Mobile Growth Lead (New App) (all genders)

We love the magic of memory keeping

At Journi, we’re on a mission to build the world’s most-downloaded printing app.

With over 10 million users worldwide, we help people turn their favorite moments into beautifully designed Photo Books and Prints. Our smart AI makes the process fast, simple, and joyful, so our users can spend less time editing and more time reliving their best stories.

We’re on the lookout for an enthusiastic Growth Lead, Mobile App who wants to be the first marketer on a brand-new app and build its growth engine from zero!

🚀 What you'll do

• Own the go-to-market of our new app end to end: positioning, launch plan, channel strategy and the path from first install to the first 100k users

• Build and run paid acquisition across Meta, TikTok, Apple Search Ads and Google, owning budget, creative testing and CAC and payback targets, working with our UA and media design team.

• Own the direction on creatives and on how we frame the ads

• Own the selection of target audiences

• Design onboarding, lifecycle and CRM flows (push, email, in-app) that turn installs into activated, retained users but working directly with our CRM team there.

• Work with the PM and the UI/UX designer on product marketing, referral and sharing loops, and App Store optimization

• Set up attribution and reporting (MMP, cohorts, dashboards) so every euro spent and every experiment is measurable

• Run a fast experiment cadence, decide what to scale and what to stop, and hire or brief freelancers and agencies as the app grows

🎒 Your bag of tricks

• 4 to 8 years in growth or performance marketing for consumer mobile apps, including hands-on budget ownership on paid social

• You have taken an app from launch or near zero to meaningful scale, and can show the numbers

• You are confident dealing with various channels like Influencer Marketing, Social Ads, AIO, referrals, PR, etc. (you love to apply growth hacks and marketing guerilla tactics)

• You know how to find and test different target audiences for a new app

• Solid grasp of mobile attribution (AppsFlyer, Adjust or similar, SKAN) and of cohort, retention and LTV analysis

• Working knowledge of lifecycle and CRM (push, email, onboarding flows), enough to design them and judge the results

• You are an owner who likes ambiguity: you make decisions with incomplete data, write your own briefs and don’t wait for a playbook

• You communicate clearly and work closely with product and engineering in a small, fast team

• Fluent English; German is a plus

• You have the right to work in the EU/Austria and are based in Vienna or open to relocating

🔥 Nice-to-haves

• Experience with referral, invite or other viral loops in social or photo apps

• Experience with creative production for short-form video ads (UGC, creator partnerships)

• Experience in the DACH market

• Some SQL or comfort with BI tools
