About the role
Ruby Labs is a leading technology company specialising in innovative consumer products across multiple technology sectors. The company focuses on D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) subscription products. Our innovative teams are driving the future of consumer-led products, and we're always looking for passionate individuals to join us. Learn more about our story at: https://rubylabs.com/about-us/ As Lead User Acquisition Manager, you will own and scale paid acquisition for one of our core D2C subscription products. Your primary mandate is to maximise ROI across all paid channels - driving consistent, high-quality traffic that converts and retains. You will execute the strategy, manage the budget, and work closely with creative and analytics to continuously improve performance. This is a hands-on role suited for someone who is highly analytical, execution-focused, and takes full accountability for their numbers. Performance instability and unresolved issues are not acceptable - you are expected to operate with structure and rigour at all times. The bar is high and so is the upside - performance here is directly and significantly rewarded, and strong operators take on bigger scope fast.
