer experience and digital transformation, helping major international brands create value through technology and digital innovation. From strategy to the effective implementation of technological solutions, we design and build robust, high-performance architectures and engaging digital experiences, combining advanced technologies, proven methodologies, and deep expertise.

To strengthen our teams (2,200 employees across 12 countries), we are looking for driven talent who share our values: Creativity, Engagement, and a Future-minded approach.

SQLI Ghent creative agency; that’s us: 50+ digital specialists working every day on projects that truly matter. For brands like Colruyt Group, Brustor, Pierre Fabre, and Jules Destrooper, we build digital strategies, campaigns, and platforms that make a real impact. As part of an international group, we have the scale and expertise of a large agency, while operating with the commitment and agility of a local team.

Performance marketing is not about running campaigns. 
It’s about driving measurable business impact and owning the result. 

At SQLI, we help ambitious brands grow by connecting strategy, marketing, and design. Within our Digital Marketing & Performance practice, we support clients across the full funnel from building awareness to driving conversion and long-term growth. 

We’re looking for a Senior Performance Marketeer who sets the standard for how performance marketing contributes to real business outcomes. 

This position is only open to candidates who will be employed directly by us. We are not working with contractors or agencies for this role.

What you’ll do 

• You own performance across the funnel. From first impression to final conversion. 

• Define and execute performance marketing strategies across awareness, consideration, and conversion 

• Take ownership of key performance metrics such as ROAS, CAC, conversion rate, engagement, and overall business impact 

• Translate business objectives into clear, actionable performance roadmaps 

• Drive testing, experimentation, and continuous optimization across channels (paid social, search, display, video, marketplaces) 

• Optimize media investments with a strong focus on both short-term results and long-term brand growth 

• Work closely with CRO, CRM, content, and strategy teams to maximize impact across touchpoints 

• Act as a senior sparring partner for clients - connecting media performance to broader business goals 

• Support pre-sales and pitches with strong, data-driven cases 

• Leverage automation and AI to scale performance efficiently and intelligently 

You don’t just drive traffic - you drive impact. 

What you bring 

• Strong hands-on experience in performance marketing across multiple channels (Google, social, display, video, etc.) 

• Dutch should come naturally, English is a must and French is a plus 

• Proven ability to drive measurable impact across the funnel - from awareness to conversion 

• Deep expertise in platforms like Google Ads, Meta, and analytics tools 

• Strong understanding of media strategy, audience targeting, and customer journeys 

• Ability to connect campaign performance to broader business outcomes and brand objectives 

• Experience in both ecommerce and lead generation or brand campaigns is a plus 

• Experience mentoring or guiding peers is a plus (without being in a formal leadership role) 

• A pragmatic, results-first mindset 

What makes this role different 

• You shape how performance marketing drives impact across the full funnel 

• You combine hands-on expertise with strategic thinking and ownership 

• You work across a diverse set of clients, industries, and objectives 

• You have a direct impact on business results, not just media performance 

• You’ll help shape a growing international practice 

You’ll join a welcoming, driven team where collaboration and team spirit matter.

We make time to (de)connect, regular drinks and events are part of the culture.

Our Sint-Martens-Latem office was recently redesigned, with more outdoor space, informal meeting spots, and comfortable areas to recharge.

We support flexible working, while encouraging time together with the team because the best ideas don’t happen in isolation. 

You’ll work with leading brands across industries (Nestlé, Colruyt, Pierre Fabre, Jaguar Land Rover, …), making your work varied and impactful.

You’ll play a key role in the company and be recognized for it.

Your package includes an Apple laptop, company car, phone subscription, and everything you need to do your job well.

We invest in continuous growth through R&D time, training, events, seminars, mentoring, and regular knowledge sharing.

You’ll shape your own path, supported by regular feedback and development conversations.

As part of SQLI Group, you’ll connect with colleagues across the globe and learn from an international network.

• Ownership of high-impact, cross-disciplinary projects
• Exposure to international clients and teams
• The opportunity to shape how delivery works at SQLI
• A culture that values honesty, ownership, and collaboration

We keep things simpleand focused on what works.
