Performance Marketing Specialist

About Swoon

Swoon was founded in 2012 to create distinctive designs that owners will want to keep forever and a lofty goal to spark home obsession everywhere.

We’re a digital-first brand powered by data, creativity and a deep understanding of how people discover and fall in love with great design online.

As a high-growth e-commerce business, performance marketing plays a critical role in how we scale. We design, test and refine products rapidly and our digital channels are the engine that introduces these designs to customers.
