About The Role

What You'll Do

• Lead and optimize acquisition efforts across key performance marketing channels — from strategic planning and daily operations to testing, analysis, and reporting.
• Manage and grow performance across various channels (channel to be confirmed based on the individuals skill set but may include UAC, Programmatic Networks, and Paid Search) through hands-on campaign management, experimentation, and continuous optimization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Data, Creative, and Engineering, to scale acquisition efforts, improve ROI, and ensure seamless campaign execution.
• Set up and manage tracking infrastructure with MMPs (e.g., Adjust), working closely with developers to ensure accurate attribution and measurement.
• Analyze performance data to uncover growth opportunities, translate insights into actionable strategies, and guide budget allocation.
• Track and benchmark key KPIs such as CPM, CPC, CPI, Cost per Sign-up, ROAS, and LTV across platforms and geographies.

What We're Looking For

• Senior experience in performance marketing, with hands-on expertise in at least two major channels (e.g., Meta, Native Channels, UAC, Programmatic Networks, Paid Search).
• Proven experience optimizing for key metrics across the funnel, including in-app actions, subscription funnels, and both upper and lower funnel performance.
• Strong analytical mindset – comfortable working with large datasets and interpreting user behavior through data. A curiosity and data-driven mindset are essential.
• Knowledge of MMPs and a strong interest in attribution modeling.
• Experience with subscription-based B2C apps
