About the role:
We're looking for our second Performance Marketing Manager to expand and scale our existing paid marketing program. You'll be leading our marketing efforts for our iOS and Android apps, and feel comfortable running campaigns across different channels - in different languages. You're able to take a quickly growing program and keep it organized and on track as we scale budgets, launch new features, and run experiments. You pride yourself on being detail-oriented and having a high bar for quality, but feel comfortable moving quickly to iterate and learn more in a given month.
On a day-to-day basis, you'll be spending time in-platform monitoring performance across channels, finding new opportunities to drive further growth, running experiments, and shipping new creative. You're eager to dive in, and feel excited about managing the ins-and-outs of paid marketing within a quickly-growing start-up.
Preferred qualifications:
- 3 - 5+ years of experience working in a performance marketing role, with a specialization in running paid social campaigns for iOS and Android apps.
- A desire to move quickly and experiment, with a good nose for impact. You like testing things, but also have a good sense of which tests are impactful (and which aren't).
- A comfort with and desire to pull your own metrics; you have experience building out spreadsheets or other systems that help you monitor performance and pacing, and can slice and dice data as needed (whether that's pulled from in-platform data, an MMP like AppsFlyer, or a product analytics tool like Mixpanel).
- An ability to make thoughtful budget decisions, balancing spend across channels and campaigns, and thinking through incrementality and attribution.
- Experience working cross-functionally, closely collaborating with functions ranging from Creator Relations and Brand Design to Engineering and Analytics.
- A technical understanding of how to set up conversion tracking across various channels and platforms (specifically on iOS and Android); you feel comfortable executing parts independently, and guiding Engineering teams where you need help.
- A high level of organization; you're adept at juggling multiple tasks and priorities, and have a system to ensure things don't slip through the cracks.
- A comfort operating as a one-person show where needed, which includes writing strong, succinct copy.
Benefits:- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans
- Anything you need to do your best work
- We've done team off-sites to places like Paris, London, Park City, Los Angeles, Upstate NY, and Nashville with more planned in the future.
