WHO WE ARE

At Macadam, we've built an app that rewards people for walking. With over 16 million users across France, Spain, and Italy, we help people turn their daily steps into real rewards — cash, prizes, and partner offers — while building healthier habits.

Our product sits at the intersection of gamification, lifestyle, and wellbeing. We're profitable, growing fast, and investing heavily in what comes next: a deeper game layer, new monetisation models, and new acquisition channels launching over the coming quarters. The person in this role will be at the centre of that growth.

THE ROLE

You will play a key role in leading our user acquisition at Macadam day to day:planning, optimisation, measurement, and creative testing.

This is a hands-on operator role managing significant budgets with clear ROAS targets. You'll work alongside our existing UA Manager and closely with our creative, data, and product teams, and you'll have real autonomy to move fast, test, and drive our DAU growth.

We're looking for someone who is curious about what's next. Someone who keeps a close eye on how people discover apps, enjoys testing new ideas, and can spot opportunities early. Whether that's new ad networks, organic growth, AI-driven campaign automation, or emerging channels, you'll play a central role in shaping how Macadam grows.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Operate across key partners : Meta, TikTok, Apple Search Ads, Google Ads, AppLovin, plus SDK and vertical ad networks ,apps with first-party inventory, like Citymapper

• Manage monthly budgets with clear profitability targets.

• Acquisition performance analysis at the network, campaign, creative, and geo level — optimising toward retention and LTV-based targets, not installs

• Turn performance data into testable creative hypotheses, and brief our in-house creative team with sharp, actionable briefs

• Grow our affiliate and CPA channels: payout models, publisher recruitment, tracking, ongoing management

• Explore growth levers beyond paid: ASO, organic and search discovery, referral working with the wider growth team

• Optimise and improve our existing campaign management, creative, and AI tools and share what works with the rest of the team

• Build and maintain strong relationships with our ad network and platform partners

• Collaborate closely with Creative, Product, Data, and Monetisation to drive growth as one team

WHO YOU ARE

• 3–6 years of hands-on experience in mobile user acquisition

• Deep expertise across major platforms like Meta, TikTok, and AppLovin, as well as SDK ad networks and rewarded ad networks

• Experience across both gaming and non-gaming app ( health, wellness). You understand the nuances around how performance campaigns and creatives differ

• Experience with IAP-driven UA, you know what changes about campaign strategy and network optimisation for IAP campaigns

• CPA and affiliate channel experience tracking setup, publisher relationships, payout economics

• Strong creative mind: you come up with original angles, write briefs a creative team can execute against, and iterate based on data or identifying up and coming social media trends.

• Highly analytical and fluent with MMP and BI tools; able to turn insights into action fast

• You use AI already as part of day-to-day tasks: you use it to automate repetitive parts of your job and actively look for the next thing to automate

• Not a yes-person. If your manager is wrong, say so. If a process is broken, flag it. Direct, honest feedback in both directions is how we get things done

• Fluent English, written and spoken

BONUS POINTS IF:

• You've scaled growth marketing for subscription based mobile apps

• You've run web-to-app campaigns: landing page optimisation, tracking, funnel testing

• You've run influencer marketing campaigns: sourcing creators, structuring deals, measuring performance

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Real ownership: a senior seat reporting directly to the Chief Growth Officer, with direct impact on company trajectory

• Significant and growing UA budgets across multiple live channels

• A profitable, fast-moving company that makes decisions based on data, not consensus

• Competitive salary + performance-based bonus

• Meal voucher

• Wellness allowance (Urban Sports)

• Private healthcare (Alan)

• Hybrid working with international flexibility — offices in Paris and Barcelona

• 4 Macadam holiday days

• Friday team lunch

• Company events and offsites
