Head of Marketing, USA

Wagestream is on a mission to bring better financial wellbeing to frontline workers.

We partner with some of the world’s most famous employers, like Dollar General, Hilton, Burger King, Popeyes and Crate & Barrel, to give their teams access to fairer financial services - all built around flexible pay. Over three million frontline workers can now choose when they’re paid, track their shifts and earnings, build up a rainy day pot, use budgeting tools, get free financial coaching, and access fairer financial products. All in one financial wellbeing super-app.

Wagestream is unique: some of the world's leading financial charities and impact funds were our founding investors, and we operate on a social charter - which means every product we build has to improve financial health and reduce the $5.6bn ‘premium’ lower-income earners pay for financial services each year.

You’d be joining a team of over 200 passionate, ambitious people, growing in Europe and the US, building a category-leading fintech product and all united by that same mission.

The Opportunity:

As we head into 2025, we are shifting focus to building more direct enterprise relationships and are seeking to hire a marketing leader to build our brand awareness with US buyers. For the right individual, there isn’t a better job in marketing. You get to positively impact the financial health of millions of US frontline workers and make a difference to their lives

You’ll be working closely with the CEO, COO, Global Head of Brand and US CCO to develop and optimize a marketing strategy. With only 15% adoption for key enterprise accounts, it’s a new market and proposition to employers, which represents the ultimate marketing opportunity and challenge for a creative and motivated B2B marketing leader.
