FULL-TIME CMO JOB · FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR · UNITED KINGDOM

Moneyboat (fintech lender) seeks a full-time Head of Performance Marketing to own multi-channel paid acquisition, affiliate partnerships, and a multi-million-pound media budget. Strong fit for permanent or contract placement; no fractional signals. Salary range £75–80k suggests mid-market scale, not senior enough for top-tier fractional demand.
Full-time Head of Marketing — the balanced verdict
Why this role stands out
- Clear performance-marketing remit — paid search, meta, programmatic, affiliate relationships.
- Substantial budget ownership and measurable KPI accountability.
- Fintech + regulated consumer lending context; sector expertise valued.
- Established employer (since 2014) with transparent benefits and remote flexibility.
Worth checking before you apply
- Salary £75–80k is modest for a leadership role overseeing multi-million-pound spend; may reflect regional scaling or growth-stage budget.
- Job title is 'Head of' but remit is hands-on (analytics, tool configuration); blurs strategic leadership with execution.
- No mention of team size or direct reports; ambiguous whether this is a solo player or line manager.
