Job Summary

Own the full funnel from market positioning to demand generation and rigorous measurement for a cross-border payments platform.

  • Branding and market storytelling for a complex product and multi-touch buyer journey.
  • Demand generation across SEO/geo, content, paid, events, PR, and outreach to build qualified pipeline.
  • Pipeline handoff, sales enablement, and attribution to deliver sourced and influenced pipeline and defined ROI.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own positioning and brand — build a market narrative that makes Pockyt's differentiation legible: the platform for complex, less-vanilla cross-border money movement in an agentic economy. Own the message across web, content, and every buyer touchpoint
  • Build the demand engine — stand up and run the channels that generate qualified pipeline: SEO/GEO, thought-leadership and merchant-data content, vertical landing pages, paid social, targeted outreach, PR, and events. Own the mix and the results
  • Own pipeline handoff to Sales — define what a qualified opportunity is, instrument the handoff, and hold a clean SLA with the Partnerships team so demand converts instead of leaking. You're accountable for sourced and influenced pipeline, not just traffic
  • Enable the sales motion — equip the team with the collateral, decks, vertical narratives, and competitive proof points that shorten cycles and win complex deals
  • Run customer and lifecycle marketing with Customer Success — partner on case studies, references, advocacy, and expansion campaigns that support retention and net revenue growth across the signed book. Close the loop from first touch to advocate
  • Own attribution and reporting — build the analytics and attribution model that shows what marketing sourced, what it influenced, and what it cost. Report funnel health to leadership on a cadence they trust, and be rigorous about what a number does and doesn't prove
  • Build the function — start hands-on as the owner of the whole funnel; establish the operating model, then build and lead the team (and manage agencies and contractors) as the engine scales
  • Champion AI-native marketing — use agentic and AI-assisted workflows across content, research, and campaign operations to run a lean, high-output function
  • Own market intelligence — develop a deep understanding of customers, competitors, and the evolving cross-border payments landscape to identify opportunities, refine positioning, and shape go-to-market strategy. Translate market insights into actionable recommendations for Product, Sales, and executive leadership.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in B2B marketing, with 3+ years leading demand generation or full-funnel marketing — ideally in payments, fintech, or infrastructure/API products
  • A track record of personally owning a pipeline number — sourced and influenced — and moving it, not just running programs
  • Fluency across the modern demand stack: SEO/GEO, content, paid social, lifecycle, outreach, and events — and the judgement to know where the leverage is for a considered, high-ACV B2B buyer
  • Strong positioning and storytelling instincts — you can take a technically complex, differentiated product and make it clear and compelling to a non-technical buyer
  • Data-fluent and attribution-rigorous — you reach for the dashboard before the meeting and can defend what marketing actually drove
  • A builder-operator profile: you execute hands-on today and architect the function that scales tomorrow
  • Excellent written and verbal communication — you set the bar for how the company writes and talks about itself

Preferred

  • Cross-border payments, digital-wallet, or alternative-payment-method ecosystem experience
  • Experience marketing to both enterprise platforms and developer/startup audiences
  • Comfort building in public and driving founder-led / executive thought leadership
  • Bilingual English/Chinese, or experience marketing across US and Greater China audiences
  • Enthusiasm for AI-assisted and agentic marketing workflows — you\'re excited to run a lean function that punches above its headcount

Benefits

  • Competitive benefits package with employer-paid health insurance, 401(k) match, and generous time off
