Job description

Head of Performance Marketing
London - Hybrid
£60,000 - £70,000 + Equity + Benefits

On offer is a unique opportunity for a Head of Performance Marketing to join an ambitious fintech startup on a mission to reinvent how people save for retirement.

This company is a fast-growing fintech startup tackling one of the biggest financial challenges of our time: helping younger generations engage with long-term saving. By combining intuitive technology, behavioural science, and standout user experience, they are building the pension platform of the future - simple, accessible, and even exciting.

In this high-impact role, you'll join a small, accomplished founding team with deep experience in financial services and tech. You'll be the first performance marketing hire and will lead the charge on customer acquisition - from strategy to execution - across paid media, SEO, CRO, analytics, and funnel optimisation.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in driving customer acquisition in high-growth environments, particularly across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn. You'll be comfortable working hands-on, setting up campaigns, testing creative and landing pages, and owning reporting and optimisation. This is a role for someone who can balance strategic thinking with tactical delivery - and who thrives in a builder environment.

This is an outstanding opportunity to shape and lead growth in a company poised to redefine retirement saving, with clear progression toward a leadership role as the business scales.

The Role:

• Own the growth strategy and execution across all key acquisition channels
• Build and optimise acquisition funnels and landing pages
• Define key metrics and set up reporting frameworks to track performance
• Collaborate closely with product, content, and leadership teams

The Person:

• Strong experience with hands-on performance marketing experience, ideally in fintech or a high-growth startup
• Expert in paid media (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn)
• Strong in marketing analytics, attribution, and experimentation
• Strategic thinker with a bias for action - capable of owning projects end-to-end
• Experience in a startup or early-stage company highly desirable
