Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've scaled user acquisition and revenue for mobile apps or streaming platforms to 10M+ users; you know Meta, Google, TikTok, and programmatic inside-out
  • You can run both growth marketing (CAC, LTV, funnel optimization) AND build brand equity; you're not just a performance marketer
  • You thrive in high-growth, ambiguous environments; you're comfortable building a U.S. team from scratch or inheriting a small one and scaling fast
  • You're obsessed with data, A/B testing, and iteration; you speak ROAS, retention curves, and cohort analysis fluently
  • You have 7-10+ years of marketing leadership experience and have managed $5M+ annual budgets or built profitable customer acquisition engines
Won't Work If
  • You need remote work or significant WFH flexibility; this is on-site LA, full stop
  • You're primarily a brand marketer or strategist; growth marketing (user acquisition, CAC/LTV optimization) is 50% of this role and you need to own it end-to-end
  • You've never managed paid acquisition channels or don't understand mobile app growth funnels and attribution modeling
  • You're risk-averse or prefer stable, mature markets; this is a hypergrowth, pre-mainstream entertainment category with execution risk
