Job Summary

Own product marketing strategy end-to-end for a fintech platform, shaping the narrative, guiding market exploration, and building scalable processes that drive activation and monetization.

  • Strategic Narrative: define differentiated messaging and positioning for the product suite across audiences.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Architect the Strategic Narrative: You will lead the development of the foundational messaging frameworks and positioning for our product suite. You'll ensure our story is differentiated, defensible, and resonates deeply with the financial aspirations of millions.
  • Drive Inbound Strategy & Exploration: You will spearhead exploratory work to identify market signals before products are built. You’ll oversee customer discovery, conduct deep-dive interviews, and translate ambiguous pain points into concrete product roadmaps.
  • Build Strategic Moats: You will drive the design and execution of rigorous experiments to optimize pricing, packaging, and positioning. Your work will deliver measurable lifts in activation and monetization, ensuring our products are as commercially viable as they are impactful.
  • Act as the Cross-Functional Connective Tissue: You will align diverse teams—Product, Growth, Design, Data, and Creative—around the highest-impact opportunities. You'll drive follow-through across dependencies and resolve organizational gaps to protect outcomes.
  • Scale a World-Class Team: You will manage and mentor a growing team of Product Marketers. Your focus will be on "talent architecture"—coaching experienced ICs through strategic hurdles while building a strong development pipeline for junior talent.
  • Establish Repeatable Excellence: You won't just solve problems; you'll build the playbooks. You will create the frameworks that make high-quality product marketing repeatable and scalable as we transition from a single product to a multi-faceted financial ecosystem.

Kikoff was founded in 2019 with a not-so-simple goal: make it easier for people to build credit. And it’s working. With 2 million customers, we’re helping people achieve their credit goals, so they can build the life they deserve. And we’re just getting started. We’re profitable, growing fast, and we’ve achieved Unicorn status. Our team is made up of data scientists, engineers, AI developers, product designers, & financial gurus. Credit is key to big milestones — from opening a credit card to getting better rates on loans. But there’s a catch: it’s easier to build credit, when you already have it.Co-founders Cynthia Chen and Christophe Chong understood this first hand, so they built a solution. Kikoff’s main product is our Credit Account, a reported tradeline exclusively focused on building credit. But we didn’t stop there. We’ve added accessible features like Rent & Bill Reporting and our AI-powered Debt Negotiation tool to take the time and headaches out of leveling up your financial health. AI is a game changer—and we’re using it to make our products future-proof. Check out our career site to see how you can help credit builders score.
