This isn't a role where you'll inherit a mature marketing machine. You'll build one. You'll launch campaigns from scratch, analyze what works, iterate, and develop a repeatable acquisition engine for technical products. Success in this role is measured by having the right people find our products, download them, and keep them coming back.

What success looks like You'll own metrics like these: - Increasing downloads. - Improving impression-to-download conversion. - Improving activation and downstream funnel conversion. - Reducing cost per click and cost per acquisition. - Building a repeatable experimentation process that gets smarter over time. ## About you - You've run paid acquisition before and have built campaigns yourself. - You’ve managed meaningful paid media budgets with clear performance ownership. - You’ve designed rigorous A/B testing programs. - You have experience with creators, influencers, or technical communities. - You have strong analytical skills and comfort working directly with marketing data. - You know how to create audiences, manage budgets, write copy, test creatives, analyze performance, and decide where to invest resources. - You are experienced in marketing technical products, working with a technical team. - You are creative and strategic, but are also grounded in data and great at execution.
