Appodeal
is a dynamic US-based product company with a truly global presence.
We have offices in
Warsaw, Barcelona and Parkland (FL),
along with remote team members located around the world.
Our company thrives on diversity, collaboration, and innovation, making us a leader in the mobile app monetization space.
Why Appodeal?
At Appodeal, we’re more than just a company—we’re a team united by a common mission:
Help people discover and grow their talents through products that enable successful mobile app businesses!
We take pride in our cutting-edge product and our internationally dispersed team of talented professionals.
Here’s what we value, and what we hope you do too:
Seek the Truth and Say It with Care:
We find the truth together, and nobody owns it, the CEO included. Stories, perspectives and beliefs can be personal. Facts can’t.
Leverage Data to Build Product:
Our decisions start from data. We build systems rather than one-off tasks, use AI agents in our daily work and automate whatever is manual. When numbers don’t match, we fix them.
We Work Together to Serve Others:
No closed doors between teams. We share what we learn and win as one company first.
Insist on Higher Standards:
We don’t settle for “good enough”. We question it and push for better.
Passionate Curiosity Fuels Perseverance:
We ask “why”, take on ambiguous problems and keep going when they get hard.
Lean Startup Mentality: Start Small, Iterate Quickly:
Think big, ship an MVP first and learn fast. No big-bang releases.
Ownership and Accountability:
We work in small squads so each team owns its result end to end and has the freedom to get there. Go deep in your craft and wide enough to own the whole outcome. Escalate blockers early, admit mistakes, fix the damage and learn.
Why this role exists:
Our economics are richer than a typical software P&L. Gross billings flow through us to publishers, so what we book and what we keep are two different numbers. We deploy our own capital into user acquisition and earn it back over cohorts. Revenue moves with eCPMs, impression volume, network mix, portfolio concentration and platform policy — sometimes in the same month.
Leadership and the board need one version of that story: built once, refreshed on a calendar, and trusted by everyone reading it. That is what this role owns. You will be the analytical spine of the company — the person who owns the model, runs the planning cycle, and turns 200+ metrics into the handful of numbers that actually drive decisions.
What you’ll own:
The consolidated operating model.
Driver-based revenue, gross profit, opex, headcount and cash for the group — annual budget, quarterly re-forecast, monthly rolling view. One model, one source of truth, documented well enough that someone else can audit it.
Board and investor reporting.
Build the board package end to end: KPI pack, P&L and cash bridges, plan-versus-actual, and a written narrative that explains movements rather than restating them. You own the calendar, the pre-reads and the follow-ups.
The monthly cycle.
Partner with Accounting through close, produce variance analysis against budget and forecast, and get a flash view to leadership in the first days of the month — with the reasons attached, not just the deltas.
Revenue economics.
Model gross ad revenue and net revenue after publisher payouts, take rate by product and cohort, eCPM and impression drivers, and network and publisher concentration — keeping the gross-versus-net presentation consistent with how revenue is recognized.
UA capital and Accelerator economics.
Treat the UA fund as a capital allocation problem: cohort ROAS and payback curves, capital deployed versus recouped, per-title P&Ls, revenue-share deal models to support go/no-go calls, and a clear read on the working capital tied up between paying for installs and collecting from networks.
Opex and headcount partnering.
Be the finance partner to Product, Engineering, Growth and G&A: hiring plans, vendor and cloud spend, return on what we choose to fund, and the discipline to say plainly what something costs.
Scenario and sensitivity work.
Take-rate and pricing changes, network mix shifts, privacy and platform policy changes, FX across our entities, downside cases with the levers named and quantified.
The reporting stack.
Move routine reporting out of spreadsheets and into BI and planning tooling, working with the Data team so finance definitions match what the product actually measures.
Management
of 2 financial analysts.
What you bring:
7+ years in FP&A, investment banking, transaction services or strategy consulting, including at least two to three years in an operating seat owning a budget and forecast cycle.
Modeling that holds up under scrutiny: driver-based three-statement models, cohort and unit economics, scenario mechanics built for someone else to inspect.
Building automation into finance reporting — this seat's own charter: AI-assisted forecasting, an agentic reporting layer, rolling-forecast automation, scenario tooling, automated variance reporting.
