Role Summary
We're hiring a Manager – Performance Marketing to own an entire channel (or set of channels) end to end for one or more apps: the strategy, the budget, the team, and the business outcomes. This role owns the channel and its corresponding KPIs: you are accountable for the numbers, not just the campaigns that produce them.
What You'll Do
Own full channel-level accountability, e.g. all of Meta or all of Google UAC, including strategy, budget, and headline KPIs for assigned app(s)
Own and be accountable for business-level KPIs: blended CAC, ROAS, LTV:CAC, F2P%, T2M%, and payback period for your channel(s)
Set the quarterly/monthly targets for your channel(s) in partnership with leadership and own the roadmap to hit them
Decide overall budget allocation across your channel(s), campaigns, and apps to maximize portfolio-level efficiency
Lead and mentor the Assistant Managers/Senior Executives working on your channel(s), reviewing their optimization strategy and decisions
Own high-stakes root-cause analysis on your channel's KPI misses and present findings/action plans to senior leadership
Identify and lead new channel, format, or platform opportunities to unlock scale
Own platform and vendor relationships (Meta, Google, Apple, MMP partners) for your channel(s), including access to betas and account-level support
Set reporting and process standards for how your channel(s) are tracked and optimized across the team
Partner with product, analytics, and creative leadership to align channel strategy with broader business goals
What We're Looking For
4–7 years of performance marketing experience, with at least 1–2 years owning full channel-level KPIs and managing a team
Proven track record of being accountable for, and moving, business-level metrics (blended CAC, ROAS, LTV:CAC), not just campaign-level optimization
Deep hands-on expertise in at least one major channel (Meta Ads Manager, Google UAC, or Apple Search Ads), with strong working knowledge of the others
Strong strategic and analytical thinking: able to build a channel roadmap and own the trade-offs, not just react to performance
Experience in B2C/consumer app marketing at scale, ideally in regional Indian language markets
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills: comfortable owning and presenting channel performance to senior leadership
Nice to Have
Experience building or scaling creative testing frameworks or fatigue-detection systems
Exposure to marketing automation/AI tooling for reporting or creative intelligence
Experience owning a channel across multiple apps/markets simultaneously
What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months)
Full accountability for your channel's KPIs with a demonstrated, measurable improvement quarter over quarter
A functioning, well-mentored team executing consistently against your channel strategy
A channel roadmap actively shaping product and creative decisions, backed by clear ownership of outcomes
Ovii Interpretation
The Manager – Performance Marketing leads one or more acquisition channels for Eloelo Group apps, with accountability for channel strategy, budget, and business KPIs. The role combines hands-on platform expertise with team development, performance analysis, and collaboration across product, analytics, creative, and senior leadership.

Good fit signals
Has 4–7 years of performance marketing experience, including 1–2 years owning channel KPIs and managing a team.
Can demonstrate accountability for business metrics such as blended CAC, ROAS, and LTV:CAC—not only campaign optimization.
Brings deep hands-on expertise in at least one major acquisition channel and working knowledge of others.
