• Identify, test, and scale new acquisition channels, creator/influencer opportunities, partnerships, communities, and growth initiatives that can expand CTW's player base and revenue in the Americas.
• Analyze player, campaign, and market data to identify growth opportunities and determine where to scale, optimize, or stop investment.
• Monitor the U.S. gaming market, competitors, player behavior, and emerging trends, providing actionable local-market recommendations to Japan-based leadership.
• Collaborate with product, creative, analytics, publishing, and Japan-based marketing teams to improve overall game performance and player monetization.

• Ability to translate performance data and market insights into actionable growth strategies and business decisions.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, highly performance-driven environment with significant ownership and hands-on execution.
