Responsibilities

• Own daily and weekly paid-channel operations across Meta, Google/YouTube, TikTok, Snap, and new platform tests.
• Translate growth strategy and budget allocations into executable media plans by channel, market tier, objective, audience, and campaign type.
• Build, traffic, and maintain campaigns, including targeting, bidding, budgets, naming conventions, UTMs, placements, creative mapping, and launch QA.
• Monitor and optimize performance across CPI, CPM, CTR, CVR, install volume, reach, frequency, geo performance, and creative fatigue.
• Deliver first-pass channel diagnostics: what changed, why we believe it changed, and what action should follow.
• Keep budgets pacing cleanly and surface risks, opportunities, and material variances early.
• Design disciplined tests across creative, audience, geography, placement, bidding strategy, and campaign objective.
• Partner with creative and growth leads to traffic new assets quickly and translate performance signals into useful creative feedback.
• Manage relationships with platform partners, troubleshoot account and delivery issues, and stay current on meaningful platform changes.
• Maintain clear campaign documentation and operating standards so our work is consistent, auditable, and easier to learn from.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on paid acquisition, performance marketing, or media-buying experience, ideally for a consumer app, paid media agency, or digital marketplace.

• Meaningful experience operating campaigns on TikTok; Snap experience is strongly preferred.
• Experience managing substantial, multi-channel budgets with strong pacing and forecasting discipline.
• Fluency in mobile acquisition measurement and attribution, including MMPs such as AppsFlyer, campaign taxonomy, UTMs, deep links, and event tracking.
• Strong analytical command of CPI, CPM, CTR, CVR, frequency, install volume, cohort quality, and downstream engagement.
• The ability to distinguish between an auction problem, a creative problem, a targeting problem, a tracking problem, and normal performance variance.
• Experience creating test structures that produce interpretable results—not simply launching more variations.
• Excellent attention to detail without losing sight of the business question behind the work.
• Clear, concise communication and the confidence to surface misses, risks, and uncertainty early.

Preferred
