• Serve as a subject matter expert on Liftoff platforms, integrations with MMPs, SKAN, supply partners, and key measurement frameworks.
• Translate complex technical features into business outcomes, influencing platform adoption and deepening customer engagement.
• Investigate performance concerns by independently querying and analyzing data (via SQL), offering actionable insights to both customers and internal teams.
• Leverage data to reinforce Liftoff’s point of view in technical evaluations, platform comparisons, and attribution debates.
• Enable go-to-market teams through training, scalable technical resources, and guidance on objection handling, product positioning, and industry narratives.
• Identify repeatable patterns across customer feedback and contribute to tooling, automation, and support workflows that enhance internal efficiency.
• Represent Liftoff’s POV on critical industry topics such as SKAN vs. MMPs, PSA vs. Ghost Ads, MMM, and cross-channel attribution in internal forums and customer conversations.
• Stay abreast of major trends in mobile measurement and ad tech; proactively synthesize developments into actionable insights for sales and product strategy.
• Collaborate across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Sales to shape product roadmaps, vet and promote platform changes, and influence feature rollouts based on customer needs.

Requirements: 

• Customer-centric mindset with demonstrated success in client-facing roles.
• Clear, adaptable communicator who can quickly convey complex technical ideas and insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders across written, verbal, and visual mediums.
• Exceptional analytical and troubleshooting skills, with a proven ability to diagnose and solve problems under pressure.
• Skilled at requirement gathering and presenting data-driven recommendations to senior audiences.
• Willing to travel 10–25% for business needs.
• Demonstrable SQL proficiency: Capable of writing, optimizing, and interpreting intricate queries for analysis, debugging, and reporting purposes.
• Bachelor’s degree and 2-4 years of professional experience.

Nice to Have: 

• Hands-on experience or strong interest in app & web development, iOS/Android architectures, and mobile app-tracking solutions.
