- Create and edit content across website and landing pages, CRM and email, paid and organic social, video, product explainers and educational materials.
- Translate complex products, platform capabilities and market themes into authoritative, clear content for sophisticated traders and accessible content for active investors.
- Develop content-led acquisition campaigns and lead magnets, partnering with CRM on landing pages, nurture journeys and retargeting to generate qualified interest, leads, account applications and funded accounts.
- Partner with the Head of Product Marketing to turn positioning, launches and platform capabilities into effective, customer-focused campaigns.
- Apply strong knowledge of trading, investing and financial markets to understand experienced and higher-value traders, identify timely opportunities and maintain content authority and accuracy.
- Manage and develop a direct report and external partners while remaining hands-on in priority work.
- Collaborate across Product Marketing, CRM, Social, Performance Marketing, SEO, Brand, Design, Product, Analytics and Compliance to deliver joined-up campaigns and customer experiences.
- Involve Compliance and relevant stakeholders early, ensuring content meets brand and financial promotions requirements.
- Use customer insight, testing, analytics and performance data to optimise content and campaigns.
- Embed AI-native ways of working, using the latest AI and creative tools to improve research, ideation, production, versioning and optimisation without compromising quality, accuracy or compliance.
