• You’ve owned performance budgets of at least €70k+/month and can independently drive profitable growth at scale.

• You’re comfortable taking responsibility and want to join a company where you can make an impact.

• Demonstrable success increasing conversion rates on Play/App Store pages and custom product pages

• Multiple languages are always useful, especially if you have native-level fluency in English (especially British, American, or Australian tone of voice), German, Italian, or Spanish
