About the Role

The Head of Marketing will lead Skillz’s Growth and LiveOps, shaping how we attract, engage, retain, and grow the value of players across our platform. This is a broad leadership role spanning performance marketing, organic growth, lifecycle, LiveOps, and player offers and incentives.

We’re looking for a data-driven growth leader who understands both acquisition and the in-product player economy, has built and led high-performing teams, and knows how to turn customer insights and experimentation into sustainable growth. You’ll work closely with Product, Analytics, Engineering, Finance, and other leaders to help define and deliver the next phase of growth for Skillz.

Responsibilities

Own both the Growth org and the LiveOps org for Skillz Platform — a single accountable owner for demand generation and for the in-app economy of events, offers and messaging that converts it.

Lead Performance Marketing / UA (via the Head of Performance), Organic (ASO/CPP), and Creative — allocating spend across networks × games × surfaces against CAC-to-stable and stable-LTV, never CPI alone.

Own the LiveOps operating model: per-game events, promos and offer slates across Solitaire Skillz, Blackout Bingo, Dominoes Gold and Arena, with a dedicated owner per surface.
