[Hiring] Subscription Growth Manager @The Jodel Venture GmbH

Role Description

Jodel is looking for a senior, hands-on Subscription Growth Manager to own and scale our in-app purchase (IAP) and subscription business from significant 7-figure ARR to 8-figures.

• Lead monetisation strategy end-to-end — shaping pricing, tiering, packaging, promotions, and LiveOps systems grounded in user psychology and behavioral economics.
• Focus on driving conversion, ARPPU and more through data-led experimentation and cross-functional initiatives.
• Own and operate the commercial LiveOps strategy, including pricing frameworks, promotional cadence, experimentation roadmap, and execution of a data-driven commercial calendar.
• Apply a strong F2P mindset by balancing free vs. premium value, designing clear upgrade paths, and creating sustainable monetisation mechanics in close collaboration with Product.
• Define and evolve the monetisation roadmap, scaling subscriptions first and expanding into consumables, repeat purchase loops, and long-term ARPPU growth systems.
• Hands-on usage of tools like RevenueCat to set up products, paywalls, targeting, and experiments; monitor key metrics and troubleshoot performance changes.
• Own the analytical performance view across conversion, retention, ARPU/LTV, pricing, FX, and cohort behavior, identifying and prioritizing the highest-impact growth levers with focus and clarity.
• Lead complex, cross-functional monetisation initiatives across placements, clients, and geographies, ensuring measurable revenue impact.
• Strengthen subscription foundations by driving stakeholder alignment, ensuring robust tooling and measurement, and pragmatically improving processes to enable scalable growth.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in Freemium monetisation or LiveOps (mobile games OR high-scale freemium apps).
• Proven track record in freemium consumer apps (paywall dynamics), ideally “vitamin” rather than “painkiller” products.
• Strategic understanding of subscription business mechanics and growth tactics across the funnel.
• Experience building or scaling subscriptions from early stages (foundational setup through next-step growth levers like tiering/value).
• Strong analytics skills: ability to interpret data, create coherent narratives, and translate insights into prioritized actions.
• Operational expertise with RevenueCat (or equivalent) and paywall experimentation/targeting.
• Excellent project and stakeholder management in complex, multi-market contexts.
• High ownership: hands-on, self-driven, resilient, and comfortable doing the majority of execution personally.

Benefits

• Paid Company Offsites and Team Offsites every year with destinations all across Europe and MENA.
• Monthly budget for meals and drinks, usable at any restaurant, café, or food spot worldwide.
• Sponsored Wellhub (Urban Sports Club) Subscription for Sports, Mental Health, and Wholesomeness Services and Apps.
• Company-sponsored access to gyms, yoga, swimming, climbing, and a wide selection of online classes.
• Access to Mental Health and Wholesomeness Services and Apps, such as Headspace, Calm, iFeel, and more.
• Monthly mobility budget via Navit for public transport and other mobility options.
• Corporate discounts across brands like Adidas, LG, Bosch, Apple, and more.
• Monthly or yearly Personal Development Budget for professional memberships, literature, certifications, and conferences.
• Flexible remote framework with the option to work from our office in Berlin.
