The Role:

We are seeking a highly analytical and experimental Director of User Acquisition to own and scale our paid growth engine. This role will lead end-to-end acquisition strategy across channels, with a strong emphasis on creative-driven performance marketing, rapid experimentation, and data-driven optimization.

What You’ll Do:

• Own and scale paid acquisition across channels (Meta, Google, emerging platforms), with clear accountability for CAC, ROAS, and revenue growth

• Lead creative strategy as a core growth lever—drive high-volume testing, iteration, and optimization of ad creatives

• Build and manage an in-house UA function, reducing reliance on agencies and increasing velocity of learning and execution

• Develop and refine attribution models, incrementality testing, and performance measurement frameworks

• Identify and unlock new acquisition channels (e.g., affiliate, TikTok, Snapchat)

• Continuously test and optimize targeting, bidding, and campaign structures

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Partner closely with Product/Operations/Engineering teams to optimize landing pages and conversion funnels by channel

• Ensure tight alignment between ad creative, messaging, and on-site experience to maximize conversion rates

• Collaborate on experimentation roadmaps across acquisition and funnel optimization

What You’ll Need:

• Proven track record running and scaling paid acquisition (ideally hands-on experience across multiple apps or products)

• Deep expertise in Meta (Facebook/Instagram) advertising; familiarity with other channels (Google, affiliate, etc.)

• Strong analytical mindset—comfortable building attribution models and interpreting complex datasets

• Demonstrated ability to lead creative-driven growth strategies (not just media buying)

• “Growth hacker” mentality: highly experimental, innovative, and constantly testing new approaches

• Experience managing high spend and scaling efficiently

What Success Looks Like:

• Reduction in CAC and improvement in ROAS

• Volume and success rate of creative testing (e.g., % of winning creatives)

• Scalable acquisition growth across channels

• Measurable improvements in conversion rates in partnership with Product/Operations/Engineering teams
