Head of Ad Monetisation

We are looking for a data-led Ad Monetisation specialist to take over P&L responsibility for ad monetisation at Space Ape.

It’s an incredibly exciting time here at Space Ape Games. Our new music game, Beatstar recently launched globally, hitting No 1 in apps in 24 countries, and has been played by over 20M people in just a few months. With advertising revenue of millions per month (and growing) we are now looking for someone to own this important new revenue stream.

You’ll be initially embedded into the Beatstar game team and will make your own decisions with no red tape. You will work closely with the core development team to increase LTV through growth of ad monetisation and have end to end ownership of the advertising revenue stream across the studio including cross promotion inventory.

As the first Space Ape employee ever to specialise in Ad Monetisation, you will shape the role and will be working closely with teams around the studio to drive growth, innovation and profit. If you have a passion for working with numbers, are hands-on, crave project ownership, and are driven by making a significant impact – we should talk!
