1What this role really is

This isn't just about running campaigns; it's about owning the entire mobile growth engine. You'll be the one setting the vision for how we acquire, activate, and keep our app users, making sure we're hitting those crucial LTV targets. Essentially, you're the go-to person for anything to do with getting people into our app and making them stick around. You'll lead a small team, guide their work, and make sure our mobile strategy fits into the bigger picture of what the company's trying to achieve. It's a big job, but a rewarding one if you love seeing your strategies come to life and make a real impact on the business.

2What you'd actually use

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

AppsFlyer / Adjust / Branch (MMP)Strategic/Architect

Designing the enterprise-wide attribution strategy, leading MMP vendor selection, and integrating MMP data with our broader data warehouse. You'll be the ultimate authority on attribution.

Braze / CleverTap / Leanplum (CEP)Strategic/Architect

Architecting the overall mobile lifecycle strategy, defining the data schema for personalisation, and governing global messaging cadence and pressure rules across all channels. You'll ensure we're not over-messaging.

AppTweak / Sensor Tower (ASO)Advanced

Owning the global ASO strategy, tying ASO efforts directly to revenue goals, and making budget decisions on ASO tooling and resources. You'll guide your team on daily optimisation but set the direction.

Mixpanel / Amplitude (Product & Mobile Analytics)Strategic/Architect

Defining the core event taxonomy with the Product team, championing a data-driven culture, and using insights from these platforms to influence the product roadmap and overall business strategy.

Jira / Asana / Slack (Project Management & Collab)Advanced

Managing the entire growth marketing roadmap, prioritising initiatives based on projected impact, and communicating strategy to leadership and cross-functional partners. You'll ensure the team's work is aligned and visible.

Looker / Tableau (Data Visualization & Reporting)Advanced

Working with data engineering to define data models for marketing, and building executive-level dashboards that tie mobile metrics directly to the company P&L. You'll be presenting these to senior leaders.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) Growth

The average revenue generated by a mobile app user over their entire relationship with us.

Target · Increase LTV by 25% year-on-year for new cohorts.

If the Q1 2024 cohort's 12-month LTV was £50, we'd expect the Q1 2025 cohort's 12-month LTV to be at least £62.50.

Mobile-Attributed Revenue Contribution

The percentage of total company revenue directly attributed to mobile app users, based on your team's acquisition and engagement efforts.

Target · Contribute to 40% of total company revenue.

If total company revenue is £5M for the month, £2M should be directly linked to mobile app user activity that your team influenced.

Paid User Acquisition (UA) Payback Period

The time it takes for the revenue generated by a newly acquired paid user to cover their acquisition cost.

Target · Achieve a 6-month payback period for 80% of paid UA spend.

If we spent £10 on acquiring a user, we expect to earn at least £10 back from that user within 6 months. We'll track this across all major ad channels.

Team Performance & Development

The growth and progression of your direct reports within the mobile marketing team.

Target · Promote 2+ team members annually to the next level (e.g., L2 to L3).

Two of your Mobile Marketing Specialists move into Senior Mobile Marketing Specialist roles within a 12-month period, demonstrating their increased capability and impact under your guidance.

Strategic Influence & Roadmap Impact

How effectively you influence the broader product and marketing roadmap with mobile-first insights and requirements.

You're regularly invited to product strategy meetings, your team's data insights are directly shaping new app features, and you're seen as the authority on mobile user behaviour. Product managers come to you for input before finalising their plans, not after.

Team Leadership & Morale

Your ability to inspire, guide, and retain your team, fostering a positive and productive work environment.

Your team members report high job satisfaction, feel supported in their development, and consistently hit their individual goals. There's low voluntary attrition, and people actively seek to join your team. You're known for giving clear direction and constructive feedback.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

The effectiveness of your working relationships with other departments, ensuring smooth execution and shared understanding.

Product, Engineering, and Data Science teams consistently praise your team's clear communication and proactive problem-solving. Projects involving multiple teams run smoothly, and disagreements are resolved constructively. You're seen as a bridge-builder, not a silo-creator.

Innovation & Adaptability

Your capacity to identify new mobile marketing opportunities, adapt to industry changes, and implement novel strategies.

