• Align Storytelling & Performance: Create unified messaging frameworks and CTAs that support both compelling brand stories and measurable performance across paid media, the website, and product experiences.
• Bring the Brand Into Product: Work closely with Product, UX, and Editorial to ensure the brand is woven throughout the customer journey—from acquisition to on-site experience to in-product content.

What You Bring

• Brand Transformation Expertise: 10+ years leading brand strategy or integrated marketing with a track record of successfully rebuilding or elevating major brands.
• Industry Insight (Big Bonus): Experience in financial services, fintech, or similarly complex consumer sectors is highly valuable.

• Performance Alignment: Ability to connect brand marketing efforts to measurable outcomes with clear frameworks for testing and iteration.
• Product Integration: Strong understanding of how to infuse brand strategy into product surfaces, web journeys, and customer experiences.
• Messaging Mastery: Skilled at simplifying complex concepts and creating cohesive messaging systems across all channels.
