User Acquisition Lead

WildCard is scaling casual, ad-monetized, retentive mobile games with performance-focused, creative-driven UA. We have a unique approach and structure that makes us hyper-effective.

We’re looking for an Architect, not just a media buyer or analyst. Someone who knows how to build processes, pace budgets, work hand in hand with data teams, scale spend, and grow revenue 100% YoY.

As UA Lead, you’ll own paid media strategy across games, shaping launch and scale cycles alongside Creative and Product leadership. This role demands a deep understanding of mobile gaming dynamics, performance marketing rigor, and data-driven decision making.

Key Responsibilities

• Own campaign management and optimization, with a focus on in-app ad networks (AppLovin, Unity, Mintegral, etc.) and incentivized channels
• Propose, allocate, and pace multi-title UA budgets
• Collaborate cross-functionally to move fast on launches, scale bets, and creative iterations
• Build and mentor a growing UA team over time
• Define the vision for UA data visualization, cohort tracking, and creative testing insights
• Partner with our central data team on advanced projects like LTV modeling and incrementality analysis
• Lead core ad monetization tasks : blocking competitors, network onboarding, AB test identification and execution
• Leave behind operational excellence : processes, dashboards, playbooks, and a trained team

Qualifications

• 4+ years in performance marketing for mobile apps, ideally with ad-monetized games experience
• Deep familiarity with in-app ad networks and SKAN ecosystem nuances
• Hands-on experience setting up and scaling apps via MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Kochava)
• Strong analytical chops—you live in cohorts, payback curves, and ROAS models
• Clear communicator who can work with some PST hours overlap

Why WildCard?

You won’t just be managing campaigns. You’ll be helping architect the growth engine of a profitable, scaling games studio.

More ownership. More impact. Less red tape.
