As our Head of Product Marketing, you will step in as a key leader to ensure continuity and momentum across Product Marketing during a high-velocity period (launches, roadmap changes, and strategic priorities). This role is a maternity cover for Alice, the current Head of Product Marketing, and reports directly to Steve (Co-founder & Interim CPO).

You will act as the bridge between Product and Growth, align senior stakeholders, and drive a strong product narrative—while keeping the team operating smoothly day-to-day.

Lead & align Product Marketing across domains + markets

• Manage and coach a team of 17 Product Marketers, including 2 managers;
• Set a clear operating rhythm (priorities, decision cadence, planning) to absorb launches and roadmap shifts;
• Ensure consistency of messaging across domains + markets, while adapting locally where needed.

Drive cross-functional stakeholder alignment

• Map and actively manage senior stakeholders (Product, Growth, Engineering, Regional GMs, etc.);
• Resolve misalignment, clarify trade-offs, and steer decisions with strong exec communication;
• Influence without formal authority, with a high degree of context switching and ambiguity.

Deliver scalable GTM execution and product narrative

• Maintain and evolve a repeatable GTM playbook (positioning, messaging, enablement);
• Anticipate upcoming roadmap needs and strengthen customer-centric storytelling across the company;
• Promote a continuous improvement mindset (PDCA) for launches, learnings, and iterations.

Must-haves

• Proven senior stakeholder management experience in complex, cross-functional environments;
• Strong structured problem solving & prioritisation (you can decide what not to do);
• Solid people leadership, including leading leaders / managing through Lead PMMs;
• Comfortable operating with limited day-to-day support (direct report to senior exec).

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in a European fintech (easier ramp-up in our context);
• Familiarity with regulated environments and the ability to learn fast and upskill others.