Fluency with large transactional datasets — you should be able to answer your own questions rather than queue for them.
Experience presenting to executives and a board, and the judgment to know which three numbers matter in a given month.
Direct, transparent communication in English (our working language), and the ability to disagree with a commercial team while keeping them as a partner.
Ownership as a default: you see gaps in process and close them without being assigned to.
Leadership experience - mentoring and leading a team of analysts.
Based in or relocating to Barcelona, eligible to work in Spain, and comfortable with a hybrid rhythm.
Nice to have:
Ad tech, mobile gaming, marketplaces, healthcare, financial services, telecommunications, e-commerce or any other pass-through revenue business — including principal-versus-agent and gross-versus-net revenue judgments.
Multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation across US and EU entities.
A planning tool (Pigment, Anaplan, Abacum, Planful) and BI (Looker, Tableau, Metabase), plus a modern ERP such as NetSuite.
Python, SQL or dbt for analysis, and the instinct to automate any report you have built twice.
With an outstanding product and a mission that excites and inspires, Appodeal offers a unique opportunity to make an impact while being part of an amazing team.

About the Role
We're hiring an Office Manager
to join our Parkland office. As an
Office Manager
you keep this place running: the daily condition of every room and system, the vendors and the landlord, food and supplies, the equipment and screens, the logistics of every visit, and the calendar of events that gives the office its social life.
There is also a building job inside this one - nothing here is automated yet. There is no tool that reorders supplies, chases vendors, reminds you about birthdays, restarts the screens or passes the team's feedback to our chef, and the office's own reporting is put together by hand. Setting that up is part of the role, and a good place to start is an automatic count of the things that were not caught in time. What stays with a person is everything that needs someone in the building: walking the space before the day begins, being there when the AC technician arrives, setting up a room, welcoming a visitor, noticing the thing no system is watching. If you enjoy shaping things that are still taking form, there is plenty of room here.
Key Responsibilities
1. Daily condition of the office
Walk the building every morning before core hours against a documented checklist: every room, plus electrical, Wi-Fi and technology, plumbing, access and air conditioning.
Turn anything failing into a task for the handyman or a vendor ticket the same morning.
Keep the kitchen, bathrooms, gym and outdoor areas to our standard, with a little buffer on the items people notice straight away.
2. Vendors, landlord and repairs
Choose and manage the vendors the office works with: air conditioning, pool, landscaping, electrical, gate, security, cleaning and grounds.
See every ticket through to a close: an owner, a date, someone on site for the visit, a check that the work was done well, and the invoice filed.
Hold the relationship with the landlord for repairs and payments, and support a lease renewal or a possible office move.
3. Equipment and technology
Own the state of the office equipment: screens and dashboards, the video portal, meeting-room AV, and access credentials.
Work closely with the on-site handyman, who is hands-on with much of the technical setup and systems, while remaining the person who owns the overall picture.
4. Food, kitchen and supplies
Send meal counts to the office chef on schedule and adjust them as the week changes.
Order supplies for the kitchen, bathrooms, gym, laundry and printing, and keep stock ahead of demand.
Choose office food suppliers and catering, including finding alternatives when the team's feedback points that way.
5. Leadership sessions, QBRs and visitors
Run the ground logistics for every visit: rooms, AV, meals through the day, arrivals and access.
Get in touch with each visitor beforehand with the address, hotel options, timings and what to expect on site.
Put the whole logistics plan in the calendars of the visitors.
6. Team calendar, events and culture
Plan the year ahead: birthdays, seasonal holidays and office decoration, Friendsgiving, Christmas and gift exchanges, with the lead times each of them needs.
Organize team activities people actually want — wakeboarding, cooking classes, concerts and similar — and company volunteering, where employees give their time.
Partner with the office managers in Poland and Spain on shared events and practices.
7. Automation and measurement
Set up and run the office's own reporting, including a count of the issues that were not caught in time, produced automatically rather than by hand.
Automate the repetitive coordination: reordering, reminders, vendor scheduling, equipment checks, and feedback between the team and the chef.
Keep the office standard, vendor register and documentation up-to-date in Confluence.
8. Budget and spend
Track office spend, keep purchases within agreed limits, and flag where the office is overpaying.
