The posting
appflame — a Ukrainian IT company building world-class products: Hily, Taimi, AdConnect.
Who we are today:
- 7 years on the market, 500+ employees, offices in Kyiv, London, and Limassol, plus a coworking space in Warsaw.
- In 2025, appflame ranked 5th among Ukraine's 50 best employers according to Forbes and won in the "Place for Growth" category.
- Our apps Hily and Taimi are among the Top 5 dating apps in the U.S., with over 70 million users. AdConnect and Mailkeeper build and scale our own B2B and B2C solutions.
Our mission: Flame up the world with Ukrainian products.
Our goals:
- Reach the top 5 product companies in the world.
- Become a unicorn — and turn Ukraine into a country where unicorns are born and thrive.
We're looking for daring, ambitious, and "a little crazy" people — those who love building real products and dream of launching cool startups. You have the ambition; we have the conditions to make it happen.
Your project:
appflame Ignite is our early-stage incubator: founders with the ambition and vision to build world-class mobile products inside appflame, with the company's resources and expertise behind them. Marketing measurement is the discipline these products scale by — and that's exactly what you'll own.
You will:
- Own marketing measurement end-to-end across the mobile stack — MMP data, SKAN/AdAttributionKit, and first-party signals — and build one trusted view of CAC, ROAS, and payback.
- Build predictive LTV models by channel, geo, and cohort that UA teams use to bid, budget, and scale.
- Stand up an incrementality testing (geo-lift, holdouts) and media mix modeling program — and drive budget reallocations based on the results.
- Turn creative and campaign data into a decision engine: systematic creative analysis, early kill/scale signals, and channel diagnostics.
- Own the marketing data infrastructure: pipelines from MMPs, ad networks, and app stores into a clean warehouse layer with self-serve dashboards.
- Align UA, product, and finance on unit economics — payback windows, blended vs. paid CAC, subscription LTV assumptions.
- Hire, develop, and lead a team of marketing analysts as the function scales.
We'll have a match if you:
- Have 6+ years in marketing/growth analytics, including 3+ years in mobile UA-driven businesses.
- Have 2+ years leading an analytics team, including hiring.
- Hands-on experience with MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, or similar), SKAN/AdAttributionKit, and major ad platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, ASA).
- Track record of building predictive LTV/pLTV models used in real budget decisions—not just built.
- Designed and run incrementality tests (geo-lift, holdouts) and/or media mix modeling;
- Proficient with SQL and Python/R, and ownership experience of marketing data pipelines and BI tooling (warehouse, dbt, Tableau/Looker, or similar);
- Grasp subscription unit economics: cohort analysis, retention curves, payback windows, blended vs. paid CAC.
- Are judgment to make calls with incomplete attribution data and the communication skills to defend them to non-technical leadership.
- Have an advanced level of English.
Will be an advantage:
- Experience in dating/lifestyle apps (subscription apps a strong plus).
- Exposure to MMM tooling (Robyn, Meridian, or in-house).
- Experience presenting measurement strategy to C-level or a board.
What success looks like in the first 6–12 months:
- One trusted view of CAC, ROAS, and payback is live and used daily by UA, product, and finance.
- pLTV models by channel, geo, and cohort are driving real bidding and budget decisions.
- The first incrementality tests have run — and at least one budget reallocation has been made based on their results.
- The first analysts are hired, and the team's operating rhythm is set.
