What You'll Do

Own Global Acquisition Strategy & Execution

  • Lead full-funnel user acquisition across major paid channels (Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, ASA, DSPs), owning monthly/quarterly ROAS and volume targets for assigned game titles.
  • Develop market-specific growth strategies based on product lifecycle stage, competitive landscape, and regional player behavior; rapidly iterate based on performance data.
  • Architect A/B testing frameworks for campaign structure, bidding strategies, and audience segmentation to unlock incremental efficiency gains.

Creative Strategy & Asset Development

  • Write compelling English ad copy and messaging frameworks that resonate with target player personas, maintaining brand voice while optimizing for click-through and conversion rates.
  • Analyze creative performance data to identify winning concepts and kill underperforming assets swiftly; build feedback loops to inform iterative creative production.

Real-Time Data Monitoring & Optimization

  • Maintain rigorous daily/weekly performance tracking across all active campaigns; rapidly identify anomalies, attribution gaps, or efficiency plateaus and deploy corrective actions.
  • Leverage analytics tools (Tableau, Looker, AppsFlyer, Adjust) to extract actionable insights from complex datasets; translate metrics into strategic recommendations for budget reallocation.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with Product and Data Science teams to refine targeting parameters, optimize app store conversion (CRO), and align acquisition tactics with product monetization mechanics.