Act straight away in an emergency within an agreed limit, and route larger commitments through your manager.
What We're Looking For
Three or more years in office management, facilities, executive support or hospitality
, with direct experience running a site or a residence to a high standard.
Evidence of having owned a place end to end
— a vendor tracker or system you built, a budget you held, an event you ran from start to finish for senior people.
Hospitality sense and exceptional attention to detail.
You look at a catered table and see that it needs plates, napkins, serving spoons in each dish, drinks and ice, without anyone mentioning it.
Real comfort with AI tools
. Practical hands-on use of AI tools in office, facilities or executive-support work: which specific workflows you improved, what results it produced, and how you checked the output was right.
Comfort working with numbers and dashboards.
You can pull together spend and office data, check it, and explain simply what it shows to someone who has not looked at it.
Follow-through without reminders.
You close loops nobody is watching.
Proactive planning
in weeks and months, not days.
Clear, warm communication, including with senior people
, and good judgement about when not to interrupt.
Fluent English
, written and spoken.
Confident with Google Workspace, Zoom, office dashboards, password managers, Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) and meeting tools such as Fellow — or able to pick them up quickly.
Based in or willing to relocate to the Parkland area, and available for occasional evening and weekend work.
Nice to Have
A background in luxury hospitality or private-client service.
Curiosity about automation and the basics of how software and scripts work.
Russian, in addition to English. Not required; the office runs in English.
Experience preparing a site for severe weather, or willingness to learn it.
Location and Travel
Parkland, Florida
- on site in Parkland five days a week. No business travel.
A driver's licence and your own car are strongly preferred.
With an outstanding product and a mission that excites and inspires, Appodeal offers a unique opportunity to make an impact while being part of an amazing team.

About the Role
We're hiring an Executive & Personal Assistant to the CEO
to protect the CEO's quality time and reduce the number of decisions he personally has to make. You'll own his calendar, his working and living environment, travel, health and wellness operations, household and office administration, finance administration across personal and corporate spend, and the coordination of the small support team that executes all of it. The executive and personal sides of a founder's life are one system here, so this role covers both — you direct execution while keeping ownership of the outcome.
And here's what makes this role different: you're not only running the operation, you're building the system that runs it. Meeting capture, transcription and OKR check-in data already happen automatically, and travel booking runs against a written playbook. What doesn't exist yet is a scorecard covering everyone in the support perimeter, fed by logs that collect themselves rather than by hand, and a way for the CEO to see the state of your work on a Monday morning without asking for it. Building both is a core expectation, not a nice extra — and as more of the administrative layer automates, this role shifts further toward reviewing what the systems produce, catching exceptions early, and managing the people and vendors around the automation.
You'll report directly to the CEO.
Key Responsibilities
Calendar and meeting discipline
Own the CEO's professional and personal calendar as a single integrated schedule — meetings, travel, training, treatments, family.
Enforce meeting discipline: agendas prepared, correct attendees, pre-reads circulated 24 hours ahead, action items captured and closed before the next meeting.
Manage requests for the CEO's time with judgement — decline, defer, delegate or escalate.
Resolve calendar conflicts independently and report the resolution rather than returning the decision.
Scorecards, reporting and automation
Build and maintain a personal scorecard and a team scorecard covering every person and vendor in the support perimeter, with digital logs of dates, responsibility areas and reports.
Hold a weekly and biweekly reporting rhythm that doesn't slip when operational demand rises.
Work inside the company's OKR system, track commitments and follow through to closure.
Automate recurring work with AI tooling — meeting notes and action items, scheduling, reporting, document drafting — and progressively reduce the manual load of the role itself.
Environment management
Make sure the Parkland office, the Barcelona setup and the CEO's home are ready before he arrives: climate, light, air quality, noise, cleanliness, food, connectivity.
Resolve environment problems on the spot rather than routing them, including when the responsible person is unavailable.
Travel, events and hospitality
Own business and personal travel end to end, with a travel assistant executing bookings against a playbook covering class, hotels and budget.
Manage conferences, quarterly business reviews, executive meetings, family occasions and milestones, gifts and deliveries.
Handle disruption — cancellations, reroutes, ground transport failures — as it happens.
