* Deep understanding of the UA lifecycle, especially in mobile gaming or performance-based apps.
* Strong network of decision-makers (UA / Creative Leads, Growth Managers) in mobile publishing studios and / or non-gaming verticals.
Mindset & Skills

* Data-savvy and commercially strategic—able to lead with value in product-led conversations.
* Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and iteration-heavy environments.
* Collaborative team player; able to work closely with technical founders and influence roadmap decisions.
6-Month Objectives
* Close 6–8 key accounts within target verticals.
* Establish foundational GTM metrics and tracking systems.
* Hire 1–2 early BD or account management teammates by end of Q2.
