Senior Performance Marketer

Summary
Kuda is a Nigerian digital bank on a mission to make financial services more affordable, accessible and rewarding for every African. Since launching in 2019, we’ve grown rapidly by building products that help people manage their money better - from free transfers and smart budgeting to savings and overdrafts.

We’re looking for a Senior Performance Marketer to drive efficient, scalable customer acquisition across paid channels. This role sits within the broader Marketing team and works closely with Product Marketing, Lifecycle Marketing, Communications and Creative to translate insights into high-impact growth plans.

This is a senior individual contributor role, suited to someone who can plan and execute complex work, use data to inform decisions, and contribute positively to team culture.

Role Overview
As a Senior Performance Marketer, you’ll own the end-to-end execution of acquisition initiatives, from planning and experimentation through to optimisation and reporting.

You’ll be expected to understand how different aspects of the marketing ecosystem work together - channels, creative, audiences, data and product signals - and use that understanding to drive strong business outcomes. You’ll also play an active role in sharing knowledge, improving ways of working, and helping the team adapt as priorities evolve.

• Work with teammates to test and adopt better ways of working as the business evolves.
• Adapt plans quickly in response to performance signals, platform changes or shifting priorities.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, platform updates and regulatory changes relevant to performance marketing.

Connection & collaboration

• Work closely with Creative and Communications teams to ensure performance activity is aligned with broader messaging and audience strategy.
• Tailor channel and audience approaches in increasingly nuanced ways as insights deepen.

• Strong analytical skills, with experience using campaign or channel data to inform decisions.
• Solid understanding of paid acquisition fundamentals, including targeting, bidding, creative testing and funnel optimisation.
• Experience using mobile app analytics or attribution tools such as Mixpanel, AppsFlyer or similar.
