• Conduct ongoing data‑driven performance analysis, applying insights to refine campaigns and improve ROI.
• Define and uphold brand guidelines, ensuring consistency across all customer touchpoints.

• 7+ years in consumer marketing, ideally in fintech, payments, or other high‑growth digital products
• At least 1 year of experience in a B2C Fintech or B2C tech startup.
• Demonstrated success in launching and scaling marketing initiatives in emerging markets, preferably with direct experience in Sudan or within Sudanese diaspora communities.
• Proven expertise in paid digital marketing, influencer outreach, referral program development, and community‑based marketing strategies.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and translate insights into actionable strategies.
• Experience managing creative agencies, contractors, and distributed teams.
• Exceptional communication, storytelling, and brand‑building capabilities.
• High degree of adaptability, resilience, and resourcefulness, with experience in lean, early‑stage environments.
• Arabic language skills and/or established networks within Sudanese communities are highly advantageous.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to establish and lead the marketing function for a high‑impact fintech from inception.
• Significant ownership over strategy and execution, with the autonomy to innovate and experiment.

• A mission‑driven culture focused on expanding financial access and inclusion for Sudanese communities worldwide.
