Job brief:

As a Senior Manager, Performance & Growth Marketing at The Weather Company, you will be the data-driven, strategic, and inherently curious architect of our cross-platform user acquisition engine. Joining the Audience Development department, you will hold total ownership over our presence in both the iOS and Android stores, serving as our go-to authority on app store strategy with the support of external performance agencies to execute your vision. This position begins with a highly tactical, hands-on role laying the technical foundation, naturally shifting toward high-level strategy as you build, hire, and lead a lean internal growth team.

The impact you'll make:

In this role, you will execute a comprehensive set of primary growth and acquisition responsibilities:

1. App Store Mastery & Funnel Optimization

• Own the App Stores: Lead the organic and paid strategy for our iOS and Android store pages, ensuring our store presence is optimized to convert.
• Tailor the User Journey: Know precisely when to deploy Custom Product Pages (CPPs) for iOS and Custom Store Listings (CSLs) for Android to match our ad creatives with the perfect store experience.
• Leverage Landing Pages: Design, test, and deploy web landing pages to assist conversions, creating seamless web-to-app onboarding paths that turn casual web visitors into loyal subscribers.
• Monitor Platform Shifts: Keep your radar tuned to the latest privacy updates, algorithmic changes, and feature releases from Apple and Google so our strategies never fall behind.

2. Performance Marketing & Agency Management

• Build the Foundation: Establish a scalable, repeatable paid acquisition playbook across programmatic, search, and social channels—with a heavy emphasis on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube.
• Direct External Agencies: Act as the primary strategic partner for our external media-buying agency, maintaining accountability for their delivery, optimization frameworks, and spend efficiency.
• Focus on LTV Barometers: Look past temporary surface-level spikes in cheap clicks or installs. Your success will be measured on your ability to acquire qualified users who stick around as long-term subscribers.

3. Data Integrity & Algorithmic Optimization

• Feed the Machine: Algorithms shift like the wind, and you need to know how to navigate them. Ensure our downstream subscription data and post-install events flow cleanly back into ad networks to train their optimization engines effectively.
• Master the Technical Stack: Feel comfortable speaking the language of tracking and data attribution. You should have a solid conceptual grasp of Conversion APIs (CAPI), custom event tracking, and Floodlights.
• Analyze the Climate: Dive deep into our analytics suites to understand cohort behavior and determine exactly where our most profitable growth is coming from.

What you've accomplished:

• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in performance or growth marketing, with a proven track record driving web and/or app subscription models.
• Platform Knowledge: Direct, real-world experience managing campaigns within Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, and the Google Marketing Platform (GMP).
• Store Savvy: Experience managing Apple Search Ads and Google App Campaigns, alongside a strong grasp of ASO principles for iOS and Android.
• Technical Literacy: Comfortable talking about marketing tech stacks, pixels, and server-side tracking concepts. You know how data connects from an ad click to a subscription renewal.
• Innate Curiosity: You are a lifelong student of user acquisition. You genuinely find joy in participating in major industry milestones like Google Marketing Live to grab the newest tools before the competition does.
