What we're looking for

  • 5–7+ years in mobile performance marketing 
  • Strong hands-on media buying experience 
  • Deep campaign management expertise 
  • Experience across DSPs and app networks 
  • Strong analytical mindset 
  • Structured under pressure 
  • Commercially aware 
  • Hungry to build something 

You still like being inside platforms.

But you also want more ownership.

The role

We are not looking for a campaign operator.

We are looking for someone who knows how to scale app growth — and wants to build something meaningful.

Appiness is an AI-powered App Growth Partner turning app users into shoppers.

We don’t optimize for cheap installs.

We optimize for incremental post-install value.

Now we are hiring the person who will help build and scale our Media Buying capability together with our Head of Supply. 

This role starts deeply hands-on.

Shortly, you will evolve into Media Buying Lead and build the team around you.

Media Buying is one of the operational cores of Appiness.

Your decisions directly impact: Performance quality | Margin | Scalability | Client retention | Growth stability 

This is not a traffic buying role. It is the foundation of a scalable app growth engine.

If you’re ready to scale campaigns, build systems and grow into leadership — let’s talk.

As part of Tradedoubler Group, Appiness is a truly global force, with offices across 10+ countries. Our team? Diverse, creative, and endlessly collaborative—bringing together brilliant minds from all over the world to shape the future of digital growth.

Build and run high-performance media buying across differentiated traffic ecosystems that:

  • Scale profitable app growth 
  • Turn new SSP/DSP partnerships into scalable performance 
  • Protect incrementality and margin 
  • Create repeatable buying systems 
  • Build the foundation of a future elite Media Buying team 

You will work at the center of:

  • Supply strategy 
  • Campaign execution 
  • Scaling logic 
  • Performance optimization 

This is a hands-on builder role.

Own Media Buying & Campaign Management

You will work directly inside platforms and manage campaigns across:

  • AppLovin/ ironSource / Unity/ Liftoff/ Moloco/ InMobi/ Mintegral/ Chartboost/ AdColony/ Fyber/ Additional DSP ecosystems

  • Bidding strategies

You know how to scale campaigns without destroying efficiency.

You know when scale is real — and when it is fake.

Turn New Supply Into Scalable Performance

Our Head of Supply will bring new SSPs, DSPs and differentiated traffic opportunities into the company.

Your job is to make them work.

You will:

  • Launch and optimize campaigns across new traffic sources 
  • Structure testing frameworks 
  • Validate traffic quality 
  • Identify scalable opportunities 
  • Build repeatable optimization logic 
  • Turn testing into scalable growth 

You are the bridge between:

  • SKAN complexity 
  • Event-based optimization 
  • Cohort & LTV analysis

Not vanity scale.
