Senior Associate, Performance Marketing

What You’ll Be Doing

We’re hiring a Performance Marketing Manager to support on paid social and emerging channels. You’ll own strategy, execution, and optimisation across platforms, working closely with our in-house creative team to unlock rapid, scalable growth. The ideal candidate will bring deep mobile app experience, ideally from a subscription-based business, with a strong track record of driving results through paid social.

With significant budgets, dedicated creative support, and a fast-moving team, you’ll be expected to move quickly, test aggressively, and stabilise performance against strict CAC targets. As we grow, you’ll also have the opportunity to expand into emerging paid channels such as Reddit and Spotify.

• Ownership of performance platforms (e.g., Meta, TikTok, emerging channels) to plan and execute campaigns across the funnel (prospecting, retargeting).
• Collaborate with our creative team to ideate, brief, and analyse ad creatives.
• Build and manage a performance testing roadmap (hooks, formats, targeting, landing pages).
• Monitor and optimise towards CAC/LTV goals on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis.
• Troubleshoot signal issues and attribution gaps (Pixels, AppsFlyer, S2S, SKAN).
• Enhance measurement frameworks and support incrementality testing.
• Suggest opportunities for new automation strategies.
• Report on performance and share learnings across Growth and Product teams.

What You’ll Bring To The Team

- 3-5 years of hands-on experience managing paid social channels for a mobile subscription app or performance-driven business.

- Experience managing seven-figure monthly budgets at target CACs.

- Experience with value optimisation with a target ROAS.

- Strong understanding of incrementality measurement (conversion lift).

- Expert in the Meta and TikTok ads ecosystems (AEO, AEM, Advantage+, CBO, ADC, Smart+).

- Familiar with Meta iOS, Android, Web and Web2App campaigns.

- Proficiency with AppsFlyer (or another MMP).

- Analytical mindset with a strong focus on CAC, ROAS, LTV, and subscriber growth.

- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment.

Bonus points if you:

- Love seeing their optimisations pay off and watching their campaigns grow in efficiency & scale.

- Love experimenting with ad copy, landing pages, bid strategies and creative assets.

- Use data to uncover insights, optimise campaigns, and refine strategies.

- Have worked with predictive LTV to understand the true value of your campaigns.

- Have experience collaborating with cross-functional teams: creative, product or engineering.

- Have some familiarity with Smartly or other automation tools.
