Why Calocurb? We’re disrupting the status quo in the wellness industry with our unique, patented, product: Calocurb is the world’s first natural, clinically proven GLP-1 activator that helps reduce appetite. It’s science and nature combined, designed for an age of overconsumption: this capsule, supported by 15 years of clinical research and $30m in development is an extract from New Zealand hops (Amarasate).
We have successfully transformed lives globally and improved wellness for thousands. We doubled revenue in 2024 and are on track to do it again in 2025. To fuel the next stage of growth, we’re building a powerhouse team across performance marketing, customer experience, and lifecycle and retention. Our digital growth engine needs proven experts at the wheel, as we accelerate into new markets, new channels, and new levels of growth.
The role As Performance Marketing Manager, you’ll be the owner of acquisition and have a broader marketing role running projects in this dynamic team.

- You’ll also love diversity and solving other marketing challenges within a team environment
This is not a “set and forget” role! You’ll be comfortable getting in the weeds with agency partners, pushing for sharper performance every week. You’ll know when to cut spend, when to double down, and how to connect paid traffic into seamless journeys with our CX and Lifecycle teams.
