4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

AppsFlyer (or Adjust, Branch) Basic

Pulling standard reports, verifying basic event tracking, checking campaign performance metrics like installs and clicks.

Braze (or CleverTap, Leanplum) Basic

Setting up and scheduling single-channel campaigns (push, in-app) using existing templates, segmenting users based on pre-defined criteria, QAing messages.

AppTweak (or Sensor Tower) Basic

Conducting basic keyword research, tracking keyword rankings for our app and competitors, monitoring competitor app store creatives.

Mixpanel (or Amplitude) Basic

Navigating pre-built dashboards, viewing basic funnels, tracking top-level metrics like Daily Active Users (DAU) and Monthly Active Users (MAU).

Jira & Asana (or similar PM tools) Intermediate

Updating task tickets, following campaign checklists, tracking progress on your assigned responsibilities, communicating status updates.

Google Sheets / Microsoft Excel Intermediate

Organising data from reports, basic formatting, using simple formulas (SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT) to summarise information.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Campaign Launch/Changes	No independent authority. Must get full approval from Mobile Marketing Specialist for any campaign launch or modification.	N/A (covered in L2 JD)	N/A (covered in L3 JD)
Tool/Platform Usage	Use tools (e.g., Braze, AppsFlyer) as instructed. No authority to change configurations or integrate new features without manager approval.	N/A (covered in L2 JD)	N/A (covered in L3 JD)
Problem Solving	Identify issues and escalate to Mobile Marketing Specialist. You'll help gather information, but won't be expected to solve complex problems independently.	N/A (covered in L2 JD)	N/A (covered in L3 JD)
Prioritisation of Tasks	Manager will set daily/weekly priorities. You can suggest a more efficient order for your own tasks but should follow the overall direction.	N/A (covered in L2 JD)	N/A (covered in L3 JD)

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Campaign Setup Accuracy

The percentage of campaigns you set up (e.g., push notifications, in-app messages) that launch without any errors or required corrections.

Target · 98%+

You set up 10 push notification campaigns this week. One had a wrong segment applied, so your accuracy is 90%. We're aiming for near-perfect here.

Report Delivery Punctuality

The proportion of scheduled daily/weekly reports that are pulled, checked, and shared with the team on time.

Target · 100%

You're responsible for the Monday morning app store performance report. If it's in the team's inbox by 9 am every Monday, you're hitting the target.

App Store Listing QA Completion

The percentage of required quality assurance checks you complete on app store listings (e.g., screenshots, descriptions, keywords) before an update goes live.

Target · 100%

Before the new app version launches, you've checked all 15 items on the ASO QA checklist for both iOS and Android. That's 100%.

Push Notification Send Rate

Ensuring push notifications are sent to the correct audience segment without technical errors, measured by the percentage of intended recipients who actually receive the message.

Target · 99%+

A push campaign was meant to go to 100,000 users. If the CEP reports only 98,000 received it, we'd want to understand why and fix it.

Proactive Learning & Initiative

How quickly you pick up new tools and processes, and whether you ask clarifying questions or suggest improvements, even small ones.

You're asking 'how does this work?' rather than just doing it. You've taught yourself a new feature in AppsFlyer. You've spotted a recurring issue and suggested a better way to do something, even if it's just a new checklist item.

Team Support & Reliability

Your ability to consistently deliver on assigned tasks, communicate progress clearly, and be a dependable pair of hands for the Mobile Marketing Specialist.

The Mobile Marketing Specialist trusts you with routine tasks without needing to constantly check in. You flag issues before they become problems. You're always on time for team stand-ups and have your updates ready.

Attention to Detail in Copy/Creative

How well you proofread and quality-check campaign assets (text, images, links) to catch errors before they go live.

You've spotted a typo in a push notification before it was sent. You've caught a broken deep link in an in-app message. You've noticed an image is the wrong size for a particular app store listing.

Understanding of Mobile Marketing Basics

Your growing comprehension of key mobile marketing concepts like attribution, segmentation, and app store optimisation.

You can explain what a 'deep link' is and why it matters. You understand the difference between an install and an in-app purchase. You're starting to use insider terms like 'SKAN' correctly in team discussions.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Seeing Your Work Go Live

You get a real kick out of knowing that a push notification you scheduled has just gone out to thousands of people, or that the app store description you updated is now visible globally.

You've just hit 'send' on a campaign, and a few minutes later, you see it pop up on your own phone. That's a tangible win.

Learning New Tech & Tools

You enjoy diving into new platforms like AppsFlyer or Braze, figuring out how they work, and becoming proficient in them. The idea of mastering a new piece of software is exciting.

