#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?

We've got the brands, we've got the stars, we've got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we're missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

We are hiring an Audience Acquisition Specialist for our DTC Paramount team. This role is based (5) days on-site in Burbank, CA or New York City, NY. As an Audience Acquisition Specialist for MACS, you will own the day-to-day execution of paid mobile app user acquisition campaigns across Paramount+ and PlutoTV. You will manage recurring performance reporting, budget pacing and shifting, creative delivery and trafficking, and end-to-end PlutoTV campaign operations, while serving as the primary point of contact for key acquisition partners (e.g., InMobi, Moloco, Jampp, YouAPPi) and spearheading ongoing CPA optimization and A/B testing. The ideal candidate has prior experience in paid app user acquisition and is looking to grow their career within mobile app marketing, with a well-developed awareness of how to drive business goals and evaluate performance against key metrics (KPIs). Knowledge with the mobile app ecosystem - including app post-back tracking, the iOS ATT measurement framework, SKAN attribution, and MMP technology (e.g., Kochava) - is a strong plus. The candidate shows a robust work ethic and a drive to continually learn and grow their digital marketing skills, and must be organized, punctual, and professional.

• Manage budget pacing and shifting across the app portfolio, including twice-weekly pacing checks, IO issuance, and reconciliation against monthly spend and CPA/CPIA targets
• Own recurring performance reporting, including Monday/Wednesday reporting checks across Paramount+ app campaigns, bi-weekly US insights reporting, and monthly ad-hoc reporting for priority titles
• Coordinate creative delivery and trafficking, including banners, videos, and native creatives for top-tier shows, plus monthly creative selection across app partners
• Run end-to-end PlutoTV campaign operations, including media planning, creative delivery, and performance reporting
• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact across key acquisition partners, managing relationships, optimization, and testing roadmaps
• Drive performance testing initiatives (e.g., carousel/CTA A/B tests) and ongoing CPA optimization across DSP and partner channels
• Monitor campaign performance and delivery to ensure campaigns deliver in full against agreed flight dates and budgets, proactively taking action if campaigns fall short
• Collaborate with partners and internal teams to ensure billing accuracy, invoice tracking, and data integrity across internal dashboards
• Collaborate with the larger MACS team to communicate campaign progress, learnings, and updates in mobile app marketing, and monitor competitor activity and industry trends
• Execute special projects as needed

Key Projects -

• Build and launch mobile app campaigns with accuracy for tags, names, and tracking details
