Your Role

We’re looking for a Growth Marketing & Acquisition Manager to own how Pregnancy+ grows its user base worldwide. You’ll take full ownership of our acquisition strategy across every channel, paid and unpaid, and the measurement that proves what is actually working. You’ll move us away from a narrow, single-channel approach and build a genuine acquisition portfolio: paid social and search, app store optimisation, organic and emerging channels, and the creative engine that powers all of them. Your starting point is always strategic: working out how we grow, where the next wave of acquisition growth will come from, which new channels to open, where the efficiency gains are hiding, and how the mix should evolve over time. From there, you decide how to execute against that plan, calling on a network of freelancers, agencies, and specialist partners, alongside internal support from product, design, content, and analytics, to deliver at scale. You’ll be the single point of accountability for our cost of acquisition and the growth of our active user base. That said, this is not a hands-off role. You should be an operator who is comfortable getting your hands dirty: turning a campaign around fast, shipping a landing page test, fixing a tracking issue, or getting something live yourself when speed matters more than process. The best person for this pairs the strategic view with the instinct and ability to execute.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full acquisition portfolio
• Set and own the acquisition strategy across all channels: paid social (Meta, TikTok), paid search (Google UAC / App Campaigns), Apple Search Ads, app store optimisation (ASO), SEO, and emerging channels such as generative engine optimisation (GEO) and creator-led growth for AI-driven discovery.
• Own cost of acquisition and active user growth
• Use these metrics as your headline metrics, and make evidence-based decisions about where the next pound of spend or hour of effort should go.
• Constantly rebalance the channel mix
• Test new or under-exploited channels, double down on what works and retire what doesn’t.
• Drive creative velocity and testing
• Treat creative as the primary lever for improving acquisition efficiency. Build a high-output creative engine with UGC specialists, creators, freelancers, and agency partners, increasing the volume and variety of concepts tested by an order of magnitude.
• Write sharp creative briefs grounded in audience insight, run structured testing frameworks, and feed winning signals back into platforms and the wider funnel.
• Direct agencies, freelancers, and specialists
• Source, onboard, brief, and manage a lean network of specialist partners (mobile UA agencies, creative producers, channel specialists), bringing in new specialists as the strategy demands.
• Hold partners accountable to clear outcomes and benchmarks while staying close enough to challenge their work and step in when needed.
• Build measurement and incrementality infrastructure
• Move beyond optimizing on installs toward measuring real downstream value and incremental impact. Own the measurement stack (attribution, event tracking, value-based signals) and run regular incrementality testing.
• Automate reporting and account checks, and simplify campaign structures to free up effort for creative and strategy.
• Orchestrate cross-functional growth
• Partner with content, commercial, and partnership teams to unlock acquisition through healthcare, retail, and creator relationships that paid media alone can’t reach.
• Work with lifecycle and CRM to ensure acquisition connects cleanly into onboarding, activation, and retention.
• Collaborate with product and engineering to improve store conversion, onboarding, and in-product moments that compound acquisition into long-term value.

What We’re Looking For

• At least 5 years in user acquisition for consumer mobile apps, with meaningful time spent owning strategy across multiple channels and markets.
• A track record of improving cost of acquisition through creative testing, not just spend management.
• Strong command of mobile measurement (attribution, MMPs, event and value tracking, and incrementality testing), with an analytical instinct to interpret data, stay sceptical of vanity metrics, and turn findings into clear, prioritised action.
• Experience selecting, onboarding, and directing agencies, freelancers, and specialists to deliver outcomes.
• Scrappy, bias-to-action operator who would rather ship and learn than perfect and wait, and who can roll up their sleeves and execute when speed demands it.
• Genuine curiosity about emerging channels (GEO, creator and partnership-led growth) alongside a strong working knowledge of established ones (SEO, ASO) and a habit of testing new opportunities early.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the credibility to influence product, engineering, analytics, and commercial stakeholders.
• The ability to translate brand strategy into channel execution—understanding that creative, tone, and messaging consistency across Meta, TikTok, and search directly impact performance outcomes.
• Hands-on experience with key paid channels including Meta Ads, Google UAC, Apple Search Ads, and TikTok, alongside familiarity with mobile attribution platforms such as Branch or similar MMPs.
