We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days. We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.

We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions Build the best technology in-house : we use new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting About the role We’re entering a once-in-a-company moment: a major step-change in our D2C marketing investment, a full rebrand of the company and product under the Zable brand, and a marketing function being built out at pace. This is one of the most exciting marketing builds in UK fintech right now, with the financial strength, customer base, and product depth to back it up. Direct Marketing is one of our highest-potential channels and we’re hiring a leader to turn it into a scaled, precise, and defensible growth engine. We’re looking for a Head of Direct Marketing to own the channel end-to-end: creative, sends, logistics, offers, and reporting, sourcing the data pipeline and user-data enrichment that let us target the right customer, with the right offer, at the right moment. Addressed direct mail is the core today, and you’ll have the scope to extend into other formats. You'll lead the channel's dedicated analysts and work with our creative team. Your job is to set the direction: decide who we mail, with what offer and when, commission and challenge the selection and response models, and hold every campaign to CAC and LTV targets. Standalone direct marketing roles with this kind of budget and autonomy are rare. If you've got significant experience in acquisition mail and want to build and extend a channel your own way, at a profitable business with the product range and analytical capabilities to make it work, this is the role. What we’re looking for: Essential: 5+ years in direct marketing, including at least 2–3 years owning an acquisition DM programme end to end: strategy, budget, data, production and results.
