Senior Manager, User Acquisition

At Bumble, we’re building the Love Company — a place where healthy, equitable relationships and friendships can start (and keep growing). The Growth Ads team helps bring that mission to more people by running high-quality, trustworthy advertising that respects our community and strengthens our brand.

We’re looking for a commercially sharp and highly execution-focused performance marketer to drive paid acquisition across multiple channels, brands, and markets.

Reporting to the Associate Director, User Acquisition, this role is responsible for translating portfolio strategy into disciplined, high-velocity execution — and for turning performance insight into clear recommendations that shape future direction.

This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, moves quickly, and combines rigour with resourcefulness. We value scrappy excellence: high standards, smart prioritisation, and the ability to deliver impact without unnecessary overhead.
