Requirements
• Build and maintain a rigorous creative testing framework — establishing kill logic, CPA thresholds, and iteration velocity to consistently surface winners • Own mobile attribution infrastructure: serve as the primary decision-maker on MMP configuration, incrementality testing methodology, and resolving discrepancies between platform-reported and true performance • Design and implement UA automation — from bid management and ad pausing logic to performance reporting — to maximize output per headcount • Own full-funnel thinking beyond the ad platforms — identifying and driving conversion improvements across the onboarding journey in collaboration with product and engineering • Establish incrementality testing programs (geo lift, platform lift, holdout tests) to build conviction in channel spend beyond last-click attribution • Maintain a clear, defensible measurement framework — including a point of view on MMP vs. platform-reported discrepancies, view-through vs. click-through attribution, and enhanced matching strategies • 10+ years in mobile user acquisition, with at least 5 years in a lead or senior individual contributor role • Hands-on experience managing significant budgets across Meta and Google Ads, with working knowledge of TikTok and Apple Search Ads • Deep understanding of mobile attribution — MMPs (Appsflyer, Adjust, or similar), SKAN, attribution waterfalls, and the practical gap between MMP and platform-reported data • Experience building or operating creative testing systems with defined KPIs and kill criteria (cost per trial, cost per install, etc.) • Comfort with automation tooling (Meta Ads API, Google Ads scripts, Claude Code) and a proven track record of instrumenting AI to scale output • Strong analytical instincts — you can tell the difference between a signal and noise, and you build your measurement stack accordingly • Experience managing a small team while remaining hands-on in the channels • Experience working cross-functionally with engineering teams to optimize funnels and conversion rates • SQL proficiency for independent analysis and funnel diagnostics
Responsibilities
• Own Wealthsimple's user acquisition strategy across paid channels (Meta, Google, TikTok, Apple Search Ads) • Lead and develop a team of three working across performance, creative, and in-platform execution — setting direction, removing blockers, and building systems that compound their output
