Company Description

Vault is a performance-driven marketing and media buying network founded in 2019. We built our foundation in the highly-regulated sports betting industry, and now power high-volume, high-intent traffic for brands across iGaming, prediction markets, finance, and more. We’re now expanding aggressively into finance and crypto mobile app partnerships, and we’re looking for someone to lead that charge.

Role Description

We’re hiring a Head of Performance Partnerships to own and scale performance-based mobile app deals, primarily in the finance and crypto space.

• Has some experience with MMPs
• Brings existing relationships or a book of business

• Partner with finance, crypto, fintech, and adjacent mobile brands
• Negotiate commercial terms and traffic structures
• Work alongside Vault’s media buying teams to launch and scale campaigns
• Build long-term strategic partnerships with growth and UA teams
• Develop a repeatable outbound and deal pipeline process
• Help shape Vault’s expansion into new verticals beyond iGaming

Qualifications

• 5+ years in performance marketing, mobile UA, or partnership sales

• Strong understanding of: Mobile attribution platforms (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Singular, etc.), CPI / CPA / in-app event pricing models, Media buying economics
• Experience in finance, crypto, fintech, or similarly regulated industries
• Existing brand relationships strongly preferred
• Entrepreneurial mindset; comfortable building something new
• High ownership and accountability

Why This Role is Unique

• Performance-based model = lower risk for brands, faster closes

• High upside tied directly to deal volume and performance
• Opportunity to help build a new major revenue vertical

Compensation

• Flexible structure (base + performance-heavy commission OR performance-weighted structure)
• Significant upside based on deals closed and scaled
• Open to full-time or high-impact fractional candidates
