About the role

Reporting to the VPGrowth, you will manage Photoroom’s paid acquisition budget — an eight‑figure budget across Meta, AppleAds, Google / YouTube, TikTok, programmatic DSPs and future potential offline activities.

About You

• Seasoned Performance Marketer: relevant candidate usually tends to have 7+ years driving mobile and web UA with ownership of a ≥$25M yearly budget. That said, people learn and develop at different pace, so we hire based on skills, experience, and the impact they can have at Photoroom
• Subscription‑Model Expert: You’ve held the CAC→payback→renewal dial successfully in at least one freemium‑to‑paid product.
• Hands‑on Operator: Even as a leader, you log into ad platforms weekly and launch campaigns end‑to‑end yourself. You’re not afraid of building prototype and leverage AI to improve your productivity.
• Measurement fanatic: Fluent in SQL, Looker, Amplitude (or similar); you design A/B tests, lift studies, do not believe in a single attribution method, triangulate learnings, and then act on the findings. You’re our measurement guru and can coach other marketing and growth team members on their channels.
• Smart process builder: You understand managing a $25m budget requires processes, but you introduce them to remove actual pain points.
• Ship‑Fast & Candor: You believe speed wins and feedback fuels better decisions; radical candor is your default mode.
• Owner mentality: When ROAS dips, you diagnose, re‑allocate and fix—without waiting for permission.
