About The Role:

In this position you will own execution across Google Ads (Search + UAC), Apple Search Ads, and Performance Max, managing a portfolio of high-priority markets with real global scale. You will be responsible for channel structure, targeting, bidding, and pacing—driving growth while balancing CAC efficiency and LTV payback. You will design and run structured test plans covering keyword expansion, bidding strategies, ad copy, creative assets, and landing page variants, while reporting on performance trends and translating insights into strategic recommendations. You will prepare quarterly plans and forecasts rooted in data and testing, collaborate with product and CRO teams to optimize conversion paths, and partner with regional marketing to align campaigns with local strategy and customer insights. The role also includes working closely with Google and Apple reps to unlock beta opportunities, troubleshooting issues, and staying ahead of platform innovations. Success will be measured by an ability to bring efficiency metrics to the forefront—owning CAC, CPAs, ROAS, and marginal return analysis—while keeping sharp on search trends, creative requirements, and campaign advancements.