You're regularly bringing new ideas to the table (e.g., new ad formats, privacy-centric measurement approaches, emerging channels). Your team is quick to test and learn from new technologies or market shifts, and you're seen as someone who keeps us ahead of the curve, not just reacting to it.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Driving Tangible Business Growth

You'll get a real kick out of seeing your strategies directly translate into more app installs, higher engagement rates, and ultimately, increased revenue. The weekly performance reports aren't just numbers to you; they're proof your work is making a difference.

Seeing the LTV of a new user cohort increase by 10% after implementing a new onboarding journey you designed.

Building and Mentoring a High-Performing Team

You love helping people grow. You'll spend a good chunk of your week coaching your team, helping them overcome challenges, and celebrating their individual wins. Seeing a junior specialist you've mentored take on a more complex project and nail it will be a huge source of satisfaction.

One of your direct reports gets promoted to Senior Mobile Marketing Specialist thanks to your guidance and development plan.

Solving Complex, Evolving Challenges

The mobile marketing landscape is never static. You'll be energised by figuring out how to navigate new privacy regulations (like SKAN 4.0), optimising performance on new ad channels, or cracking the code on a tricky user retention problem. You thrive on intellectual puzzles.

Successfully developing and implementing a new attribution strategy that gives us better visibility into campaign performance post-IDFA deprecation.

What frustrates people

The SKAdNetwork Black Box: Trying to optimise campaigns with delayed, aggregated, and limited data from Apple feels like flying blind, and you'll spend a lot of time trying to make sense of it.
SDK Implementation Gridlock: Your entire strategy might be on hold for three sprints because the engineering team is too busy to implement or update the analytics SDK, and you'll need to manage those expectations.
Data Discrepancies: Spending hours trying to reconcile why the numbers in AppsFlyer, Mixpanel, and the internal data warehouse never perfectly match is a regular occurrence, and you'll be the one leading the charge to figure it out.
The Product/Marketing Divide: You'll often find yourself fighting for product changes that would improve activation or retention, but being told it's 'not on the roadmap' – you'll need to be persistent and persuasive.

What this role does not give you

A purely individual contributor role: You'll be managing people, which means less hands-on execution and more strategic oversight and coaching.
A static, predictable environment: The mobile ecosystem is constantly changing, so if you prefer routine and dislike adapting to new challenges, this won't be for you.
Guaranteed immediate results: Mobile growth is a long game, and some initiatives will fail. You need to be comfortable with experimentation and learning from setbacks.

6Who you work with

This role is absolutely critical for our app's success. You'll be directly responsible for the growth and health of our mobile user base, which is a significant revenue driver for the business. Your decisions on budget allocation, campaign strategy, and team development will have a tangible impact on our P&L, customer satisfaction, and overall market position. Get it right, and we're celebrated. Get it wrong, and it's a tough conversation with the execs.

Inside the business

Product Management (especially App Product Owners)
Data Science & Analytics team
Engineering (for SDK integrations and feature flags)
Brand & Creative team
Finance (for budget reviews and ROAS reporting)

Outside the business

Mobile Measurement Partners (e.g., AppsFlyer, Adjust)
Ad Network Representatives (e.g., Google, Meta, Apple Search Ads)
App Store representatives (Apple App Store, Google Play Store)
Creative Agencies (for ad asset development)

7What you need before you start

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

At least 5-8 years of hands-on experience specifically in mobile marketing, with a proven track record of driving significant app growth and LTV.
Demonstrable experience leading and mentoring a small team of marketing specialists (even if informally).
Expert-level proficiency with at least one major MMP (e.g., AppsFlyer, Adjust) and one major CEP (e.g., Braze, CleverTap).
A strong analytical mindset, with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into actionable strategies.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, capable of influencing senior stakeholders and external partners.

8What to practise next

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

Data Architecture & Integration for Mobile

As we collect more data from various sources (MMP, CEP, product analytics, CRM), integrating it into a cohesive, usable data warehouse becomes critical. You'll need to understand how these systems talk to each other to ensure accurate reporting and advanced analytics. If our data's siloed, our insights are limited.

