Role overview:

We’re hiring a Performance Manager (Apps) to run high-performance user acquisition for mobile products inside a growth squad. You’ll plan and execute multi-channel app campaigns, build and optimise web-to-app funnels, and turn insights into scale across both iOS and Android.

You’ll be hands-on with measurement and attribution (SKAN, MMPs like AppsFlyer), comfortable switching between app campaign types and web flows when the economics demand it, and confident leading creative testing - from writing hooks to briefing and interpreting results.

You’ll understand how app store listings impact conversion, how onboarding and paywalls shape payback, and how different signal and attribution strategies - from ADC to AEM, probabilistic to deterministic - influence accuracy and optimisation. You’ll know when to rely on platform automation and when to introduce custom optimisation setups to improve performance and tracking.

For the right person, this role will evolve into Growth Lead (Apps), shaping how Aperture scales acquisition and monetisation for mobile-first businesses.

Requirements

• Own media buying for apps across the right mix of channels (Apple Search Ads, Google App Campaigns, Meta, TikTok, and programmatic).
• Design and manage web-to-app and app-direct funnels; decide when to route traffic to web versus store based on conversion, tracking, and payback.
• Build weekly testing plans covering audiences, budgets, creative hypotheses, and landing/store experiments.
  
  

• Set up and maintain reliable measurement across SKAN, MMPs (e.g., AppsFlyer), and first-party event frameworks.
• Balance probabilistic and deterministic attribution methods, understanding their trade-offs for each platform and client.
• Operate and refine signal strategies (ADC, AEM, server-side events) to maximise optimisation accuracy and event quality.
• Reconcile platform, MMP, and internal data sources; communicate discrepancies transparently and propose solutions.
  
  

• Map and monitor the entire user journey: ad → web/store → install → onboarding → trial/subscription → retention.
• Partner with product and CRM to diagnose drop-offs in onboarding or paywall flows; make clear, testable recommendations.
  Model payback periods by cohort (D0, D7, D30+) and adjust budget recommendations based on LTV/CAC and cash flow.
  
  

• Optimise App Store and Play Store listings (screenshots, videos, metadata, localisation) to improve install conversion.
  Feed learnings from ads and onboarding into ASO strategies; measure and report impact on install-to-open and open-to-trial rates.
  
  

• Plan, brief, and optimise web funnels that support web-to-app or web-subscription flows.
• Use tools like RevenueCat, FunnelFox, and Web2Wave to unify subscription data, diagnose issues, and generate actionable insights.
• Build reporting that connects ad spend, store performance, and subscription data into a single view of true payback.
  
  

• Write strong hooks and headlines that convert; brief creative teams with clear hypotheses and success metrics.
• Partner with the Creative Strategist to produce concepts, analyse results, and iterate based on performance insights.
• Maintain a structured creative testing framework and tagging system for continuous learning.
  
  

• Lead regular performance reviews: what happened, why, and what’s next.
• Communicate tracking limitations, platform changes, and their impact on optimisation clearly.
• Work cross-functionally with data, product, CRM, and creative to keep tests moving and feedback loops short.
  

• Proven success running app acquisition campaigns with measurable impact on installs, trials, and subscriptions.
• Deep understanding of SKAN, MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Singular) and the evolving attribution landscape.
• Strong grasp of web-to-app funnel design, store conversion levers, onboarding flows, and payback modelling.
• Ability to balance probabilistic and deterministic attribution strategies and apply ADC/AEM insights effectively.
• Hands-on creative testing experience - writing, briefing, and scaling high-performing ads.
• Clear communicator who can translate data into confident strategic recommendations.
  
  

• Experience with server-side tracking, event deduplication, and postback validation.
  Familiarity with subscription analytics platforms like RevenueCat or custom LTV tracking.
• Understanding of cohort-based reporting and incrementality testing.
• Exposure to product-led growth strategies and retention modelling.
