Mobile User Acquisition Manager

Bullfinch Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a client of ours who are looking for a Mobile User Acquisition Manager to own hands-on acquisition performance across our portfolio of skill gaming and social gaming apps. Reporting to the Head of Mobile, you will turn the mobile growth strategy into scaled, profitable install and player acquisition across UA networks and app DSPs. You will manage significant budgets, work closely with creative, BI, product and other acquisition teams, and use cohort, LTV and ROAS data to decide where capital goes next. You will bring direct experience acquiring players for skill gaming apps, and the judgement to scale them efficiently.

What you will be doing

• You'll plan, launch and optimise app install campaigns across UA networks and app DSPs — AppLovin, Unity Ads, ironSource, Moloco, Liftoff and more — chasing quality players, not just cheap installs.
• You'll turn the Head of Mobile's growth strategy into real channel plans, budgets and testing roadmaps, and report progress against shared mobile KPIs.
• You'll live in the numbers: cohort, LTV, retention and ROAS analysis that tells you exactly when to scale, shift spend or pull the plug.
• You'll work with BI and the Head of Mobile on MMP setup, attribution accuracy and incrementality testing, including SKAN and ATT.
• You'll brief and iterate with creative on concepts and messaging that actually land with skill gaming audiences.
• You'll partner with product, CRO and CRM to lift conversion, activation and retention — and keep every campaign inside platform and regulatory requirements.

What we are looking for

• Proven experience acquiring players for skill gaming apps — this one is non-negotiable.
• A strong track record in mobile user acquisition and app performance marketing, scaling gaming apps and managing large media budgets.
• Deep hands-on experience with UA networks and app DSPs (AppLovin, Unity Ads, ironSource, Moloco, Liftoff).
• Confident with AppsFlyer (essential) and similar MMPs and mobile analytics tools.
• Sharp analytical skills — cohort, LTV and ROI analysis, and the ability to turn messy data into clear optimisation calls. Incrementality testing and predictive LTV are a big plus.
• Clear, direct communicator who works easily across creative, product, BI and analytics, thrives on changing priorities, and holds a degree in Marketing, Business Administration or similar. iGaming or social casino experience welcome.

We're small, fast and allergic to bureaucracy. You'll have real ownership from day one, direct access to decision-makers, and the freedom to build something properly good rather than sit in meetings about it.

How we work

Open communication in Slack (not hidden in DMs), outcomes documented in Monday.com, deadlines we actually agree and keep, cameras on for calls because we like feeling connected, and communication that says it in 20 words, not 1,000.

Our values are simple — PASSION and PERFORMANCE. We love the product, we want to work with the best, we hold each other accountable, we choose progress over perfectionism, and we have a strict no-arsehole policy. If that sounds like your kind of team, we'd love to hear from you.

Equal Opportunities

We hire based on skills, drive, and ideas — nothing else. Your background, gender, age, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, religion, neurodiversity, or educational path will never be a barrier to joining us. We also welcome candidates from non-traditional career journeys and value diverse perspectives that challenge conventional thinking. Diversity fuels our innovation, collaboration, and growth, and we're committed to creating an environment where everyone can contribute their best work and thrive.
