Join The Team!

Kwalee’s Product & Growth team is looking for a Senior User Acquisition Manager to steer User Acquisition across our mobile portfolio: live hits, much-loved classics, and exciting new games looking for their big break.

We’ll shape the title around your experience, from Senior UA Manager to Lead UA Manager or even Head of UA, because it’s the impact that matters.

This role is for you if you’re a hands-on UA leader who gets a real buzz from spotting where the next profitable pound of spend is hiding, and proving it. You’ll grow a team of UA Managers who proudly own their games, and bring an investor’s eye to the whole portfolio so every game and every campaign earns its place in the spotlight.

This role is based on-site 5 days per week at our Leamington Spa studio, where our daily in-office collaboration fuels creativity and innovation.

What You’ll Do:

  • Steer portfolio UA. Set the UA strategy across our games and channels, and put every pound where it works hardest.
  • Grow a brilliant team. Lead and coach our UA Managers, give each of them clear ownership of their games, and help them do the best work of their careers.
  • Unlock profitable scale. Find the games ready to grow faster, and move quickly when something isn’t paying back.
  • Keep targets sharp. Work with our analytics team on LTV and ROAS targets, and bring a healthy challenge when the numbers don’t add up.
  • Power the creative engine. Partner with our creative and analytics teams so every game has a steady flow of fresh ads being tested, learned from, and scaled.
  • Give new games a fair shot. Run clean, consistent market tests for our new game ideas so we can spot the winners early.
  • Be the UA voice in our game teams. Share what the market is telling us with producers, product, and monetisation, and turn game improvements into more growth.
  • Build great partnerships. Work closely with ad networks and platforms, and keep exploring new channels

What You’ll Own:

    Profitable growth across our portfolio. You’ll be the go-to owner of how our games grow: spotting opportunities first, catching dips early, keeping targets sharp, and helping your team stay on top of every game they own.

    How we’ll celebrate your success:
  • Profitable spend and installs at or above target payback
  • ROAS and payback against target
  • UA contribution to profit across the portfolio
  • How quickly budget moves to the best opportunities
  • A happy, growing UA team

What We’re Looking For:

    Essential
  • Senior UA experience in mobile games, with F2P titles you’ve scaled profitably across ad networks and social channels.
  • Experience leading or mentoring UA Managers.
  • A strong grasp of ROAS, payback, LTV and cohort analysis, and of measurement in today’s privacy- first world.
  • A love of creative testing, and a feel for what makes an ad win on different channels.
  • Great commercial judgement: you can explain every budget decision in pounds.
  • Happy getting hands-on with campaigns, spreadsheets and BI tools.
  • A clear, confident communicator who brings people along with evidence.
    • Desirable
  • Hybrid-casual or puzzle mobile game experience is a big plus.
Why Kwalee?
  • Generous Holiday: Start with 25 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays. You'll also earn an extra day for every year of service, up to 5 years!
  • Flexible Working: We offer core hours that allow you to work flexibly around your life, and a bank of 'Work From Home' days to use when you need them.
  • Health Cover: Private medical cover, life assurance, a solid pension plan, and cover for dental and optical care.
  • Recharge: Take advantage of our on-site gym and a supportive atmosphere that prioritises your wellbeing.
  • Free Food & Drink: Fuel your day with unlimited free snacks and drinks.
  • Gaming Goodies: Receive Steam codes for all our game releases!
  • Dog-Friendly Office: Bring your furry friend to our vibrant, fun office.
  • Office Location: Leamington Spa office location, with free parking and electric charging stations.
  • Merch & Events: Get exclusive Kwalee merch, enjoy fun seasonal events, and stay informed with regular town halls.
  • Growth & Learning: Full access to LinkedIn Learning to support your continuous professional development.
