We are looking for a highly systematic Head of User Acquisition to own and scale paid acquisition for one of our core D2C subscription products. You will be fully responsible for building a stable, structured, high-ROI traffic operation — defining the strategy, managing the budget, leading the team, and driving consistent, predictable performance across all paid channels. The core challenge is not just scaling spend — it is diversifying a concentrated channel mix and profitably scaling new channels and geos to reduce platform dependence.

This is a high-impact role suited for someone who thinks in systems, not campaigns. Performance instability, inconsistent execution, and unresolved issues are not acceptable.

• Proven track record managing paid acquisition at scale across multiple platforms
