Head of Acquisition

Direct message the job poster from Albert Bow

We’re hiring a Head of Acquisition (EMEA) to own and drive new customer growth across the region. This is a senior, high-impact role with full accountability for acquisition strategy and execution, focused on delivering step-change growth through performance-led channels.

This role is hands-on and execution-focused
. You’ll define acquisition strategy, translate it into clear media and creative briefs, and work day-to-day with media and creative agencies to ensure campaigns deliver against ambitious growth targets.
This is not a high-level oversight role, success depends on deep channel expertise and active involvement in campaign delivery.

You’ll partner closely with Country Heads and local stakeholders to ensure acquisition strategies, media plans and creative executions are market‑specific, culturally relevant, and compliant with regional regulations. You’ll act as the central owner, balancing global scale with local execution across EMEA.

This is a rare opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a fast‑moving, regulated, performance‑driven environment at the forefront of digital finance.

• 5+ years’ experience in senior acquisition or performance marketing roles
• Crypto experience is essential
• Fintech or adjacent financial services experience acceptable
• Demonstrated track record of delivering step-change growth in new customer acquisition
• Experience owning acquisition strategy for EMEA or multi‑market regions (EU experience highly desirable)
• Hands‑on experience with major performance platforms (e.g. Google, Meta and paid social/search platforms)
• Proven experience scaling acquisition through external media and creative agencies
• UK‑based, with the ability to work hybrid from a London office

• Own and lead the acquisition strategy across EMEA, with clear accountability for new customer growth
• Deliver measurable, step-change improvements in acquisition volume and efficiency
• Build, brief and manage media and creative agencies across planning, activation, optimisation and reporting
• Own performance across paid social channels (e.g. Meta, Tik Tok, X and emerging platforms), including audience strategy, creative testing, budget allocation and scaling
• Own performance across paid search channels (e.g. Google Search, App Campaigns, You Tube), including keyword strategy, bidding approaches and full‑funnel optimisation
• Oversee additional performance channels where relevant (e.g. display, affiliates, programmatic)
• Translate acquisition strategy into clear media plans, creative direction and structured testing roadmaps
• Partner with regional and local teams to ensure creative and messaging are localised, compliant and market‑relevant
• Work closely with Product, Data and Analytics teams to optimise funnels, landing pages and conversion performance
• Own budgets, forecasting, CAC targets and performance reporting for EMEA acquisition
• Drive continuous experimentation across audiences, creatives, formats, bids and channels
• Ensure all acquisition activity complies with platform policies and regulatory requirements across EMEA