Health, sport and wellness operations
Coordinate medical, dental and concierge medical appointments and follow-ups, keeping continuity of care across providers.
Manage the training schedule and wellness treatments, and manage nutrition with chefs in Parkland and Barcelona.
Protect wellbeing decisions actively, including against schedules that are locally normal and personally wrong.
Support perimeter and office operations
Coordinate the support team — travel assistant, house manager, driver, handyman — plus office and household vendors, without formal line authority over them.
Hire and onboard supporting roles, starting with an office manager.
Run payroll for hourly staff on a biweekly cycle, verifying timesheets before approval.
Keep vendor contracts, renewals and service quality under review, and supervise office operations including lease matters, setup and improvement.
Finance administration
Corporate card management: receipts, notes, monthly close.
Personal and family payments through a dedicated account, with regular reporting and funding requests.
Light bookkeeping and cost review across the support perimeter.
Legal and personal projects
Drive immigration, visa and documentation matters to completion, including in-house filings and deadline tracking.
Household administration: security and camera systems, maintenance, insurance and service contracts.
Family support requests, with CEO approval.
What We're Looking For
Experience
Prior experience supporting a founder or CEO across both business and personal domains — not a scheduling-only or office-management-only background.
Coordinating people and vendors without formal authority: household or office staff, contractors, service providers.
International travel coordination — flights, hotels, visas, ground transport.
Systems and Data
You can build and maintain a scorecard or dashboard from scratch: define what's tracked, get the data in automatically where possible, and explain what the numbers mean to someone who wasn't involved.
A track record of holding a reporting rhythm under operational pressure, evidenced by artefacts you built and maintained yourself.
Demonstrated AI experience in this domain — scheduling, meeting notes and action items, reporting, document drafting — with the ability to describe the workflows you improved, the results they delivered, and how you validated the output.
Tools
Advanced Google Workspace; Slack; Zoom.
A corporate expense platform such as Ramp, and payroll for hourly employees such as Rippling, with light bookkeeping.
Soft Skills
Exceptional attention to detail and very high personal standards.
The resilience to absorb a high volume of competing tasks without letting the reporting cycle slip.
Independent judgement — comfortable deciding and being accountable rather than escalating everything.
Discretion: a very high standard of privacy around business, family, health and finances.
Fluent English; US work authorisation; willing to work from Parkland four days a week with one day remote.
Nice to Have
Confluence and Jira, or comparable documentation and tracking tools.
Experience with an OKR tracking system; a meeting-management tool such as Fellow; a scheduling AI such as Motion.
Nutrition, health and wellness knowledge.
Experience hiring and onboarding household or office staff, and experience with immigration and visa processes.
How Success Is Measured
Success in this role is measured through:
The CEO never having to ask where something stands
Task state visible to him without being requested
Every person and vendor in the perimeter measured, with data arriving automatically rather than collected by hand
A reporting rhythm that holds through difficult weeks
Travel, events and environments running without questions being raised
Nutrition, training and treatments running to schedule without the CEO's involvement
Payroll, vendor contracts and spend accurate and reviewed on time
You'll Work Closely With
The CEO
The executive team, on meeting preparation and follow-through
The travel assistant, house manager, driver and handyman — and the office manager you'll hire
Household and office vendors
Finance, on corporate cards and payroll
What Makes Someone Successful
The strongest people in this role:
Care about the outcome itself rather than how it looks — surface work passes a checklist and falls apart when someone opens the hood.
Build the system instead of carrying it personally, so that what they set up survives them.
Decide and report, rather than handing the decision back.
Execute a direction they disagree with, and raise the disagreement where it belongs.
Hold a large number of small details without being overwhelmed by the volume arriving.
Location and Travel
Parkland, Florida
- four days a week in the office, one remote, with the judgement to be on site more when the situation requires it. We're open to candidates outside Florida who are willing to relocate, and relocation is covered in full. Occasional travel with the CEO, principally to Barcelona around quarterly business reviews.
We are a group of different but like-minded people who are inspired by a common goal and love what they do.
With an outstanding product and a mission that excites and inspires, Appodeal offers a unique opportunity to make an impact while being part of an amazing team.

