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 of experience launching and scaling user acquisition campaigns for mobile games across video and DSP platforms. I focus on achieving KPIs, improving ROI, and driving growth through structured testing, clear budgeting, and data-driven decision-making.
In my current role at KEFIR Studio, I manage user acquisition for Last Day on Earth and Sunday City across platforms such as Liftoff, Unity Ads, ironSource, AppLovin, Moloco, and Mintegral. I own budget management, lead creative testing across video, playable, and static formats, automate internal UA processes, and collaborate closely with production teams on creative development and iteration.
Previously, I coordinated mobile application development and led store publishing processes across App Store Connect, Google Play Console, and RuStore. Earlier, I managed full-cycle user acquisition across multiple platforms, including Unity Ads, AppLovin, Vungle, ironSource, Facebook, Google Ads, and Taboola.
