Job description

Binance is a leading global blockchain ecosystem behind the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and registered users. We are trusted by 300+ million people in 100+ countries for our industry-leading security, user fund transparency, trading engine speed, deep liquidity, and an unmatched portfolio of digital-asset products. Binance offerings range from trading and finance to education, research, payments, institutional services, and more. Our mission is to increase the freedom of money and financial access for people around the world.

About the Role

As a Local Market Digital Specialist (Africa), you’ll drive the way we connect with local users to grow Binance’s active user base. Leveraging your growth digital marketing skill (Paid Ads, SEO, ASO, affiliates traffic, referrals, email marketing,…) you’ll identify opportunities for the local market in order to reach and activate new users.

As the right person for the job, you’ll care deeply about how to leverage all digital media channels to reach new audiences and build an enduring brand, be creative about the deployment of marketing messages, and be rigorous about learning from the data you collect and the experiential campaigns you run. Most importantly, you’ll drive results and significantly grow our customer base.

Responsibilities:

• Adapt global paid strategy to local reality — transcreate, never translate; own the market narrative for local campaigns, performance creative and the design briefs that deliver it.

• Provide local channel expertise and activation alongside global platforms.

• Monitor daily, weekly, and monthly performance and act on anomalies using AppsFlyer, Sensor Tower, and Similarweb; elevate what needs escalating.

• Drive local SEO with editorial and content teams, including on local search engines where relevant

• Support SEO activities such as link buildings & content review, and grow visibility in AI-generated answers (AEO/GEO) for local-language queries.

• Feed local intelligence — competitor moves, cultural shifts, regulatory changes, local user behaviour — back to the global team so it shapes strategy, not just execution.

Requirements:

• Ideally >3 years of performance marketing experience (paid ads and SEO), in a crypto or FinTech industry

• Native-level local market fluency: Not just language — consumer psychology, the local competitive and trust landscape, crypto’s local reputation and local user behaviour

• Performance data literacy: Solid understanding of data analytics and online customer acquisition, able to interpret and tell the “why” behind the numbers, not just “it is low/ high”

• Working knowledge of SEO: on-page, linkbuildings, and such. (Bonus: AIO & GEO working experience)

• Local platforms/ channels/ campaigns: Managed at least one local channel for paid ads and designed one local campaign

• Fluent English speaker, with understanding of local language

Why Binance

• Shape the future of finance
• Collaborate with world-class talent in a user-centric global organization with a flat structure
• Tackle challenging projects in a fast-paced and innovative enviornment with autonomy
• Thrive in a results-driven workplace with opportunities for career growth and continuous learning
• Competitive salary and company benefits
• Remote-first, work-from-home arrangement (may vary depending on the nature of the role and team)

Binance is committed to being an equal opportunity employer. We believe that having a diverse workforce is fundamental to our success.
