We’re seeking an enthusiastic, results-oriented temporary marketing manager to support Eater’s mobile app. As a member of the Eater team, you’ll play a key role in overseeing the marketing efforts for the Eater app, both paid and organic, to drive Eater app downloads and engagement. That includes executing and optimizing paid media campaigns across channels like social, search, Apple app store, and display — with a focus on driving downloads. It also includes tracking performance of organic marketing efforts, including newsletter placements, organic social efforts, talent collaborations, and other efforts driven by Eater’s own powerful brand and editorial team.

You’ll bring 3+ years of hands-on paid media experience, a sharp analytical mindset, a detail-oriented diligence around reporting, clear communication, and an eye for fresh, clever marketing ideas.

• 2+ years of hands-on experience managing paid Google and Meta campaigns (additional platforms a plus)
• Experience trafficking and managing ad campaigns in Apple App store