Position Overview
The Assistant Controller owns the day-to-day accounting operations of the organization — financial reporting, the general ledger, technical accounting compliance, and the accounting team. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who closes the books accurately and on time, and who then goes further: interrogating the data, automating the manual work, and turning financial results into insight the business can act on.
We are looking for a modern accountant. Beyond mastery of GAAP and the close, the successful candidate is genuinely strong in data analysis and has practical experience applying AI and automation tools to accounting workflows. As routine transaction processing becomes increasingly automated, this role is expected to shift toward reviewing automated output, investigating anomalies, strengthening controls, and advising business partners. The role also carries public-company readiness responsibilities, including SOX-aligned internal controls and audit readiness.
Key Responsibilities
1. Financial Reporting
Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, including supporting schedules and management commentary.
Ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and applicable financial reporting standards.
Manage consolidation of financial data across multiple entities, including intercompany eliminations and foreign currency translation.
Support the preparation of reporting packages for executive leadership, the board, lenders, and investors.
2. General Ledger and Month-End Close
Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close calendar, driving accuracy, completeness, and a shortening close cycle.
Review and approve journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and adjustments.
Maintain the chart of accounts and accounting policy documentation.
Track and report close-cycle metrics, and set measurable targets for reducing days-to-close.
3. Technical Accounting
Research and document positions on technical accounting matters; prepare accounting memos supporting significant judgments.
Apply revenue recognition (ASC 606), leases (ASC 842), and equity compensation (ASC 718) standards as applicable.
Monitor new and emerging accounting pronouncements and assess their impact on the organization.
4. Budgeting, Forecasting, and Analysis
Partner with FP&A and business leaders to develop budgets and forecasts.
Monitor actual results against budget and prior periods; investigate, quantify, and clearly explain variances.
Build and maintain analytical models and dashboards that give leadership timely visibility into financial performance.
5. Compliance, Internal Controls, and Audit
Design, document, and maintain internal controls over financial reporting to safeguard company assets.
Build and operate SOX-aligned control frameworks in support of public-company readiness; own control narratives, risk and control matrices, and testing remediation.
Coordinate external audits and reviews: prepare PBC schedules, manage the request list, and respond to auditor inquiries.
Maintain audit-ready documentation standards and evidence retention throughout the year, not only at year-end.
6. Data Analysis, Systems, and AI
Use data analysis to test the integrity of financial data at scale — full-population testing, anomaly detection, trend and ratio analysis — rather than relying on sampling alone.
Apply AI and automation tools to accounting workflows: reconciliation matching, transaction classification, flux analysis, document extraction, and close-task automation. Critically review AI-generated output and remain accountable for its accuracy.
Build and maintain reporting in BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and advanced Excel; query source data directly where needed (SQL or equivalent).
Own the accounting system of record (NetSuite), including configuration, integrations, and data hygiene; partner with IT and RevOps on system upgrades and implementations.
Establish sound governance for AI use in accounting — data privacy, auditability, human review, and documentation of how automated outputs are validated.
7. Team Leadership
Supervise, mentor, and develop accounting staff; set clear expectations and provide regular, direct feedback.
Manage team performance, conduct evaluations, and build a bench through training and stretch assignments.
Build a team culture that is curious about the numbers and comfortable with new tools.
8. Process Improvement
Identify and eliminate manual, low-value work; implement scalable accounting processes and best practices.
Lead automation projects end to end — from identifying the opportunity through design, testing, rollout, and measurement of results.
Document processes so that they are repeatable, transferable, and auditable.
9. Tax and Regulatory Filings
Oversee the preparation and submission of tax filings (income, sales and use, property) in coordination with external tax advisors.
Ensure compliance with reporting requirements including 1099s, payroll taxes, and multi-state and international registrations.
10. Ad Hoc Projects
Support strategic initiatives including M&A due diligence and integration, financing events, system upgrades, and special analyses.
Qualifications and Skills
Education and Experience
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CPA required (or active candidate); public accounting experience strongly preferred.
Minimum of 7-10 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or management role.
Experience in a multi-entity and multi-currency environment.
Exposure to SOX, public-company reporting, or IPO/audit-readiness work is a strong plus.
Technical Skills
Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting standards.
