The role

Our overall company vision is to build the world’s bank payment network and we are looking for an individual to help us join the dots between a fantastic product and huge growth potential in a growing market. Make no mistake, we are building a category and we intend to own it. We need someone with the right mix of talent and experience to help us with this.

Reporting into the Head of Commercial Strategy for our Global Growth Group your role will sit alongside our Commercial Strategy, Product Development, Marketing and Sales teams, whose mission is to build powerful products that merchants want to buy and use.

Develop a deep understanding of our customers through qualitative and quantitative research and market research in order to inform effective and impactful business decisions
Help bring new products and features to market, and ensure we do this in a way that drives maximum adoption
Work cross-functionally to ensure that our GTM arm has the right data points, messaging, positioning, and resources they need to drive growth

Ensuring our front-line teams, may it be Marketing, Affiliates or Partnerships, have the right tools and compelling collateral at hand to successfully articulate the value of GoCardless to new partners, affiliates or customers
Developing and leading the execution of go-to-market plans for upcoming product launches and experiments
Collaborating with diverse teams and be comfortable engaging with stakeholders across the business

We’re looking for candidates who demonstrate the following skills and experiences:

Data-Driven Decision Making: Strong quantitative analytical skills, with a track record of extracting insights from data and turning them into actionable strategies to help drive messaging, targeting, and GTM decisions.
Customer Focus: Proven ability to uncover customer pain points and motivations through primary research, and translate these insights into compelling propositions.
Market Analysis: Proficient in conducting competitive and market analysis in order to develop a point of view on the market and identify opportunities to enhance the product offering and adapt our market positioning for success
Go-to-Market Execution: Expertise in planning and executing GTM strategies that span the entire funnel, from awareness to adoption and retention.
Enablement: A strategic approach to frontline team enablement, ensuring teams have the tools and insights needed to articulate value effectively. Also, the ability to deliver impactful training and resources that drive engagement without overwhelming teams.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Experience partnering with product, engineering, sales, marketing, and partnerships to execute initiatives that solve customer problems and drive growth. A proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders with varying priorities and perspectives.
Prioritisation and Impact: A data-driven and structured approach to identifying and prioritising initiatives that drive the highest impact. Demonstrated success in driving activations, adoption, and other key business metrics.
