User Acquisition Manager

What you'll do:

• Own strategy, execution, pacing, and optimization across paid social channels. 
• Serve as Underdog's in-house expert on performance social, with deep expertise in Meta's advertising ecosystem and a strong understanding of how to unlock incremental scale on TikTok.
• Develop and execute a testing roadmap across audience strategy, bidding, campaign structure, creative, and measurement to continuously improve efficiency and identify new growth opportunities.
• Partner closely with TikTok and Meta account teams to influence product roadmaps, gain early access to beta features, and ensure we're leveraging platform capabilities to their fullest.
• Translate MMP and backend performance data into clear insights, budget recommendations, and executive-ready reporting.
• Work closely with Analytics and Data Science to validate attribution, forecast accurately, and optimize toward KPIs. 
• Partner with Creative to develop channel-specific creative strategies, establish a rapid feedback loop, and continuously improve performance through testing and iteration.

Who you are:

• 5+ years of hands-on user acquisition experience with a strong focus on paid social for a consumer app.
• Deep expertise managing large-scale acquisition programs across Meta, with meaningful experience scaling TikTok. Experience with Snapchat is a plus.

• Exceptional experience with mobile measurement platforms (Adjust, AppsFlyer, or Singular), including attribution validation and performance analysis.
• Highly analytical, with the ability to synthesize complex performance data into clear recommendations and actionable business insights.
• Experience partnering closely with Creative teams to inform creative strategy and establish high-velocity testing programs.
• Demonstrated success designing and owning a structured experimentation roadmap across channels, creative, audiences, and platform capabilities.
• Experience in gaming, fintech, sports betting, or another high-growth consumer app environment.
• Comfortable managing and developing team members while maintaining a high bar for execution.

Bonus points if you have:

• Built or significantly scaled TikTok into a major acquisition channel from an early stage.
• Experience implementing AI-driven workflows or automation to improve UA efficiency and creative testing.
• Familiarity with SQL or BI tools (Sigma, Looker, Tableau).
