This person will lead paid user acquisition function globally — owning Meta, Google, and new channel performance across 20+ countries with ~$9-10M annual ad spend and a team of 10+ (Meta Lead, Google Lead, regional UAMs, Web/LP, CRM).Specifically:
- Own global paid performance strategy and execution: Meta Ads, Google Ads (Search, PMax, YouTube, Display), and expansion into new channels (TikTok, etc.)
- Drive ROMI targets across 8 regions (LatAm, Turkey, Brazil, Indonesia, Poland, Italy, ENG, CIS) — the 2026 target is $23M+ from Meta & Google alone, $1M from new channels
- Build and enforce playbooks for campaign setup, testing frameworks, scale/kill decision criteria, and creative briefing — today these are underdeveloped or missing
- Automate and systematize UA operations: reduce manual routine, build repeatable processes, establish clear SOPs for the team
- Improve team coordination: transition the UA↔Creative interaction to a service-based model with formal briefs, SLAs, and prioritization rules
- Own the UA backlog and decision-making framework — what to test, what to scale, what to kill, and why
- Integrate CRM-based retargeting and LP optimization into paid flows to improve conversion across the funnel
- Use attribution data, content library insights, and synthetic research in budget allocation and optimization decisions
- Partner closely with Growth (new channels, UVP testing, non-TC funnels), Creative (briefs, asset iteration), and Social&Influence teams
- Build fast global↔regional feedback loops so winning approaches scale and losing ones get cut quickly
