(Senior) Performance Marketing Manager (m/f/d) - Remote (based in Romania)
A small piece of paper with numbers that have the power to change a life forever! Okay... let's replace the paper with an app and one person with 600,000+ monthly users. This is our business!
📌 Your Mission
As (Senior) Performance Marketing Manager (m/f/d), your mission will be to scale NextLotto’s user acquisition engine across paid channels—including Meta, TikTok, Google Ads, DSPs, Apple Search Ads, CTV/LTV, and emerging platforms—as well as ASO. As Lotto Scanner continues its rapid growth and our paid budgets expand, you will partner with the existing Performance Marketing team to drive day-to-day campaign management, creative testing, reporting, tracking, and channel optimization. Your ultimate goal will be to lower CAC, build a robust, high-velocity creative-testing muscle, and unlock and scale entirely new acquisition channels.

Channel testing — design and run structured pilots on new channels with proper measurement and stop/scale decisions
Tactical coordination with our external partners on CTV/LTV/programmatic execution — briefs, weekly check-ins, creative reviews
Attribution + tooling — keep our MMP setup clean (Adjust), work with our data team to understand, analyze data and MMM
Cross-team coordination with organic Social Media, Brand, CRM, and Creative
