Senior User Acquisition Manager optimizing mobile growth through data-driven campaign scaling.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior User Acquisition Manager with 9 years 9 months of experience launching advertising campaigns and optimizing traffic for mobile games across multiple video and DSP networks. I focus on KPI achievement, ROI, and scaling purchasing strategies with clear test roadmaps, budgets, and hypothesis-driven optimization.
In my current role at KEFIR Studio, I optimize traffic for Last Day on Earth and Sunday City using sources like Liftoff, Unity Ads, ironSource, Applovin, Moloco, and Mintegral. I monitor budget execution, lead creative and format testing (video, playables, static), automate routine UA processes, and coordinate with production to shape creative requests and feedback.
Previously, I managed mobile application development coordination and store publishing workflows (App Store Connect, Google Play Console, RuStore Console), and earlier owned full-cycle mobile traffic purchasing for major partners across platforms including Unity Ads, Vungle, Persona.ly, Facebook, Google Ads, and Taboola. My core strength is turning performance insights into repeatable scaling systems—while staying strong on communication, teamwork, and partner collaboration.
