Salary Range: €75K – €100K • Offers Equity • Offers Bonus

Almedia operates Freecash, Europe's #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000). Our 70M users get paid to engage with the biggest advertisers in the world. Our Growth team turns that traffic into revenue. Advertiser by advertiser, geo by geo, hour by hour.

You'll own a real book of business. There is a sales and account-management motion. The size of the responsibility comes from top-line ownership, not from chasing a quota. You'll shape the work, not just execute it.

• Own a book of 5–15 advertiser accounts end-to-end. You'll be the person behind the growth. The one advertisers ask when something breaks. The one our CEO checks in with when an account spikes.

• Run the ROAS dial. Tune internal Almedia ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) targets per offer, geo, and OS hourly. Translate cap-fill outcomes and retention targets into bid moves. Use Hex, Amplitude, Looker Studio, and the internal Freecash AI every working day.

• Catch problems before advertisers do. Know what each account should do next before they ask. Push budget increases, geo expansions, format tests on a schedule. Intervene before a metric becomes a complaint.

• Translate between teams. When a partner reports a cost-data drift, you debug and push our engineering teams for an ETA on the backend fix. You frame the response back to the partner. You don't just execute. You shape the work. New KPI rule, new escalation tree, new dashboard view. Process debt is everyone's debt. You redesign as much as you run.

• Ship the playbook. Document improvements to the Growth team's standard operating procedures every week.

• Days 1–30: Shadow our senior growth managers on their account calls. Take over 2 small accounts (sub-€10K daily spend) and learn the backbone of our growth engine.

• Days 31–60: Take over a full book of 5–10 accounts. Own your first KPI review with our Director or CEO. Contribute with your first written process improvement.

• Days 61–90: Senior team treats you as the named owner. You're already covering for a peer's vacation. You've spotted at least one non-obvious revenue lever on your book.

• How you grow beyond the 90 day mark: Within a few years, you will take on more regional accounts → take ownership of a full country → have responsibility for multiple countries or a continent → own a region (EMEA) or global (or vertical lead, e.g. gaming/non-gaming). You will see salary and equity increases as you perform.

• You come from a top-tier consulting firm, a scale-up, or are an entrepreneur yourself and have built real operating muscle. You're ready to own something, are entrepreneurial by nature and want depth, not rotation. We're industry-agnostic: your curiosity matters more than your sector.

• You read dashboards the way others read text. Whether it's Hex, Amplitude, Looker Studio, or Tableau, you can spot a 15% cohort revenue drop on a daily view in under 30 seconds.

• You're bilingual in the best sense, equally fluent and comfortable talking commercial with advertisers and technical with algorithm teams in the same day.

Bonus points if you:

• Know your way around platform-marketing metrics like ROAS, LTV, retention, and ARPU. If you don't yet, you will by week 2- we'll onboard you on the math.

• Have managed a book of advertiser or partner accounts in performance marketing, mobile gaming UA, or rewarded UA. If not, we're more than willing to develop you into that role.

• Have hands-on experience with MMPs like AppsFlyer, Adjust, or Singular. You can read postbacks, navigate attribution disputes, and explain View-Through Attribution to a confused partner.

• Have a background with Meta, Google, AppLovin, ironSource, or Unity Ads.

• Have built and grown a book of business in a measurable way, for example taking a €2M/yr account book to €8M/yr in 18 months.

• Have actually used Hex, worked inside the admin of a rewarded UA platform, or been on the advertiser side of one.
  

The 5 Almedia values, specific to this role:

1. Own Everything. Get It Done. When an advertiser drops 28 action items into your channel on Monday, you don't escalate. You triage, batch, and ship the 10 that matter by Friday. You don't ask for permission to fix obvious things.

2. Move Fast. Start Simple, Iterate Quickly. You'd rather change the ROAS target today on incomplete data, watch for 7–14 days, and learn. Not wait two weeks for a perfect read. You know the stabilisation window. You don't tune at hour 3. You also don't drift past day 14 without a verdict.

3. Take Initiative. Be Proactive. You spot the geo where the cap consistently under-fills. You ask the algo team why. You propose the test. You don't wait for someone to assign it.

4. Focus on Impact. You'd rather move €500K of monthly spend on the top account than €50K across five small ones. You know which accounts are load-bearing.

5. Raise the bar. When something is sub-optimal, you fix it AND document it. So the next person inherits a better one.

• Real account ownership from week 4. Not training to become a manager. You are the manager.

• Profitable from day one. Equity that is worth something.

• The team you're joining is hungry for help. Not a 30-person org chart looking for a 31st. An 8-person team that should be twice the size. Your impact is visible from week 1.

• A clear path: Growth Manager → Senior Growth Manager → Strategic Growth Lead → Head of (Region/Vertical). You see the rungs before you climb them.

• Other benefits like a central Berlin office, transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, Urban Sports Club, language learning.

We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.
