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.

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
