Inkitt is a technology-driven entertainment company using AI and predictive algorithms to discover and develop stories into blockbuster content. The company produces approximately one $1M ebook every four weeks and distributes directly to consumers via its Galatea app. Inkitt has achieved the 11th position among bestseller-generating publishers globally, with a 40x higher hit rate than traditional publishers. Recently completing a Series C funding round backed by leading VCs including Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and NEA Ventures, the company is expanding into television production through CandyJarTV. As User Acquisition Manager, you will lead the strategy and execution of user acquisition campaigns across Inkitt's consumer-facing platforms, including the Galatea app and CandyJarTV. You will own the full funnel from campaign planning through performance analysis, managing budgets across paid channels (social, search, display, partnerships) and optimizing for cost-effective growth. This role requires building and managing a team of acquisition specialists and analysts, collaborating with product and data teams to refine targeting and messaging, and establishing KPIs and reporting frameworks. You will evaluate new channels and partnerships, negotiate with media vendors, and drive experimentation to improve conversion rates and lifetime value metrics. The ideal candidate has 5+ years in user acquisition or growth marketing, proven success scaling consumer apps or digital products, strong analytical skills, and experience managing teams in fast-paced environments.
