We constantly push boundaries to be world-class at what we do — and to leave a lasting, positive impact 🚀 Job Description About the Role We’re looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial growth leader to scale our SME card-linked loyalty product — a first-of-its-kind solution that lets small businesses offer loyalty directly through their customers’ bank cards. This is a rare opportunity to build the full growth engine — from acquisition to onboarding to long-term customer success — behind one of the most exciting fintech products in the market.

Qualifications What We’re Looking For • 6–10 years’ experience in growth, sales, or commercial leadership — ideally in fintech, SaaS, or SME-focused products. • Proven ability to build and scale acquisition and customer success teams. • Strong commercial instincts — skilled at structuring partnerships that drive reach and win-win value. • Deep understanding of growth metrics: CAC, LTV, funnel performance, payback periods, and churn. • Gritty, creative, and analytical — you thrive on testing, learning, and adapting fast. • Natural leader who can motivate, coach, and scale a high-performing team. • Thrives in a startup environment — resourceful, adaptable, and energised by building from zero to one.