ETL/ELT processes for mobile data · Data schema design for marketing analytics · API integrations between platforms (e.g., MMP to i · Data governance and quality for mobile events · Understanding cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowfla

This quarter: Schedule regular syncs with the Data Engineering team to understand our current data architecture.
Next quarter: Map out the ideal data flow for mobile marketing, identifying gaps and proposing solutions.
Month 6: Lead a project to improve data quality for a key mobile marketing metric, working with Engineering.
Month 9: Evaluate new data integration tools or approaches that could streamline our mobile data pipelines.

Quick win: Familiarise yourself with the basic SQL queries your team uses. It'll help you understand how data is pulled and transformed.

Mobile Product Marketing & Feature Adoption

The line between marketing and product is blurring. As a Mobile Marketing Manager, you'll increasingly be involved in driving adoption of new app features and influencing the product roadmap. This means understanding user experience, product-led growth, and how to market within the app itself.

Product-led growth (PLG) principles · User onboarding flows and activation funnels · In-app messaging and feature discovery strategies · A/B testing for in-app experiences · Understanding app store review cycles and release

This quarter: Shadow a Product Manager for a week to understand their process and challenges.
Next quarter: Propose and lead an in-app messaging campaign to drive adoption for a specific new feature.
Month 6: Work with Product to design an A/B test for a new user onboarding flow, focusing on marketing's role.
Month 9: Develop a 'product marketing playbook' for your team, outlining how they'll collaborate with Product on launches.

Quick win: Start regularly reviewing user feedback in app store reviews and support tickets. It'll give you direct insight into user pain points and feature requests.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend industry conferences (e.g., Mobile Marketing Summit, App Growth Summit) to stay abreast of trends and network.
Subscribe to leading mobile marketing publications and newsletters (e.g., MobileDevMemo, Branch Blog) to keep your finger on the pulse.
Actively participate in online communities or forums dedicated to mobile growth and app marketing to share knowledge and learn from peers.
Seek out mentorship from senior leaders in product or data science to broaden your strategic perspective beyond pure marketing.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Advanced AI-Driven Personalisation & Predictive Marketing

The ability of AI to analyse vast datasets and predict user behaviour is rapidly advancing. Competitors are already using this to deliver hyper-personalised experiences and pre-empt churn. If we don't adopt, we'll be left behind, delivering generic messages while others are reading their users' minds.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Mobile Marketing Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine having more time to focus on strategic thinking, team development, and truly innovative campaigns. AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to be your co-pilot, taking the grunt work off your plate so you can focus on what really matters: driving impactful mobile growth.

As a Mobile Marketing Manager, you're juggling strategy, team leadership, budget management, and campaign oversight. The reality is, a lot of that involves repetitive tasks, data synthesis, and content generation. Our AI Productivity Hub shows you exactly how AI can free up your time, making your day-to-day more efficient and your team more effective. Think of it as having an army of interns who never sleep.

AI-Powered Copy & Creative Brainstormer

Use generative AI to quickly produce multiple variations of push notification copy, in-app messages, and even initial ad creative concepts. Provide a brief, and it'll give you diverse options to test, saving your team hours on ideation and drafting. You'll spend your time refining, not starting from scratch.

Predictive Churn & LTV Modeller

Integrate AI models that analyse user behaviour to predict which users are most likely to churn or have the highest LTV. This means your team can proactively target at-risk users with tailored re-engagement campaigns or identify high-value segments for VIP treatment, all before you manually spot a trend.

Automated ASO Competitive Analysis

Set up AI tools to continuously monitor competitor app store listings—icons, screenshots, descriptions, and keyword strategies. Get automated alerts on significant changes and insights into their performance, giving your team a constant edge without endless manual checks. It's like having a dedicated spy.

Intelligent Campaign Performance Summaries

Feed raw campaign data (spend, installs, ROAS, retention) into an AI tool and instruct it to generate concise, executive-level summaries. It'll highlight key trends, anomalies, and actionable insights for your weekly stakeholder updates, freeing you from tedious report writing and letting you focus on the 'why' and 'what next'.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Mobile Marketing Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 1 national skill standard. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Mobile Marketing Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.
