WooCommerce is the most popular eCommerce platform on the web, and we’re looking for an experienced FinTech product marketer to help us continue to evolve the way store owners transact and manage financial activity on our platform.

As a part of the Woo Marketing team and a key collaborator in the FinTech cross-functional team, you will drive impact across the entire product lifecycle – leveraging merchant insights to influence product strategy, wrangling go-to-market plans, and growing product adoption post-launch.

Demonstrate a compelling perspective on where the market is headed and how we can preemptively meet our customers’ FinTech needs. Surface insights in marketing strategy and cross-functional decision-making.

• Create and validate data-informed segmentation and targeting strategies. Analyze our customer base and market data to establish where we should focus our marketing efforts. Summarize quantitative feedback for cross-functional partners and underline product roadmap implications when relevant.
• Go to market (GTM) leadership. Provide clear direction to the rest of the marketing team on what products we are marketing and to whom. Define clear targets and messaging that speaks to our users’ needs. Activate the right channels, track results, and iterate toward improvement. Drive work with agency partners and freelancers as needed.