Proficiency in NetSuite (or a comparable enterprise ERP such as SAP, Oracle, or Workday) and advanced Excel, including complex models, pivot tables, Power Query, and large-dataset work.
Strong data analysis capability
— able to pull, join, validate, and interrogate large financial datasets, identify anomalies and root causes, and present findings clearly to non-finance audiences. Working knowledge of SQL and/or a BI tool (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) expected; Python or R a plus.
Demonstrated AI experience
— practical, hands-on use of AI or machine-learning tools in a finance or accounting context, such as automating reconciliations and close tasks, AI-assisted document and invoice processing, anomaly and fraud detection, or AI-supported research and drafting. Should be able to describe specific workflows they have improved, the results delivered, and how they validated the output.
Familiarity with close-management, reconciliation, or AP/AR automation platforms (e.g., FloQast, BlackLine, Bill.com, Ramp, Avalara) is a plus.
Key Competencies
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the judgment to know when a number is wrong before anyone else does.
Intellectual curiosity and a bias toward automating repetitive work rather than absorbing it.
Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and hard deadlines.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain financial results and technical positions to non-finance stakeholders.
High ownership and integrity; comfortable operating with limited direction in a fast-moving environment.
Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and inspire a team.
With an outstanding product and a mission that excites and inspires, Appodeal offers a unique opportunity to make an impact while being part of an amazing team.

Ownership and Accountability:
We work in small squads so each team owns its result end to end and has the freedom to get there. Go deep in your craft and wide enough to own the whole outcome. Escalate blockers early, admit mistakes, fix the damage and learn.
About the role
Our gaming business builds and scales a portfolio of casual, ad-monetized evergreen games (cards, words, puzzles, board games) from Barcelona. We’re rebuilding it as an
AI-native team
: instead of departments and management layers, we work in small squads, and each squad runs like a small studio that owns 1–3 games end to end: product, UA and monetization together. The reporting, coordination and analysis that used to need middle managers are handled by shared data and LTV models, AI agents and automation.
The model follows
"From Hierarchy to Intelligence"
by Jack Dorsey (Block) and Roelof Botha (Sequoia Capital), and uses a few simple roles:
Builder (IC):
everyone builds.
DRI (Directly Responsible Individual):
owns one result end to end, has real authority over the squad’s effort and picks the team. It’s a role, not a rank.
Player-coach:
sets the standard of a discipline for all squads and makes their expertise easy to reach. A coach is accountable for the standard and for being available, not for other people’s numbers or growth.
Advisor:
brings outside expertise without owning a result.
This seat is the player-coach for ad monetization, filled as an advisor.
It’s an advisory engagement, not employment: part-time, fully remote, with scope and hours agreed together. You won’t own a squad, a team or a revenue number. The squad DRIs own their results, and you raise the monetization craft they work with.
Why this seat exists:
Monetization is set up game by game, by people with very different backgrounds, and on the same users our titles still earn less than the best competitor in each genre. We want senior, market-calibrated monetization standards and a person every squad can consult and learn from.
Responsibilities:
Set and keep the ad monetization standards every squad works to.
Review and challenge the squads’ roadmaps from a monetization angle against the best casual evergreen titles, and bring in mechanics we haven’t tested.
Make expertise easy to reach: regular office hours with squad DRIs and builders, config and experiment reviews, and written playbooks with real examples.
Where it helps, open doors to ad networks, DSPs and exchanges relevant to casual gaming.
Speak up when a standard isn’t followed.
What this role is not:
Not a head of a monetization department and not a manager: no direct reports and no team to build.
Not accountable for squad or portfolio profit, and not asked to commit to it: each squad’s DRI owns their result. You’re accountable for the standards and for being available in the agreed hours.
Requirements:
Proven, hands-on experience leading monetization for casual, ad-monetized mobile games (cards, words, board, puzzle or similar evergreen genres). General ad-tech, mediation sales or IAP/midcore monetization backgrounds on their own aren’t enough.
A track record of building a fast, rigorous experimentation culture (A/B tests, waterfall optimization, segment-level configs) with measurable business impact.
Deep ad-tech knowledge: mediation (MAX, AdMob, in-house), bidding, waterfalls, floors and ad quality.
