ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior User Acquisition Manager to own and scale Google as a performance channel for one of our core D2C subscription products. You will be fully responsible for the channel end to end - strategy, campaign structures, bidding, budget allocation, creative testing, and consistent, high-ROI growth across multiple geos, driving subscriptions through web funnels. Google is your primary channel, and you will also run and grow Meta as a secondary channel, applying solid paid social experience across both.
We work AI-first: campaigns are researched, built, and optimized with the help of AI agents (Claude), directed by a human expert. You are expected to use AI as your daily co-pilot - for keyword and audience research, ad copy, account audits, and automating the repetitive parts of the job.
This is a hands-on role suited for someone who runs a channel like a business, not a set of campaigns. You are expected to make independent, data-driven decisions, present a clear weekly strategy, and keep performance stable. For a strong operator, this role has a clear growth path - proven results lead to bigger scope, and over time, to leading the UA function.

- Own budgets and make data-driven budget allocation decisions across campaigns and geos.
- Prepare and present a clear weekly channel strategy with results and next steps.
TESTING & NEW APPROACHES
- Continuously test new campaign structures, keywords, audiences, bidding strategies, and placements.
- Identify and pilot new approaches before performance plateaus, scaling what works.
- Run structured creative testing to find winning angles, hooks, and formats.

- Research competitors' acquisition strategies, creatives, and channels.
WORKING WITH AI

- Continuously look for ways AI can raise the speed and quality of channel operations.
ANALYTICS & DATA
- Build custom performance models, analyses, and reporting in Excel, Tableau, and Mixpanel.
- Develop growth plans based on CPA, ROAS, and ARPU cohort data with the data team.
- Own the channel testing roadmap: keywords, bidding, geo-expansion, and landing funnels.

MUST-HAVE EXPERIENCE
- 4+ years of hands-on performance marketing experience, with Google as a primary channel you have owned.
- Experience managing $500K+ monthly ad spend with clear ROI accountability.