You've spent an afternoon playing around in the ASO tool, discovering a new way to track competitor keywords, and sharing it with the team.

Contributing to a Tangible Goal

You like knowing that your careful campaign setup or accurate reporting directly contributes to getting more users for our app, even if it's just one piece of the puzzle.

You've pulled the weekly report, and you can clearly see that the app store conversion rate has gone up slightly, knowing your ASO checks played a part.

What frustrates people

Spending ages setting up a campaign only for the copy or creative to change at the last minute, meaning you have to re-do it.
Dealing with data discrepancies between different platforms (e.g., AppsFlyer vs. internal analytics) that never quite match up.
Waiting on other teams (like Creative or Product) for assets or approvals, which can hold up your work.
The sheer volume of small, fiddly tasks that need to be done perfectly, every single time.
Being asked to pull 'quick' reports that actually take a long time because the data isn't perfectly clean.

What this role does not give you

High-level strategic decision-making (that comes later).
Full ownership of major marketing budgets.
A role where you're constantly inventing new processes from scratch.
A quiet, predictable environment with no urgent requests.

8Who you work with

This role underpins the smooth execution of our mobile marketing efforts. Getting the small things right here means our larger campaigns can succeed, directly impacting app downloads, user engagement, and ultimately, revenue. You're making sure the engine runs, even if you're not designing the car.

Inside the business

Mobile Marketing Specialist (your direct manager)
Product Marketing team (for campaign assets)
Creative team (for images and videos)
Data & Analytics team (for basic reporting support)

Outside the business

Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP) support teams
App Store Connect/Google Play Console support

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

A genuine interest in mobile technology and apps – you're probably someone who uses a lot of apps and wonders how they work.
Some experience (even academic or voluntary) with data entry, reporting, or using digital tools for marketing or similar tasks.
Demonstrable organisational skills, perhaps from managing projects at university, organising events, or a previous role.
Good written and verbal communication skills in English. You'll be writing messages and talking to the team a lot.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Deeper Understanding of Mobile Measurement Partners (MMPs)

You'll move from pulling standard reports to understanding how attribution models work, what a postback is, and how SKAN impacts our data. This knowledge is crucial for troubleshooting and getting accurate campaign insights.

Attribution Windows · Postbacks · SKAN Conversion Values · Deep Linking Mechanics

This week: Read the basic documentation for AppsFlyer's attribution models.
This month: Ask the Mobile Marketing Specialist to walk you through a postback configuration.
Month 2: Try to troubleshoot a simple deep link issue with guidance from the team.
Month 3: Take an online course or webinar on SKAdNetwork basics.

Quick win: When you're pulling reports, start paying attention to the different attribution windows and ask your manager why certain ones are used.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly read industry blogs and newsletters (e.g., Mobile Marketing Magazine, App Annie, Branch blog) to stay on top of trends.
Attend free webinars or online courses on mobile marketing basics, ASO, or app analytics.
Experiment with different apps and analyse their marketing strategies (what push notifications do they send? How do they onboard you?).
Network with other junior marketers, even if it's just on LinkedIn, to share ideas and learn from each other.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, some parts of mobile marketing can be a bit repetitive. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to AI? We're embracing AI to make our team more efficient, giving you more time to focus on the interesting stuff – like learning and optimising.

In this role, you'll be using AI tools to help with everything from drafting campaign copy to spotting trends in app store data. It's not about replacing your job; it's about making your job easier and letting you achieve more. Think of AI as your super-smart assistant, handling the tedious bits so you can get to the good stuff faster.

Push Notification Copywriter

Use generative AI to quickly create 5-10 different versions of push notification messages for A/B testing. You'll feed it the goal (e.g., 'drive users to new feature') and key points, and it'll spit out options in seconds. This saves you loads of time brainstorming and drafting from scratch.

ASO Competitive Intelligence Scout

Imagine an AI tool that constantly watches what our competitors are doing in the app stores – new icons, updated screenshots, keyword changes. It'll automatically flag these to you, so you don't have to manually check every day. This means you're always in the know without the manual grind.

Campaign Performance Summariser

Instead of spending ages trying to summarise raw campaign data (spend, installs, retention) into a coherent paragraph for your manager, you can feed it into an AI tool. It'll generate a concise summary, highlighting key trends and insights, ready for your review and tweaking. It's a massive time-saver for reporting.

Basic Data Cleaning Assistant

Sometimes, the data you pull isn't perfectly clean. AI can help spot inconsistencies or suggest ways to format data for easier analysis. While you'll still need to verify, it can significantly speed up the initial 'tidying up' phase of your reports.
