We are looking for a sharp, self-motivated, AI forward Fintech Brand Marketing Manager to own marketing strategy and execution for one or more of our Branded Products. This is not a seat-warmer role.

• Conduct ongoing competitive analysis and market research to identify whitespace opportunities and positioning advantages.

• Develop and execute comprehensive, multi-channel marketing plans encompassing both paid and organic channels.
• Manage campaigns across:
  Paid Social, Organic Social, App Store Optimization (ASO), Search (SEO/GEO), Direct Mail (DTC), OOH, Connected TV/Streaming, UGC, Influencer, and Email.
• Leverage data and consumer insights to continuously test, optimize, and improve campaign performance.
• Drive efficient customer acquisition — balancing growth velocity with disciplined CAC management.

• Serve as the brand champion across cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Compliance, Customer Success, and Executive leadership.
• Lead creative development from concept through production — writing briefs, providing feedback, and ensuring brand integrity.
• Present strategy, results, and recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Champion a culture of intellectual curiosity, accountability, and honest feedback within the marketing function.

• Own brand and marketing KPIs: awareness metrics, CAC, LTV, conversion rates, ROAS, share of voice, and NPS.
• Translate performance data into clear narratives that drive strategic decisions.
• Establish testing frameworks (A/B, multivariate) to continuously improve messaging and creative.

• 3+ years of brand marketing experience, with at least 2 years in fintech, financial services, or a highly regulated consumer tech category.
• Demonstrated track record of building or scaling a consumer or small business brand — from strategy through execution.
• Fluency in digital marketing channels: paid social, search, SEO/GEO, programmatic CTV, email, and app store.
• Proficiency with analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Looker, or similar) and paid media dashboards.
• Experience working in lean, fast-paced environments where you own outcomes, not just activities.

• Intellectually Curious — You study your customers, your market, and your competitors obsessively. You ask better questions than most people have answers for.
• Genuinely Honest — You share real assessments — not just what people want to hear. You flag problems early. You own mistakes and fix them.
• Intrinsically Motivated…
