  • Negotiate and manage strategic partnerships to secure premium placements, first-party integrations, and innovative solutions.  

Measurement, Data & Attribution  

  • Drive the vision for how data informs the client’s mobile marketing and business decisions.  

  • Develop strong POVs on app measurement best practices, including SKAN, privacy-first methodologies, and incrementality testing.  

  • Identify and lead initiatives to improve data aggregation and visualization—turning complex signals into clear, business-focused insights.  

  • Partner with analytics and engineering teams to define KPIs, guide dashboard development, and ensure privacy-compliant tracking via MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch).  

  • Communicate insights with clarity and impact, enabling data-driven strategies across the client’s organization.
