Role overview

We’re hiring a Performance Analyst to be the source of truth for performance across our client portfolio.

This is a hands-on, analytical role at the heart of Aperture’s performance function. You’ll own reporting, analysis, and insight generation across paid media accounts, ensuring the team is optimising for what actually matters — not just what looks good in-platform.

Your role is not just to pull numbers, but to interpret them. You’ll flag risks early, identify misleading signals, and translate performance into clear direction for growth leads and creative teams.

This role sits at the intersection of:

• paid media performance
• client outcomes and commercial reality
• creative iteration and experimentation

It’s analytical, but also highly communicative.

Key responsibilities

Performance reporting and analysis

• Own performance reporting across paid media accounts (Meta, Google, TikTok and others as needed).
• Build clear, consistent reporting views and narratives for each client.
• Ensure reporting reflects true business performance, not surface-level platform metrics.
• Maintain accuracy, consistency, and clarity across all reporting outputs.

Insight generation and decision support

• Identify what is genuinely working versus what looks good on the surface.
• Handle client-specific caveats such as:
• geo mix
• pricing and monetisation differences
• funnel depth and lag
• attribution limitations
• Flag risks, anomalies, and misleading signals early.
• Surface insights that directly inform creative briefs, testing direction, and prioritisation.

Experimentation and measurement

• Support experimentation by tracking tests accurately over time.
• Maintain and improve naming conventions, metrics, formulas, and reporting logic.
• Ensure learnings are documented, retained, and shared across the team.

Collaboration and communication

• Work closely with Growth Leads to prepare client readouts and discussions.
• Act as a bridge between performance and creative teams.
• Translate data into clear, actionable insight for non-technical stakeholders.
• Push back when metrics, conclusions, or interpretations are misleading.

Requirements

Experience

• 2+ years in performance marketing, analytics, or a closely related role.
• Experience working with paid media data across platforms such as Meta, Google, and TikTok.
• Experience with subscription or funnel-based businesses is a strong plus.

Skills and mindset

• Very strong comfort with numbers, spreadsheets, and formulas.
• High attention to detail - you notice inconsistencies others miss.
• Strong analytical judgement - you understand when a metric is lying.
• Ability to explain complex performance issues simply and clearly.
• Confidence pushing back and asking uncomfortable questions when needed.
• Strong written and spoken English (this is a client-facing role).
• Calm, organised, and reliable under pressure.

This is not a junior reporting role.
You’re expected to think, apply judgement, and add clarity — not just execute.

Why this role matters

As Aperture grows, performance complexity grows with it.

This role is critical to:

• protecting decision quality
• preventing bad optimisation driven by shallow metrics
• enabling faster, smarter creative and growth iteration

You’ll play a key role in helping the agency scale without losing rigour or clarity.

Before you apply

We read every single application.

We care far more about how you think than a perfectly polished CV. Specific examples, clear reasoning, and honest reflection go a long way.

We can tell when answers are generic or over-polished. We’re looking for people who understand the nuance of performance and care deeply about getting it right.