Strong existing relationships with ad networks, DSPs and exchanges in casual gaming.
Comfortable working from shared data and LTV models, with AI agents and automation, rather than through an analytics team.
You can explain standards so that DRIs and builders from other disciplines can apply them.
Format:
Advisory, part-time, fully remote, with no office visits.
Scope, hours and terms agreed together.
A good fit if you’re not looking for a full-time move but want to share what you know.
Why Join Us?
You’ll shape how a whole portfolio of games makes money, without a full-time commitment.
Your advice goes straight into live games, and you’ll see the results.
You’ll work with squads that want to learn and move fast.

We work in small squads so each team owns its result end to end and has the freedom to get there. Go deep in your craft and wide enough to own the whole outcome. Escalate blockers early, admit mistakes, fix the damage and learn.
About the role
Our gaming business builds and scales a portfolio of casual, ad-monetized evergreen games (cards, words, puzzles, board games) from Barcelona. We’re rebuilding it as an
AI-native team
: instead of departments and management layers, we work in small squads, and each squad runs like a small studio that owns 1–3 games end to end: product, UA and monetization together. The reporting, coordination and analysis that used to need middle managers are handled by shared data and LTV models, AI agents and automation.
The model follows
"From Hierarchy to Intelligence"
by Jack Dorsey (Block) and Roelof Botha (Sequoia Capital), and uses a few simple roles:
Builder (IC):
everyone builds.
DRI (Directly Responsible Individual):
owns one result end to end, has real authority over the squad’s effort and picks the team. It’s a role, not a rank.
Player-coach:
sets the standard of a discipline for all squads and makes their expertise easy to reach. A coach is accountable for the standard and for being available, not for other people’s numbers or growth.
Advisor:
brings outside expertise without owning a result.
There’s no UA department in this model: UA specialists sit inside the squads and work with their squad’s DRI. What we need is senior UA judgment available to every squad and one clear UA standard across the portfolio. Eleven of our games run active UA, and UA is the biggest lever on our profit and growth today.
We’ll fill this seat in one of two ways:
In-house (Head of UA):
builder and UA Coach. Full-time in Barcelona, 4 days a week in the office. You run UA hands-on for 1–3 games inside one squad and set the UA standard for all squads.
Advisor (UA Coach):
not employment. You set and keep the UA standard and make UA expertise easy to reach for every squad. Scope and hours are agreed together.
Responsibilities:
As UA Coach (both formats):
Set and keep the UA playbook every squad works to: channel mix, bidding and budget rules, ROAS discipline and when to kill a campaign.
Own the creative testing framework, measurement and incrementality, and how we test new networks and DSPs.
Make UA expertise easy to reach: regular office hours with squad DRIs and UA specialists, campaign and creative reviews, written playbooks and worked examples, and introductions in the market where they help.
Speak up when a standard isn’t followed.
In-house, hands-on in one squad:
Run and optimize UA for 1–3 games yourself, as the reference for how UA is done here.
Turn data from our shared LTV and profit models into growth decisions, without a dedicated analyst.
Build agents and automation that take over UA work: bidding, reporting and creative production.
What this role is not:
Not a head of a UA department: there’s no team to manage. UA specialists report to their squad’s DRI.
Not accountable for squad or portfolio numbers: each squad’s DRI owns their result. You’re accountable for the UA standard and for being available.
Requirements:
7+ years in mobile user acquisition or growth marketing, including leadership roles, in ad-monetized casual evergreen games.
Hands-on experience running and optimizing campaigns across AppLovin, Meta, Google, DSPs and CPI networks.
You’ve scaled mobile games through performance marketing and kept them profitable.
Strong creative-driven UA: you’ve built a creative testing framework and know how to read its results.
Strong analytical mindset: you turn data from shared analytics and LTV models into growth decisions and are comfortable without in-house analysts.
AI-native: agents or automation you built that took over UA work (bidding, reporting, creative production), not only tools built by others.
You work both at the strategic level and in day-to-day execution, and can explain a standard so that people outside UA can apply it.
For the in-house format: ready to relocate to Barcelona and work from our office 4 days a week.
Nice to Haves:
Experience scaling games to the top-grossing charts.
