Paid Search Performance Marketing Manager

Wispr is an AI research and product company building the voice interface for computing. AI can now reason, code, and act. Yet, humans still do the work of the interface. We think that’s backwards.
Our first products are Flow, which lets you speak naturally in any application, and Notetaker, which builds context across conversations. We’re building toward an interface that can perceive, understand, and take action with earned trust. That means solving hard problems across models, systems, and product - and caring about the final human experience as deeply as the technology underneath it.

We’re a talent-dense team that holds strong opinions, tests them quickly, and builds technology that sparks joy. Our goal is to build the first voice interface used every day by a billion people.

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 mission is to 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.
