MARKETING LEAD 6 Month FTC | Fintech / Payments Scale-Up | London (City)

Looking for 4 days in the office in Central London - Salary Up to £140,000 (pro rata for contract)

Our client is a fast-growing, founder-led technology business operating in the payments and financial services space, selling into large enterprise clients and top-tier banking institutions. Backed and scaling fast, with an ambitious international growth agenda.

This is a genuine build opportunity. The business is elevating marketing within the leadership team and wants someone who can take ownership of brand, PR and communications, and make their mark quickly — not inherit something already running.

THE INTERIM MARKETING LEAD ROLE WILL INCLUDE:

  • Elevating brand and market profile, positioning the business as a credible, recognised name in its space

  • Driving PR and communications strategy, securing coverage in top-tier business and financial services press

  • Leading delivery of major industry events and conferences

  • Building marketing collateral and sales enablement materials largely from scratch

  • Supporting go-to-market and messaging for a newly launched product, translating complex propositions for different audiences

  • Nurturing and leading a small marketing team, acting as a trusted adviser to the leadership team

THE IDEAL INTERIM MARKETING LEAD WILL HAVE:

  • A strong track record in B2B marketing within financial services, fintech, payments or an adjacent regulated sector

  • Demonstrable strength in brand, PR and communications, with evidence of securing top-tier and sector media coverage

  • Large-scale event management experience

  • A genuinely hands-on, builder mentality — comfortable doing as well as directing

  • Experience leading or nurturing a small team

  • A strong academic background

  • Comfort with technical and emerging technology subject matter is a plus

  • Experience in a founder-led, fast-paced, scaling environment is a plus

WHY JOIN THIS BUSINESS AS THEIR INTERIM MARKETING LEAD?

  • A genuine seat at the table — this role reports into the senior leadership team and sits at the heart of how the business presents itself to the market

  • Real ownership and the chance to build a function from the ground up

  • Work directly with a high-profile founder who cares deeply about brand

  • Genuine potential for the role to become permanent for the right person

  • Fast-paced, international scale-up environment at the intersection of finance and technology
