‘Pulling together to give it our all for our customers, and then unwinding together afterwards. That’s the energy you’ll find in everyone at ZUID!’

People & Culture
In today’s digital era, launching an online campaign is no rare skill. But ensuring it measurably drives solid business growth for top-tier brands? That is a different story. It takes sharp data insight, the discipline to keep testing, and the courage to look beyond standard ad auctions.
ZUID is looking for just such a performance marketer. Someone who combines insight, testing discipline, and initiative to get the absolute most out of our clients’ campaigns. That means driving tangible business results. You will do this within an AI-driven workflow, leveraging our proprietary AI tool, NOTOS. You will strengthen our processes, tool, and results with your performance knowledge and a strong sense of ownership over your accounts.
In this role, you will work independently on driving the online performance of your accounts. You will be evaluated on KPIs agreed with the client and will proactively create optimisation and contingency plans whenever targets are at risk. You will liaise closely with our MarTech Director and Growth Director to keep success measurable at all times and ensure the growth strategy for every account hits the mark. Furthermore, you will report to Client Leads and Project Managers, and brief our Creative and Digital teams whenever new assets are required.
Are you excited to set up, monitor, and optimise online campaigns for a broad portfolio of great brands until they truly perform? Do you look beyond the obvious when exploring potential advertising channels? Then claim your desk in our ‘Loods’, and steer our clients towards more impressions, engagement, clicks, conversions, and beyond!
Check, check, double-check!
What do you bring to the table? We expect an availability of at least 32 hours per week at our office in Tilburg and an analytical, detail-oriented mindset where nothing slips through the cracks. Are you also a solution-oriented team player with a good sense of humour? Then you will fit right in. You also bring:
- Deep Google and Meta Ads expertise: Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Demand Gen) holds no secrets for you. You are equally comfortable with all types of Meta Ads (including Advantage+ sales campaigns, catalogue ads, and creative split-testing). You can work independently in LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads, TikTok, and YouTube.
- Strong tracking & data foundation: when you hear GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Conversions API, and Consent Mode, your reaction is ‘piece of cake’. You understand precisely what data reveals (and what it doesn’t). Experience with HubSpot is a major plus.
- Ownership & strong communication skills: you manage your accounts as if they were your own business. You proactively share a weekly overview of results, decision logs, and optimisations before the client or Client Lead even has to ask.
- Testing & innovation: you set up targeted A/B tests, review data with a critical eye, and love experimenting with AI to work smarter and faster without losing control or compromising quality.
- Commercial insight: you effortlessly translate complex campaign metrics into actionable opportunities and clear language for business owners and non-marketers alike.
We do not expect you to tick every single box above. Nobody is perfect 😉. If you meet a solid number of them, we could well be a match!
We expect you to grow (just like we do)
- At ZUID, we build roles around your skills, ambitions, and growth path. Here, you continuously sharpen your craft.
- You get the freedom to experiment, learn, and improve.
- You help build the future of performance marketing: from testing new touchpoints (such as AI marketplaces, connectors, or loyalty portals) to helping develop our proprietary tool, NOTOS.
- Looking to advance to a senior role? Absolutely. We give you all the room you need to mentor junior colleagues, establish standards and best practices, pitch to prospective clients, and help shape the future performance strategy of ZUID.
What can you expect from us?
We are an experienced, fun-to-work-with team where everyone is treated as an equal and personal growth comes first. We can offer that environment because our operational foundations—HR, career development, salary structures, and pensions—are thoroughly organised. We understand that security matters at different stages of life, which is why we offer a fast track to a permanent contract.
- A front-row seat at an ambitious, creative agency
- A competitive salary that reflects your skills, experience, and responsibilities
- 25 days of paid holiday (based on full-time employment)
- Holiday allowance (8% of gross annual salary)
- A solid pension plan via Doen Pensioen by ASR
- Travel allowance or business train travel via an NS-Business Card
- A company MacBook
- Option to work from home occasionally
- A personal development budget for courses, training, and conferences
- Unlimited fresh fruit (vitamin C) and a delicious lunch buffet twice a week
- Plenty of freedom to bring your own ideas and vision to life
- Friday afternoon drinks, team events, and our legendary ‘ZUIDje’ at the start of the year (we’ll tell you more about it)

About ZUID
ZUID is a full-service marketing agency and a growth partner for our clients. With a team of over 40 specialists, we work alongside organisations to build successful brands and design digital experiences. We apply new technologies directly to our work. With us, you’ll find the creative firepower of a large agency, combined with the speed, flexibility and personal approach of a small team. Take a look at our culture page to get a good sense of the atmosphere at ZUID.
A valuable addition
At ZUID, we’re not looking for just a new-hire, but a valuable addition. We believe in a culture where your courage, drive, teamwork, and energy are given the space to flourish. Together, we build results that exceed expectations.
Nights in Brabant are long
ZUIDerlingen are friendly, fun-loving, sociable, creative types. In ever-changing teams, we work closely together every day on projects for our clients.
We work hard, but we always look out for one another and take good care of each other in our creative hotspot by the water. We have lunch together every day on our terrace or in the coffee corner, with a lavish lunch buffet on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
It’s also a great place to have a drink and regularly throw a good party that continues until the early hours. Who knows, maybe you’ll be joining us soon. Rest assured that we’ll do whatever it takes to make you feel at home and help you find a good work-life balance.
Our vision on diversity
ZUID is committed to diversity and equal opportunities. That’s what we say, and that’s how we feel. With an almost 50-50 split between men and women in our team, salaries that are in no way adjusted for gender, ethnicity, age or religion, and with colleagues from South Africa, Portugal, Ukraine and Brazil, we’re taking steps in the right, diverse direction.
What’s more, we’re a flat organisation in both the literal and figurative sense: our office building no. 12 (where our team spends most of their time) is entirely on one level. You can also celebrate with us however you like. Certain national public holidays can be swapped for days off at times that suit you best. Prefer Eid al-Fitr to Ascension Day? No problem.
Accessibility and diversity are our goals. Admittedly, we’re not quite a shining example of that yet. But we promise to do everything we can to make people who don’t immediately recognise themselves in our current team feel completely welcome here. Come and strengthen and enrich our team with your unique qualities. One love, one ZUID.
